x100 images from Syria
I have been adding to the X100 images thread from inside Syria for those interested.
So far the x100s (x2) have held up real well, despite being shelled for 8 hours and being caked in dirt!

Will do. Bit of a strange lull right now after a scary night and day.
Consider it 'x100, trial by fire'

Stay safe.

I will start a new thread when possible. Should be transmitting again soon.
Can you see if comment about US personnel confirmable? I would appreciate it.
I know many very highly regarded photographers sporting these things (x100). After a few days dodging shells and such I can only thank the stars I'm not toting two big dslrs!

How often do you see a photo of Warren Buffet, when he dosen't have a ice cream bar in his hand? It's not because he likes ice cream, it's part of his "meda image" and he pays for the placement. Warren is not a super rich puppet master - he's just a regular guy, like us - and likes an ice cream bar, just like the "little people do"..

Big Media has ALWAYS been a tool of Big Money. Read up on the Anarchist movement of the 1880s through 1920s, or the breaking of Unions at that time, or Jim Crow Apartheid under the Mason Dixon line through the 60s, or the Viet Nam War, or the Black Power Movement. Big Media has always inflamed the popular feeling against people seeking to assert their rights as Americans and to change things. It has always framed the issues in a way that justifies those in power and those with the money (essentially a difference without a distinction). |

Sorry folks, no images right now as laptop has been fatally wounded. RIP
X100's holding up well in firefights and very adverse conditions. Outlets all over the world picking up work with no concerns over files etc.
Some small points that maybe some of you can answer or speak two. Disclaimer, I know very well that the X100 was never built with combat operations in mind.
Exposure comp and shutter spead dials very easy to change in error. A bit more resistance would have been great. Having to tape everything up in firefights right now to avoid unexpected changes.
Much like the M8, the drive buttons etc. are very easy to mistakenly bump when in dynamic situations. Recessed or another fix would be highly appreciated!
Focus peaking. Enough said.
With these things in place the camera would be as close to perfect as I have found. I can live with 6 batteries at a time as they are small and light. If I could get my hands on the 28mm lens I would do it in a second and never look back!
I am receiving a new laptop soon and will post images ASAP. Incredibly complicated to get the DHL huh to deliver here |
