I have been getting a lot of questions on what camera, gear, and software I use to edit my photos.
I have put together a Blog page about my cameras and gear.
Here is a start on my gear on my website at - randyaeckert.smugmug.com/My-photograp...

I purchased the Fujifilm X-T5. The silver one, I love the nostalgic look. Fujifilm X-T5 review: beautiful images, classic controls. The X-T5 is in a class of its own.

These shots are right out of the camera using a recipe called Daily Astia. Shot on my Fujifilm XM5.
I usually shoot in RAF (Fuji’s RAW format) and edit each shot. I am getting lazy and am moving to getting the shot right out of the camera. I am trying different recipes.

The big question out there. “What’s the deal with all the 2016 posts I’ve been seeing on social media?”
I was on my way down to Minnesota, heading to the Red Knights MC Minnesota with my President at that time, Dave Rogers.
Post a photo of yourself in 2016!

It was nice to see the sun poke out this morning. For those who have winterized their motorcycles, that’s really too bad. I guess I will have to enjoy these warm sunny great north rides for you.

The peacocks of Beacon Hill Park live free-roaming in Beacon Hill Park and the close by neighbourhoods year-round. The first peafowl were introduced to the park in 1891.
