Fuji x100 Infrared test

A little while ago I ordered the IR720 Infrared Filter for my Fuji x100.  Well, it just arrived yesterday, so I immediately ran to my balcony to test it out. I didn’t have any of the focusing issues I’ve heard about, and the camera auto focus seemed to work pretty well, but I want to keep testing that out a bit.

Conclusion:  So far so good.  I’ll keep you posted as I know more.

Miss Universe Japan 2013 – Tokyo

Just had a good time shooting for Miss Universe Japan last night.  There were even some people there that were able to convince me to hop into a shot or two.
Click on any of these photos to open up the gallery on Facebook.  (right now, it is just getting started, but I will be adding more photos as they are completed).

 

And here is a link to the full gallery:

This and That Cafe 11

This&That Café #11, named  ”Over Land and Sea” because so many of the performers had to travel over both land and/or sea to get there, was a great night with some great music.  It was organised by TokyoDex and held at SuperDeluxe in Roppongi.

There were a lot of musicians that I was really happy to get to hear.  The first was Ken Shima and Samm Bennett of Medicine Bone.

 

 

I was really happy to meet N’Toko, who had come in from Slovenia.  Amazing MC.  And awesome shirt.

 

I also was very impressed with Kaoru Watanabe.

Pecha Kucha Night – Tokyo #94

The Pecha Kucha Night last night at SuperDeluxe was a good one!  Jean Snow, in his continuing efforts with the Pecha Kucha Mix asked for photos from me again.  I think the Mix went very well, and Pecha Kucha is always a good event.

A surprise for me last night was getting to see one of the Jumping series in it’s final state.  I have been working on these with PKN for a while, but this is the first finished one I have gotten to see.  I think it looks good!
