https://youtu.be/tGVpM3KXBCQ Well…I have 3 cameras again. I'm hopeless, seriously. I need help. G.A.S. is real and I have no cure, lol, but allow me to attempt to justify my purchase of the Fujifilm X-T2 to the gods of photography gear.

“STREET SAGE” – FUJIFILM FILM SIMULATION RECIPE
https://youtu.be/r9MyvmG-i8Y As with many of my recipes, Street Sage is a result of experimenting.

Now I'm approaching 3000 YouTube subscribers and although that's not a lot compared to some it's enough to start promoting other channels. I'm starting with 6 channels... Continue Reading →
