Join me on a photowalk in Sedona, Arizona! It will be on Saturday, November 8th, in Oak Creek Canyon just outside of Sedona. We’ll meet at the West Fork Oak Creek Trailhead at 3:30 PM. This is a collaborative event with Nuzira, so Lucas White will be there, too.
The walk will be about an hour-and-a-half to two hours long. We’ll stroll with our cameras at a slow pace, and not go very far. The West Fork Oak Creek Trail is about three miles long (six total out-and-back), but we’re not likely to go any further than one mile in, if even that (maybe two miles out-and-back, but probably not even that far). It’s a dirt path, but well maintained. It’s an easy hike (literally, it’s rated as Easy), but it might be difficult for those with disabilities since it is not paved. We’ll finish up by sundown, and hopefully get some good golden hour light for our pictures.
The scenery is amazing! It’s such a beautiful place, and perfect for landscape photography. While we’re likely to be beyond the peak of fall colors, there should still be autumn leaves for us to photograph. We’ll also see some abandoned buildings. This is one of my top favorite locations in Sedona. It’s not as well known as some other places, which means it’s usually a little less crowded. It is a fee area (I believe $5 daily, if I remember correctly). Parking is limited, but there has been plenty of spaces each time that I have visited.
This photowalk is free! You do need to register so that we know who’s coming—click here to sign up, and for further information (if you plan to come, click that link). I want to give a special thanks to Nuzira for putting this together and facilitating it. Bring whatever gear you want, and we’re just going to have fun taking pictures at a beautiful place. I hope you can make it!
Unrelated but I was wondering. I’m currently using a friends fujifilm 100f but I’m thinking about getting the x100vi. What are your thoughts on both and which one would you choose?
That’s a personal question.
I like the X100F, and, without that camera, Fuji X Weekly (and most likely this whole Film Simulation Recipe thing) wouldn’t exist today. I have a personal appreciate for it, but I would choose the X100VI (or even the X100V) over the X100F, and it’s easy for me to give that recommendation.
I know of a photographer that does professional concert/musician photos. His pictures have been on the cover of albums, and on billboards, etc.. Very talented (he’s also a very talented musician who has played at sold-out arenas). His primary camera of choice is the X100F, and he prefers that over the newer models (this is the Recipe that he uses most for those photos: https://fujixweekly.com/2018/08/25/not-my-fujifilm-x-pro2-tri-x-push-process-film-simulation-recipe/). He tried the X100V, but he didn’t like it as much as the X100F.
There’s no right or wrong answer, but if you really love the X100F, maybe that’s a good one to stick with. My personal recommendation is to get the X100VI (or even the X100V).
This probably isn’t as helpful as you were hoping, but I hope it is somehow helpful nonetheless.
