Trip update & Photos - Coromandale peninsula
Greetings friends,
As the weather seemed to improve, we set out towards the Coromandale peninsula 4 days ago.
We had an interesting trip in this beautiful area, and I had a chance to practice my photography (more seascape and cheesy stuff ;).
Plans ahead - Rotorua, the capital of geothermal activity, and into lake Taupo and Tongariro.
Enjoy the photos!
We arrived at a nice little waterfall on our first day, and had a tea break
Beatiful sunset on our sleeping location, day 1
An opportunity for a stock image, I'm taking it!
Sunrise near our rest location, day 3
Day 4 - Amazing hot water springs right on the beach - Just dig Your hole!
Hope You've enjoyed, and see You next time!
Beautiful!
Thans, @lakshmi
Wow!! This is amazing... What camera are you using... the shots came out excellent. Keep up the good work :D
Thank You! I'm using Fujifilm X-T10
I'm a fuji shooter too. Amazing little cameras.
Im still very new to nice cameras but I hear alot of good reviews on some of the newer Fuji models.
Im still a basic and generic fella camera wise but learning none the less :)
@randystiefer, Yes, I'm quite happy with it as first camera. Still looking forward to upgrade to a better landscape camera, as I didn't know it would be my thing when I bought it.
@diggerdugg, I'm new as well. I knew nothing about cameras a year ago, except that I wanted to photograph, so I called a photography teacher and he recommended this model to begin with. overall I'm happy with it, learning to take advantage of what It gives me.
I don't know what do You mean by "generic", but sometimes I wish I had a "generic" Canon or Nikon too :)
They'r so popular for a reason.
BTW I can recommend few very instructive YouTube channels, some for technical teaching, and some for inspiration
I've owned very expensive camera's from both canon(6D) and sony(a77 mkii) and I wouldn't trade my X-T20 for either. @truedwell. The X-T10 can perform remarkably well at landscapes. If you don't already have it the first thing I would do is upgrade to the 10-24mm lenses as it is a superb landscape(and video) lens. After that stepping up to the X-T20 would be your next best move. You'd really only need the X-T2 if you are going to get heavy into video, sports, or wildlife.
Thanks for the informative reply. I value Your advice - will look into those lens.
What lenses do You use for wildlife photography? anyting equivilent to 100-300mm or so?
The vast majority of my wildlife photos were taken using the sigma 150-500mm lens on a sony a77 II. For the fujifilm cameras the 100-400mm is the best option and on my wishlist.
Love the long exposure on the second image. They're all very nice.
Thank You! I like this one too..
Amazing pictures and landscape!
Thank You, @ladybug146

I never thought about taking photos of people professionally but i like to take photos for fun, especially of old people. never tried to take pics of young and beautiful girls, and because i follow your channel for some time you made me blush :)
