Oranges and lemons,
Oranges and lemons,
Say the bells of Saint Clement's.
You owe me five farthings,
Say the bells of Saint Martin's.
When will you pay me?
Say the bells of Old Bailey.
When I grow rich,
Say the bells of Shoreditch.
When will that be?
Say the bells of Stepney.
I do not know,
Say the great bells of Bow.
Here comes a candle to light you to bed,
Here comes a candle to light you to bed.

I was really impressed just how good the image from the Fuji Film X100S looked, spec's below;
- approx cost AU$900
- fixed 23mm F2 lens
- 4896 x 3264 pixels | 23.6 mm x 15.8 mm | APS-C X-Tran CMOS sensor
- Resolution 16.3 mega pixels
So I thought what would a PhaseOne image look like (not a fair comparison) spec's below;
- approx cost AU$50,000
- Schneider LS 55mm f/2.8
- 8984 x 6732 | 53.9 mm x 40.4 mm | CCD sensor
- Resolution 60.5 mega pixels
PhaseOne V's Fuji Film X100s
Cost - 55 times more | Resolution - 3.7 times more | Sensor Size - 5.8 times more
A Wild Thistle - X100S, 1/80 sec; f/8; ISO 200, and Flash set on Manual at 1/16
PhaseOne 645 DF and P65+ Digital back, 1/25 sec; f/11; ISO 50, Schneider LS 55mm f/2.8
X100S 100% Crop
PhaseOne 100% Crop
Both files were processed slightly differently. I like the X100S image better at full size due to the better detail in the upper leaves. With the 100% crops there is better detail with the PhaseOne as you would expect.
All the grain is coming from the NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 as I simulated a Agfa APX 400 film
Quick and dirty Comparison - Just for Fun:
There was really too many variables with this side by side view to consider this a fair comparison and I did it for interest sake more than anything else. But it does give a good idea just how good the X100S is as I have taken some fantastic quality images with the PhaseOne - Love them both.

Not having done a lot of off-camera flash photography and with the purchase of the some new gear I was inspired today to have a bit of fun. Thanks to some quick revision from the Lighting 101 course on David Hobby's site Strobist I quickly got up to speed.
“The Final Portrait
Here I lay, withered, nothing left
At peace, my lasting image shared.”
X100S, Off-camera flash on manual at 1/16 power, 1/125 sec; f/8; ISO 200
There is always something intersting around to get the creative juices going. We recently re-planted a big chilli tree that's doing it's best not to die, so a grabbed a chilli an put on top of an old chest which we turned into a kids toy box and the flash and some magic in Lightroom and Photoshop.
Set-up of Chilli shot with X100S and Canon 600EX-RT Flash
What I love about this image is it's simplicity, One light source directly over head and how the final image turned out. The beautiful texture of the chest and the light falling off but you can still see the hinge.
Off course the hero "Chilli" in it's withered state matched the age of the chest and with some slight Ambrotype toning and a green filter (to darken the red chilli) from Nik Silver Efex Pro 2 topped of the finished look and brought it all together.

A path welcoming you to the beautiful and relaxing Sunshine Beach, Noosa. This end of the beach is quite for those that want to escape from the more popular Main Beach Noosa. Take a picnic, sunblock and an umbrella and soak up the peace. As always take care in the ocean and swim between the flags of the Sunshine Beach Surf Lifesavers.
