Right from the beginning, I would like to say, as the title clearly shows, that shooting in JPEG mode will give you more freedom in photography. And in your life, too.
JPEG is Freedom
Fujinon and Helios – two portrait lenses
Fujinon XF 56mm F1.2 and Helios 58mm F2.0 are my 2 main prime lenses for portrait photography (sometimes I use another manual focus lens, the Pentacon 135mm F2.8), when used with a Fujifilm X mirrorless camera. I know many of the Fujifilm users do not have the 56mm prime lens for portraits, but instead, some of them use old legacy manual focus lenses as a cheap and accessible alternative.

New Year – New Resolutions in Photography
Some of us like to do an overview of the passed year, balancing the goods and the bads, followed by some kind of a “plan” for the new year to come.
What I expect from Fujifilm X100F
There is something outstanding and unique about the Fujifilm X100 series. The first X100, originally announced in September 2010, was launched in March 2011 and started what I could call “the revolution”.
About inspiration in photography and other meanings
We often look at photography and its inspiration in a very different ways and each of us extracts a different meaning. Some of us see photography as a duty, others as a passion, or even fun.
Night Photography – 12 Essential Techniques
I often discuss with my friends about the tips and tricks in all kind of photography fields. It is good to share your knowledge within a group of photographers. “Let the envy go away and act like a true member of a growing family of photographers”, I say. Each one has its own vision and original concepts and it is very profitable to share some of the techniques you have, based on your own experiences, which most of them were acquired on a trial and error approach. We often make our own mistakes, even if we were taught about them in the first place. It is good to make mistakes in photography – this is the most powerful way to learn, for good, the correct ways.
Prime lenses for street photography
This idea of an article related to street photography using prime lenses (in my case, Fujinon lenses, built by Fujifilm, because I am using a Fujifilm X-T1), just came out during my curation for some street photographs I have made during my journey to the Sunrise Country (Japan).
Bokeh – meaning & use in photography
The word “Bokeh” actually comes from the Japanese word “boke” ボケ, which means “blur”. The “h” at the end was added to emphasize on the correct pronunciation by the English speakers. “Bokeh” refers to the quality and aesthetics of the blurry parts (out of focus areas) in an image, taken by a photographic lens. It is not something you could really mathematically measure, or quantify, but more of an aspect which relates to photographic artistic principles.
