Tonight's sunset on our local beach was one of those that got better the longer you stayed. This was my final shot, long after the sun had disappeared as the red glow deepened.

“Excellent” landscape/seascape Fujigraph, nothing more to be said.

Just wow.... Wonderful image, only improvement would be a dolphin breaking the water.
That's a lovely spot, with the pier to the left and the tower on the cliff.

More of the visiting Mallards. I shot this with the T2, 100-400 & 1.4TC. That converter is just brilliant, hardly notice any drop in IQ, only problem is that it only opens up to f8 at full reach like this.

Ok thank you for your comments. I’ll have look at the xh1
Ok thank you I’ll have a look at the x100 seriesIt depends how steady your hands are. Pete's (@imattersuk) suggestion of a GoPro8 is a good one, as this has warp stalisation (digital IBIS) on board and works very effectively.
If you don't think you would need interchangeable lenses then an X100 family camera and a GoPro could be a good combination. Stretch to the X100V if you can as its weather sealed (with optional filter) or the X100F otherwise. These cameras are very discrete and ideal for street work. Need your brave pills to get in close though

Ace. Great sky patterns and colours. I like the foreground as well.

From a little while back when a lot of Shropshire was flooded. Most of my local haunt, Attingham Park, was underwater. Made for an interesting walk in the morning though.
Here's one from back then..

Which lens did you use for your test please?;Just thought i'd give an update on my new Fuji X-T4.
Well i've had it for about a week now and have to say i'm really impressed with it. It's a huge upgrade from my X-T2. The AF is way better and the continuous focussing capabilities are truly impressive. I shot a burst of 35 images of my wife waling towards me in dificult lighting conditions and only 3 were ever so slightly out of focus, the rest were pin sharp. Also tracking in video has been impressive too in my limited testing. Managed a video of my daughter riding towards me on her bike and it never missed focus and tracked her all the way.
Obviously I need to do more testing but early signs are very good. Had a play with the slow mo footage too and it looks gorgeous
Not sure about the HDR function on the camera. Still undecided whether it's best to use this or stick to normal HDR bracketing
This is absolutely stunning, great atmosphere, tones and composition.From a little while back when a lot of Shropshire was flooded. Most of my local haunt, Attingham Park, was underwater. Made for an interesting walk in the morning though.

Wow, thank you everyone for all of your comments and likes! We are lucky to live just five minutes' walk away from the beach and reactions like this are a reminder not to take it for granted.
Peter @macvisual it was handheld with the X-T3 and 18-55 lens, which is my usual dog-walking kit, and the OIS helped a lot.
Steve @Jelster We do have seals and basking sharks in the bay quite often but the dolphins stay a bit further out
Yes it is a very photogenic spot.

I've heard via "The Angry Photographer" on YouTube recently that Fuji are releasing both these new lenses at some point soon, not sure exactly when, but apparently these two new lenses were due release to coincide with the launch of the new X-T4
XF300mm f/4
XF500mm f/5.6
Looking forward to the glass being available for sure...!

Hello All, wishing you a safe lock down.
We are still very much in the learning curve with our X-T20, and a very steep curve it is. We only have the XF 18- 55 lens as yet, a long term hobby of mine has been collecting old coins, I would like to photograph some of these but ofcourse this lens would not be of use for that? Would anyone suggest a lens from the XF or XC range that we should look at next. At the moment I am only using the camera in auto mode, am rather scared of delving too far in manual for the fear of not getting back to original setting.
Thanks for help given.
Paul

Welcome to the house of fun
You could use extention tubes. If you skip back a few pages you`ll find some examples
@stupar has just moved some on. I`m sure h`ll be able to tell you what he thinks of them.

Hello Paul welcome to the world of Fuji, as Paulie says above you could try extension tubes or even a Raynox150 that just clips onto the end of the lens.

Put my xt-20 on continues focus today and was surprised to see it focuses as you move around the area you want to focus on without having to touch shutter release button, unlike my Canon DSLR requires me to keep shutter button depressed continually.
Must be quite heavy on battery usage.

I have xc35 and 50-230 both are excellent optically but aren't built to professional levels in terms of structure, optically they are brilliant. I understand the focus motors are a little slower too, but seem ok if not lightning fast, depends on what you intend to use the camera for.

Last year I used the XF18-55mm to photograph some very old slides, using the Raynox 150 and was chuffed it worked a treat.
FamilyThanks Dave, shall look into both that and the extension tubes, otherwise is there another lens with a close focal distance that would be a useful addition to our 18-55.
