Fujifilm GFX 100 is a Beast, But Not Without Problems

Fujifilm-GFX-100-Image-Sample-7

100 MP for $ 10K. That’s some serious green for a very serious camera. Being Fuji’s third medium format camera, the GFX 100 has a lot going for it. A high-resolution 100 MP sensor, the first of its kind IBIS (for medium format), pro-grade build and a fresh design approach. I have been shooting with the GFX 100 for the past month or so, and so far there is a lot I like about the camera, but some things are going to be hard to get used to.

41 Photographs that embody the simple joys of play

Have you ever wondered how your favorite photographers stay inspired?

Do you wish that you could have access to their unending ideas and creativity?

Well guess what? We know the secret: COMMUNITY!

Over at Clickin Moms, we are always thinking of new contests, games, and exercises to strengthen our photographic skills while having fun and making friends. One of our favorite traditions is the monthly forum contest. We announce a theme and the Clickin Moms members share all of the ways that they were inspired to capture it.

In August, the Clickin Moms community worked to create images for the theme of “Play.” These photographs fill us with the simple joys of games, fun, and taking the time to be a little carefree.

Today we are sharing some of our very favorites for you to enjoy here. We know that you are going to be just as inspired as we are by the amazing artists of the Clickin Moms community. We are thrilled to congratulate Melinda McIntyre for her winning shot (above) that has earned her a live Breakout session from Click Photo School!
