Take a step past Anamizu into backwoods Noto and you\u2019ll find the real Japan. It\u2019s not that it\u2019s particularly scenic, it\u2019s that each piece of its unostentatious landscape and scenery is evocative.<\/p>\n<p>In my mind, the image of the Noto is intermingled with that of Italy, particularly the island of Sicily, for many years now one of my favorite photographic haunts. Jutting into the Japan Sea, the peninsula is surrounded by water, with winds from the continent striking its seaward side, while on side facing the mainland the seas are calm and the landscape gentle.<\/p>\n<p>In Suzu, on the windy seaward side, the coast is lined with salt ponds, much as they extend around Trapani, Sicily. Although the methods of production may differ, it seems that salt is made wherever there is wind and sea. Sicily even has a town called \u201cNoto\u201d. I don\u2019t think there\u2019s any particular connection beyond the name, but I can\u2019t help but feel some kind of bond.<\/p>\n<p>I first encountered the X Series in the form of the X-Pro1. And then the X-E1, X-E2, X-T1, X100\u2026. I spent many days walking around Sicily in the company of the X Series. It is the birthplace of many memories and more photographs than I can count.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_02.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_02.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sicilia Cefalu 2013, X-E1 \/ ZEISS Touit 2.8\/12<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_03.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_03.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Sicilia Catania 2015, X-T1 \/ XF35mm F2 R WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_04-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_04-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plocida 2017, X100F<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Of the X cameras, the Pro series has a special place in my heart. Although it became more polished with each iteration from the Pro1 to the Pro2, to be honest I didn\u2019t think it could be improved upon when it came to taking photographs. And then I got my hands on an X-Pro3. From the front it looked much the same as its predecessors, but when I turned it around I suffered a shock\u2014it had no screen!<\/p>\n<p>Whereas one usually looks for improved performance or new features in a new model, from the point of view of functionality this seemed like a step backwards. The arrow pad was also missing. It made for a very clean look but\u2014really?<br \/>\nTrue, if you wanted a screen you just had to open the display, but it seemed there would be no advantage in leaving it closed during normal use. Thinking perhaps it represented a \u201cback to the basics\u201d moment for photography, I decided to reserve my decision until I had actually tried it out. Feeling strangely more hopeful than before, I headed out to Noto.<\/p>\n<h3>A wild Kiriko Festival, seen through X-Pro3 with two lenses<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_05-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_05-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_06-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_06-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_07-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_07-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_08.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_08.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>You could say that summer in Noto is a summer of festivals. There is a stirring Kiriko Festival happening somewhere virtually every week. I was at Flatt\u2019s by the Sea\u2014a B&amp;B in Yanami, Noto-machi, run by Benjamin Flatt, an Australian who has fallen in love with Noto\u2014on the very day of Yanami\u2019s annual Kiriko Festival, a special day that brings the whole town together and on which they celebrate a custom, called \u201cyobar\u00eb\u201d, of treating guests with whom they are intimate to festival dishes and together carrying kiriko (lantern floats) on their shoulders.<\/p>\n<p>Equipped with two lenses, an XF35mmF1.4 R and an XF16mmF2.8 R, I slid in among the kiriko and began taking photographs. In situations like these it helps to have a camera with a compact, rugged body. I had heard that X-Pro3\u2019s autofocus could cope with some pretty poor lighting conditions, and indeed despite the dark I was able to photograph the wildly moving men without losing a second. The XF35mmF1.4 R in particular seemed like a completely different lens when mounted on the X-Pro3.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_09.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_09.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_10.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_10.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_11.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_11.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><h3>Despite the faint light<\/h3>\n<p>It\u2019s 4:00 am at S\u014dji-ji So\u00efn Temple in Monzen, Wajima-shi. Outside, it\u2019s still dark. An apprentice runs past carrying the waking bell. A feeling of tension wafts through the dimly-lit monastery. I enable the electronic shutter to silence the camera. The X-Pro3\u2019s autofocus is about to show its stuff. The monastery is still dark, but the image in the electronic viewfinder is bright with excellent contrast. Despite the faint light, I am comfortably able to capture the expressions of concentration on the faces of the kneeling apprentices.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_12.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_12.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_13.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_13.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_14.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_14.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_15-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_15-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_16.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_16.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_17.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_17.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_18.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_18.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_19.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_19.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I travelled to a variety of locations, including a workshop where they make traditional wajima-nuri lacquerware, the Nana\u00f6 soy-sauce brewery, and the salt ponds of Suzu.

Addressed by first one and then another, before I knew it the sun was about to set.

I myself frame almost 100% of my photos in the viewfinder. Although you may indeed be able to use a rear-panel monitor for interesting low- and high-angle shots that can\u2019t be framed in the viewfinder at eye level, or for taking your subject unawares for surprising results that could only be achieved without a viewfinder, when taking shots for my portfolio I want the viewfinder to direct my gaze at my subject.

Although leaving the rear-panel monitor closed interfered to an extent with menu operations and the like, once I got used to it I didn\u2019t find it especially troubling. On the contrary, shutting off this source of miscellaneous information allowed me to concentrate on taking on photos. The feeling of \u201cI can\u2019t see a preview\u201d soon changed to one of \u201cI don\u2019t need a preview.\u201d My feeling was that any time I might have available to look at a preview would be better spent with my eye to the viewfinder and my finger on the shutter button, ready for that next shot.<\/p>\n<p>To be frank, I don\u2019t think this camera is for everyone. Naturally I don\u2019t mean that in a bad way; rather my feeling is that this a special product that I wouldn\u2019t recommend to just anyone. The texture of the titanium body, the grip, and the overall feeling one gets from the camera strongly communicate a sense of craftsmanship. Perhaps this is a camera only for those to whom such things appeal. Many cameras take good photos, but how many cameras are there that say to you \u201cthis is the camera with which I want to take my photos\u201d? I feel that the X-Pro3 is just such a camera.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_27.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_27.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_28.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_28.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_29.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_29.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_30-1.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_30-1.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_31.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_31.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_32.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/different-breed_takahashi_32.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traveling Noto Peninsula with an X-Pro3 The Noto Peninsula, home to a rich and varied history and culture.
