As a landscape shooter, I may be best known for my water photography: streams, waterfalls, rivers, and on and on!\u00a0 The new FUJIFILM X-T2 is especially well suited because of several key features.
\nBefore its release in July 2016, I had the chance to wring one out in the Great Smoky Mountains, and the experience solidified for me that the X-T2 is truly the professional nature photographer\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n

Here are my favorite features;<\/p>\n

1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The\u00a0wonderful new viewfinder<\/b>\u00a0of the X-T2 combined with distinct advantages of a mirrorless camera makes this kind of imaging a joy!\u00a0 When shooting long exposures for a silky rendition of moving water, you can see the effects of the polarizer and the tonal range in real time.\u00a0 While you can see that with a DSLR, you can\u2019t see what the actual final file will look like as in the X-T2!\u00a0 The resolution and magnification of the new viewfinder allow even seeing the smallest subtleties of reflections and minute details.<\/p>\n

2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I\u2019ve fallen in love with the\u00a0Exposure Compensation Dial<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 one of the greatest features of the FUJIFILM X Series cameras, especially the X-T2.\u00a0 I shoot in Aperture Priority Mode and use the Exposure Compensation Dial to get the exact exposure I need.\u00a0 With the in-viewfinder histogram, you can actually see your histogram scale and visually see if you are holding highlight detail as you actually dial in compensation.\u00a0 The dial has 1\/3rd<\/sup>\u00a0stops of adjustment, so very precise exposures can be attained.\u00a0 The best news is the finished file is identical to what you saw while adjusting the exposure!<\/p>\n

3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 When doing water landscapes it is key to pick your focus point carefully and the\u00a0new joystick<\/b>\u00a0allows very precise placement of the focusing point!<\/p>\n

4)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Capturing moving water can be challenging: you may be working in the rain or have spray from waterfalls. These conditions never worry me with the superior\u00a0weather-resistance<\/strong>\u00a0of the X-T2 and WR lenses!\u00a0 The XF16-55mmF2.8 R LM WR is my favorite for these kinds of photographic situations!<\/p>\n

While I\u2019m finding the X-T2 to be ideal for much of the kind of work I do, it is especially wonderful for landscape, nature and close-up work!
