Kailah

Kailah

No, this isn't a picture from Erich von Stroheim's The Devil's Passkey (1920). This is Kailah Villeneuve, one of my favourite models, photographed in February, 2013. She has a fantastic sense of drama. A good friend too!

In the Booth

These pictures were taken in early September at Zahara Jewellery at 343 Richmond Road in Westboro, Ottawa. The models are from Angie's Models and Talent. The phone both was there and the models posed and acted beautifully. Vanessa Myers and Laurence Houde proved to be not only first rate models but amazing actors.

X-Pro1 Firmware Update

Sie kommen! - Major Werner Pluskat, 6th June, 1944

The Fujifilm is getting a major (where did I hear that word?) firmware update that will likely be the panacea for this camera. The Version 2 firmware update is on its way. On the 18th of September, 2012, the new firmware update will be available. It will address pretty well all of the challenges that currently face the X-Pro1. Here is the press release from Fujifilm Canada:

http://www.fujifilm.ca/press/news/display_news?newsID=142

A special thank you goes to Greg Poole, who in Canada listened to X-Pro1 owners and passed the suggestions, big and small, to the Fujifilm technical staff in Japan. And thank you to the technical staff. I can't wait to upload the firmware and put the camera through the rigors that it is meant to perform.

Also, thank you, Fujirumors for its help and reserve. Fujirumors took a level headed approach in this announcement, never jumping to outlandish conclusions. This is why I take the site seriously. Thank you! http://www.fujirumors.com/

Also, an uploading tip. When loading the firmware onto the SD card, the instructions state to load onto the desktop. Just load directly onto the SD card. From all angles it is a far better plan.

Addendum, 11 September, 2012: Fujirumors has posted a clip from ThaiDphoto.com, showing the improvements from the firmware update. http://www.fujirumors.com/video-this-is-the-improvement-you-will-expect-from-the-new-2-0-x-pro-1-firmware/ The narrative is in Thai, but you won't have a problem following the clip. All in all, it is positive and exciting.
