The Stuff of Life – The Trey Riel

Ian Kydd Miller's avatara world without pictures is like coffee without cream and sugar, bitter

Small mud carps or โ€œTrey Rielโ€ (Henicorhynchus entmema and H. siamensis) are the most commercially important keystone species in Cambodia, according to Wonders of the Mekong project. These two species are also very important to the ecology of the Mekong River basin and the food security of people living in the region..

In Cambodiaโ€™sTonle Sap Lake, anyone with the permission of the government can catch Riel for only five to six days from the 8th day of the dark moon to before the full moon, based on the Khmer calendar. After dressing the Riel, Khmer women put the fish in bamboo containers and crush it with their feet, similar to wine made by stepping on grapes.

Cambodian riel (Money). Popular belief suggests that the name of the currency comes from the Mekong river fish, the riel (โ€œsmall fishโ€ in Khmer). It is more likely that the name derivesโ€ฆ

Ian Kydd Miller's avatara world without pictures is like coffee without cream and sugar, bitter

Took a trip on the ferry over the Tonle Sap river today to get out and make some pictures. Using my Fujifilm XT3 and an XF 16-80 f4 OIS WR zoom. The lens is new too me so was really just giving it a workout.

This is a fine walk around and travel lens, no real need to carry anything else.

Why the camera you use (probably) doesnโ€™t matter. โ€” One Camera One Lens

We live in a world where we want, want, want, and this goes for photographers as much as anyone else. However, the fact is, your latest camera you have just bought, really didnโ€™t matter to your photography as much as you hoped. Hereโ€™s whyโ€ฆ First of all, if youโ€™re a professional photographer, this doesnโ€™t apply [โ€ฆ]

Along the Tracks – Phnom Penh

opinons, thoughts, photography, pictures, public, Travel, Uncategorized

The slum district along the railway tracks leading out of Phnom Penh through Toul Kok is rumoured to be developed after all the people are moved out.

It is an area I have documented quite a bit over the years and I thought I had better go take a fresh look before it disappears under concrete and glass. Apparently, there are plans to redevelop the railway lines that run through it and the people will be required to move.

The VILTROX 23mm f1.4

Uncategorized

When I picked up this lens recently as part of a purchase of my Fuji X Pro 3 I was not expecting the result to match the Fuji XF 23mm f2 that I already owned but I was pleasantly surprised when I used it for the first time. It is, I found, a solidly built lens with equally solid performance.

The images it produces are sharp and contrasty but a little warmer in colour than the XF 23mm f2 and the AF is surprisingly a little faster, giving excellent results in my street pictures as can be seen below in the images of Venice Beach, California on a recent trip I was fortunate to make.

I found myself using this lens a lot on that trip as it was giving me the results I wanted and was quick and easy to use although a little heavier than the Fuji XF 23 f2. It is certainly a lens I would recommend.

Fuji X Pro2 + XF 50mm f2 and 56mm f1.2 great for street.

Both these lenses are suitable for street photography but I find the smaller and lighter XF 50mm f2 gives equally good results as its more expensive and heavier sister lens the XF 56mm f1.2

Fujifilm X-Trans I (X-E1 + X-Pro1) Film Simulation Recipe: Ektachrome

Uncategorized

Used a lot of Ektachrome in my time and this is a good representation of the reality of the film.

Diesel โ€“ Park City, UT โ€“ Fujifilm X-Pro1 โ€“ โ€œEktachromeโ€

Ektachrome is a line of color transparency film introduced by Kodak in the 1940โ€™s. I did some research, and counted 40 different emulsions over the years that carried the Ektachrome name! Generally speaking, Ektachrome was less warm than Kodachrome (although it depends on which Ektachrome youโ€™re referring to), and also less archival. While Kodachrome was discontinued in 2009, Ektachrome can still be purchased today. Iโ€™m not certain which (of the 40) Ektachrome films this recipe most closely resembles. It has more of a general Ektachrome feel rather than being an exact copy of a specific emulsion.

This was a Patron Early-Access recipe, but has been replaced by another, so it is now available to everyone! If you are a Fuji X Weekly App Patron, be sure to look for the recipe that replaced this one. This โ€œEktachromeโ€ recipe is compatibleโ€ฆ
