IT'S OVER! - Weekly X-Half Challenge #8: Doors

(original post here with all the submissions: https://www.reddit.com/r/fujiXhalf/comments/1uin964/weekly\_xhalf\_challenge\_8\_doors/)

Hello everyone! 👋

It's over another week and it's with a lot of participations. Thank you.

This week's theme was apparently simple, but it always fascinates me how each of us interprets the same challenge.

Ready for another challenge? How was this one?
Shall we go to the next one? 📷

Took this while vacationing in Beijing. Classic Negative really brought out the red in the Forbidden City

Is there a way to lock exposure?

On all my other Fuji cameras exposure is locked if I half press the shutter button, but not so on my Xhalf. Is there any other way to do this, since it also lacks an AEL button? I usually use to lock exposure and then recompose. Thanks in advance!

Edit: Thanks to all the repliers. I did a complete camera reset and now it is working as intended. I have no clue what caused the former problem. Thanks again!

Door and Help Wanted!

Hi! Got the camera yesterday, liking it so far, will be learning how to use it and how to compose nicer pictures as I go along! What are your favourite settings and or recommendations on how to get the maximum out of this fun little tool?

Shadows in ACROS

ACROS is one of my favorite film simulations to use on my X Half.

X-Half for a teen gift?

I posted this elsewhere and recommendations were overwhelmingly to avoid the xhalf… I wonder if that will be different here where there a more owners…

I am looking for a camera for my young teen. They are after a camera to mainly take photos of friends and travels, and want a vintage feel both in the camera body and photos. At this stage I don’t think different lenses etc are necessary. They do have a phone with good quality camera, but want a standalone camera to get that separation from their phone.

To me the x-half seems like it might fit the bill, though I hear it is criticised as being an over priced toy and I am a little concerned re its performance in low light. At the moment can pick one up for about $620 AUD/$430 USD, which is probably toward the upper end of what I would consider spending.

I’d be interested in others thoughts - does it sound like a good fit or is there a different camera I should consider?

Love ACROS+R

When I first studied photography we shot everything on film, mostly black & white because it was cheaper/easier to develop and print, but it was only after getting my X-Half last week I fell in love with shooting native B&W again. The ACROS simulation with the red filter applied feels so much like shooting on film, really love how their shot turned out straight from the camera.

¿Cuál es tu combinación de película y balance de blancos preferida?

Pedí a Gemini que me sugiriera combinaciones de simulaciones de película y balance de blancos para mi fuji x-half, me dio estas combinaciones que probé en esta escena, es cerca de la hora dorada. ¿Qué otras combinaciones han usado?

Instax Mini Link 1 DOES work with the Fuji X-Half

Nearly everywhere I looked only the Link 2 and Link 3 were specifically listed as being compatible to print directly from the X-Half, but I found one random specs sheet on the American Fuji website that said the Link 1 was also compatible, so I when saw a Link 1 on eBay I decided to give it a gamble. Worked straight out the box! Instantly paired and was printing right away.

The printer was listed as ‘new but broken/for parts’ as I don’t think the person knew how to connect to the printer (you have to use the app/a compatible camera not your phone’s Bluetooth settings), so scored it for £30. Possibly some revisions of the printer won’t work, so YMMV, but the one I got works like a charm.

You see these older printers going for a bargain sometimes, so thought this info would help someone out there!

Challenge #8: Door - forged bronze

I would like to express my appreciation to this community. I really enjoy seeing the perspectives of strangers in relation to these challenges, and to walk through my beatiful hometown seeing new things by trying to find nice objects to photograph.

Im not a good photographer and really need to learn about using the whitebalance. Still, I enjoy doing this and seeing other people's work.

This is in Classic Chrome, F2.8 ISO200. If anyone has any tips and tricks i'm all for it.
