As the morning sun rose over the horizon, I couldn't wait to unbox my brand new Fujifilm X-T5 camera. As a photography enthusiast, I had always been interested in capturing the world around me but never took the leap to invest in a professional camera. However, on this particular morning, I felt a sudden surge of inspiration and knew it was time to take the plunge.

I stepped out into the fresh morning air, Fujifilm X-T5 and newly purchased Fujifilm XF 18mm F/2.0 lens in hand, and began experimenting with different exposures and focal lengths. The morning light and unpredictable weather conditions provided a unique and soft quality to my shots. As I wandered the streets, the peaceful atmosphere only seemed to fuel my creativity. I captured the tech campus of Eindhoven, with its unique architecture and people going about their daily routines, using the Fujifilm X-T5's intuitive controls and stunning image quality.

When I returned home, I couldn't wait to review the photos from my morning's adventure. As I scrolled through the images on my computer, I was struck by how each one perfectly captured the peaceful atmosphere of the day. In that moment, I knew that I had found my true passion - photography. The Fujifilm X-T5 had ignited a spark within me and I couldn't wait to see where my new hobby would take me, whether it be during a rainy morning or a sunny night.

ADDENDUM

(why the X-T5 and not the X100V?)

I was inspired to explore the Fujifilm camera line after discovering GxAce's youtube channel and particularly, the video "I Could Shoot a Feature Film With Just This Lens." GxAce's unique presentation style, featuring a futuristic aesthetic and reviews of vintage cameras and lenses, sparked my interest in Fujifilm cameras. After watching several of GxAce's videos and researching various Fujifilm models, I have been considering purchasing either the X100V or the X-E4. Both cameras have received high praise for their image quality and film simulation capabilities, but the X100V has a fixed lens while the X-E4 allows for lens interchangeability. As a new photographer, I am considering which model would best suit my needs and ultimately, I choose Fujifilm X-T5 due to the lens interchangeable options and adaptability to my fashion film maker.
