FUJIFILM XQ2 - Portrait and landscape photography

I'm not a pro photographer, just an enthusiast!

 I got a new FujiFilm XQ2 last week and was playing around with it. My biggest concern was about portrait photography as I really like to take portraits with nice bokeh. Before buying I did some research on google, but couldn't find any major posts on this.

 Looks like it's pretty good for half-body portrait shot. I took some photos of my niece. I wanted to experiment on full-body portrait also, but my niece got angry with me. :(
The picture quality is pretty awesome and color rendering is also really good. And as you can see, the picture came with good bokeh. I did the shoot 1m - 1.5m away from the subject by zooming in with aperture at f/4.9. You can experiment with different distance from the subject with different apertures.

These all pics are Straight Out of Camera.

















































XQ2 is really good for the landscape as well. It cannot deliver ultra wide-angle shots, but good enough for wide-angle shots I believe. Sadly, there is no inbuilt neutral density filter in XQ2.

Windows 10 have a new mechanism that will allow software developers to integrate their applications with the antimalware programs exist on users’ computers. The goal of the new Antimalware Scan Interface (AMSI) is to let applications send content to the locally installed antivirus product to be checked for malware. C# sample code is not available in msdn. Here is the sample C# code to communicate with antimalware product installed in your machine. I have Windows Defender installed in my machine and this code communicates to windows defender internally to get the job done. public enum AMSI_RESULT 3: { 4: AMSI_RESULT_CLEAN = 0, 5: AMSI_RESULT_NOT_DETECTED = 1, 6: AMSI_RESULT_DETECTED = 32768 7: } 8: 9: [DllImport("Amsi.dll", EntryPoint = "AmsiInitialize", CallingConvention = CallingConvention.StdCall)] 10: public static extern int AmsiInitialize([MarshalAs(UnmanagedType.LPWStr)]string appName, out IntPtr amsi

Travel Date: Saturday, 18-Jan-2020 Dawn, 4 AM Wanted to take a tiny break from the mundane life. Much needed vacation Whenever I feel to travel, I want to travel very next day, or maybe the very next available weekend. And once the travel idea, crawl into my mind, I’m literally screwed, I can’t sleep. I dream my entire nights about the trip destinations, the inner peace I’m gonna experience over there, the photos I’m gonna shoot over there . And I will be like to the mind, " Dude, What’s your problem. Stop the insane dreams and allow me to sleep! " My mind, “ No bro, You are done. I’ve to be there before the body reaches there. ” And mesmerizing Munnar is always the first destination comes to my mind when I'm in Kochi, as I can experience the serene atmosphere, the clean and crisp air at the upper atmosphere. A tour to an abundant forest is always an enchanting experience. I dreamt and dreamt and dreamt and feels the goosebumps, lying in my

Missing her badly. Need to date her once more at least.. ;)

August 26, 2011 Missing those days badly. “Very few people have ever said anything nice about Calcutta, unless they were Bengali.” (Geoffrey Moorhouse) Kolkata , The City of joy   She is very beautiful and will create a strong bond with you for a lifetime. If you had lived with her for some time, she would gift warm memories you will never forget in all your life!  I was with her for 4 years and imagine the deep affection I’ve had for her. I always enjoyed the weekends with her, strolling in the old streets or in the high-tech Salt Lake City where air-conditioned cars silently traversed alongside cycle rickshaws and auto-rickshaws. The tuk-tuk drivers in Kolkata never cease to  amaze you with their impressive driving skills and to enjoy the true roller-coaster tuk-tuk ride, I suggest taking a ride in Salt Lake on the morning of any weekday, a tuk-tuk fast and furious? a gripping experience.
