On my trip to Iceland last year, I carried my Canon 6D Mk II in the rain all day. It wasn't heavy rain, just a light and constant drizzle. The 6D Mk II isn't waterproof, but it's a semi-professional camera, so I thought it would handle a few splashes. And it did! However, by the end of the day, when we were in the car heading home, some buttons stopped working, and the connection to the lens failed as well. It seemed completely broken. I was sad because I assumed I would be without a camera for the rest of the trip (we still had 5-6 days left). The next day, we went to a house with a wall heater, and I followed some online suggestions to leave the camera and lens exposed to the heat overnight, hoping to dry it out completely. To my surprise, the camera worked perfectly the next morning!

Wondering which film simulation recipe are you using? They are beautiful.
Thanks very much Edwin, all the photos are RAW images edited in Capture One. the B&W sims are Acros and the colour are Astia or Classic Chrome.
Much better photo's than most of the other YTers. That is what it is about, not Megapixels, but making meanigful photo's.
It’s very much about the photos, not the megapixels you’re right Nick. And thanks for the lovely words, very kind.
Love your work mate 👍
Thanks very much mate!
Bro. Your photos are top class. Keep it up.
Thanks very much Charles, very kind you to say.
Beautiful stuff 😊
Cheers Nikhil, very nice of you to say!
Keep going my guy. Love your aesthetic and photos! @ryian.visuals here and sending love from Singapore.
Ah Ryian thanks very much for the kind words!
Thanks for sharing. Some great work. Shot with the 23mm this past weekend with my XE-3. Still love how it renders images with a film like quality. I have this the 35mm f2, 50mm f2 and 16mm f2.8.
That’s a great collection of lenses right there! Thanks for the lovely words too, Pedro :)
For travel I agree 💯. It's small and 2.8-4.0 is perfect. If you're traveling no need to blur out every photo at 1.8. why would anyone do that?
People can be a bit too liberal at times shooting wide open and relying on shallow depth of field to make every image.. BUT it does have its time and place, I just find I don’t need it when traveling, and I’m more than happy to compromise on that!
I get the whole, try for 2 weeks thing. I always do that. Great video aswell. Glad to see a fellow Irish Fuji enthusiast!
For the videos, did you apply LUTs or just applied the in-camera film simulations? :)
I’ve been shooting in F-Log and then using the free Fuji Eterna LUT and going from there - I can’t say I know what I’m doing but I think I’m getting better?? It’s all practice anyway.
@@ronan_duff Thanks! Can't wait to try it out 😁 It looks amazing 😎
Gorgeous work!
Thanks so much, very kind of you.
Love that video, superb shot and great use of this lens. New subscriber, cheers from Montreal!
Ah thanks very much, glad to see you’re enjoying it across the pond - glad to have you here!
A real lovely video. You have a really personable on camera prescence. You got yourself a subscriber!
Cheers Ray, that’s really nice of you to say. Thanks for the subscribe!
Take me with you next time please?
Really great video mate, I really like your content and style. I would want to learn video editing stuff to make some travel videos like yours.
Ah that’s very nice of you to say mate. I can only say I’ve learned from watching other people on here - still very much trying to figure it all out!
@@ronan_duff Hope to see more of your work and get inspiration from them
Thanks for the video! I really loved seeing again this city from another photographer prospective and recognizing alleys and places. I hope you've found some time to reach Foz do Douro with the tram, from Infante stop. Waiting for the second episode!
Foz do Douro is coming up for sure - thanks so much for checking out the video!
Great video Ronan. Glad you had fun! I live 1h away by train. Have to remember to take my X-E3 next time I go to Porto. At least to practice some shots with my 23mm.
Well now I’m jealous of you only being an hour away! Thanks so much for checking out the video.
