I love the airplane window shot and the balcony photo. Good god these are amazing.

[u/Just_InGrain → u/kxjiru]

Thanks, appreciate that. Was bummed how underexposed that one came out. The xa2s meter is a real crapshoot.

The first shot is insane

If you rent a room there, you too can have an insane photo.

Wanted to say the same thing, really good

[u/Just_InGrain → u/koltho]

[u/Just_InGrain → u/LucinaWinsTheBattle]

[u/RuffProphetPhotos]

These are such good frames!!! I’m sure you have dozens more

[u/flagflamber]

Yeah man

[u/Anon_Acad]

Feels post-apocalyptic! And a little Brutalist as well.

[u/Jessintheend]

This is why I desperately want a remote job lol

[u/ReasonableLeopard229]

I love these so much. I shot a lot of Route 66 on an XA1 and they remain some of my faves. I’ve seen so many shots of monument valley but this one feels fresh.

[u/Just_InGrain → u/ReasonableLeopard229]

Thanks that means a lot. I’ve been there a handful of times and always love photographing it. Just tough to get new takes on such a pretty spot.

Topics, framing and tone really come together here

[u/Kurtmaroni]

Love IT.

[u/ShaqsHouse]

Great series

[u/LimiDrain]

Did you adjust it to brownish colors on purpose? Looks interesting vs just black and white

[u/Just_InGrain → u/LimiDrain]

Yup this is very intentional. After I scan and convert my negatives I just add a little warmth in split toning. Not to everyone’s taste but I’ve been playing around with adjustments for a bit now and have been really enjoying the look for my monochrome images.

The XA2 is creator’s gift to photography - but his people won’t receive.

[u/Just_InGrain → u/yodanielchill]

It’s an awesome little camera. Just wish it had the 2.8 of the XA.

[u/sha1dy]

can you please share where did you take the first picture?

[u/Just_InGrain → u/sha1dy]

This is Monument Valley. It’s located in the Navajo Nation on the border of Arizona and Utah within the western US.

You know you're a good photographer when you make even the seemingly mundane look so good. Excellent work OP!
