Sore legs from a weekend hike, exciting news, and a giveaway. Not bad for a Monday. 

 

 North Cascades, September 2016

North Cascades, September 2016

 

It will officially be fall in just a few days and my hike this past weekend got me awfully excited for the coming season. Crisp air, much needed sunshine, a little preview of some fall foliage (it’s going to be so pretty this year!) and even some snow! The lingering mist, surprise rainbows and lack of cell service were just what the doctor ordered. As I mentioned on Instagram, all the images here were taken with my Fujifilm X-Pro2.

 

I have been a longtime fan of the X series and have shot with them for years, so when the folks at Fujifilm asked me to consider being a X-Photographer, I didn’t even need to think about it. Needless to say, I’m SO excited to join the ranks! Over the next few weeks, I’ll be sharing more about what we’ve been cooking up, but for now…

 

Let’s do a giveaway!

 

I’m giving away one FUJIFILM X70 camera! Like all X Series cameras, the X70 offers simple manual operation, amazing image quality, and a beautiful touch-screen display that rotates 180 degrees. It’s also perfectly compact for your day-to-day adventures. You can read more about the X70 here.

 

To Enter:

 

1.     Leave a comment letting me know what you’re most excited to photograph this fall

2.     The winner will be selected at random, contacted via email, and announced via an edit to this post

3.     All comments must be posted by Friday, September 23rd to be eligible to win

 

Good luck and happy fall!

 

Giveaway Update: 

Congrats, Aaron Durand! You are the winner of the FUJIFILM X70! Please email me at veekster@icloud.com for instructions. 

 

Thank you all who participated in the contest! Please subscribe below, so you don’t miss the next one!

I’m most looking forward to photographing Lake Taupo and her shoreline on my trip to New Zealand later this year. Can’t wait.

I just moved from Canon to Fuji this month and I’m been loving the X-Pro 2.
Congratulations on being a X-Photographer!!! hearing this makes me really excited for you!
Feels like I’m going along your journey. 😀

Well, I’m pretty excited to shoot the change of outfits that people will be transitioning from Summer to Fall apparel.
The sun will be setting earlier than usual so that means earlier golden lights to shoot alongside the golden leaves & golden people.

Going to blue ridge parkway this coming month with the love of my life to photograph the autumn leaf colour!

Reply Corey September 19, 2016 at 8:00 pm

Looking forward to photographing North Cascades myself this fall, also Leavenworth and hopefully one more trip to Hoh

Reply Danny Ruchtie September 19, 2016 at 8:04 pm

Hi Victoria, I can’t wait to shoot the purple Dutch heather fields this fall. If you have a change to visit the Netherlands in the fall make sure you to visit National park de hooge Veluwe!

Reply mikecarnevale September 19, 2016 at 8:06 pm

I’m looking forward to traveling to Montreal for a few days to take some photos! And obviously the amazing weather Fall brings it’s my favorite season!

Reply Jeff Hoffman September 19, 2016 at 8:09 pm

I’ll be shooting the foggy beaches of the central coast and some street photography at the campus.

Reply Seth Reichenbach September 19, 2016 at 8:12 pm

This fall, I’m most excited to photograph the changing autumn colors in the city and around my university campus! I love the warm tones of fall!

Reply Jason watts September 19, 2016 at 8:20 pm

I’m excited to photograph people this fall. I’m trying to get more into portraiture and get out of my shell. Can’t wait!

Reply Josh Randle September 19, 2016 at 8:23 pm

I’m looking forward to shooting the Midwest and it’s fall colors! definitely traveling around and shooting some state parks! So, I’m very excited!

Reply Marius Peter September 19, 2016 at 8:46 pm

Can’t wait to photograph the autumn colors. And my kidos. And some portraits.

Reply Jen Donggur September 19, 2016 at 8:52 pm

It’s pretty difficult to not want to go out and photograph everything during fall when you’re living in North Carolina and that’s what I intend to do!

Hiking is my favorite pastime, especially during the autumn season when the leaves begin making their beautiful transformation. I would love to take this camera with me while cruising down the Blue Ridge Parkway, hiking a familiar or new trail, cooling off at a waterfall, catching sunrise/sunset at an overlook or a summit, or camping for a few days.

I’m also trying to get out of my comfort zone this year by actually trying to shoot more portraits. This new season would be the perfect time to to this!

P.S. I’d honestly take this camera with me wherever I go.

Reply Aaron Durand September 19, 2016 at 9:01 pm

This fall I want to savor the memories I’ll be sharing with my wife as she enters the final trimester of our pregnancy with a little boy due in late December. He’ll be surrounded by family at his birth and we’ve just begun to build out his nursery in our first home together that we purchased last January. Very exciting times. <3

We’re gonna need a great digital camera to shoot his early life and eventual adventures around the greater PNW. Literally cannot wait to get my f/2.8 baby portrait on.

Congrats Veeks!

Reply Adrien Ledoux September 19, 2016 at 9:05 pm

Really nice article. I am looking forward to shoot additional pictures of the peak district (uk) during autumn. The mix of cold colours with the water against the warmth of the foliage is always superb… Can’t wait to see/read more for you

Reply Christian September 19, 2016 at 9:20 pm

I’m really looking forward to shooting the Te Araroa trail that I will be hiking from January to March. It’s my first long distance hike, and I can’t wait to be shooting the beautiful southern alps for days on end.

Reply Ashley Gervin September 19, 2016 at 10:07 pm

This fall shall be unforgettable because I am visiting Canada and Portland for the first time in October. I am inspired by Canada’s beautiful landscape that’s been so well preserved over the years. I hope to capture typical fall colors with hints of snow in Canada’s rocky mountain range. There’s something so beautiful about fall foliage and snow! As for Portland, I hope for rain and lots of it. For me, it’s not Fall without a little rain. Plus it makes things a little more challenging when shooting and who doesn’t love a good challenge!

Reply Nicholas Weikel September 19, 2016 at 10:16 pm

I’m looking forward to capturing the western larch trees turn golden yellow next month in the Enchantment Basin near Leavenworth, WA.

Reply Steve Rocca September 19, 2016 at 10:30 pm

Excited to photograph the cider mills, haunted house, and general outdoors this fall with my two year old son. Getting more comfortable with the Fujifilm system with enable me to grab the great Michigan fall colors.

Reply Nicole Footer September 19, 2016 at 10:34 pm

I’m most excited to photograph the beautiful New England foliage and hopefully the various trips to orchards and pumpkin patches!

Reply Melissa Ta September 19, 2016 at 11:35 pm

Wow, these images are stunning! I hope to be able to go out on more hikes or simple adventures in undiscovered places.

Reply Kara Mercer September 19, 2016 at 11:51 pm

I am most excited for cabin trips and pretty fall color around Washington! Also, wearing layers and going out to shoot!!

Reply Vivian Song September 20, 2016 at 12:48 am

I am most excited to photograph the autumn colors around New York!

Reply Melissa Prince Martin September 20, 2016 at 12:55 am

I’m excited to give this camera to my husband so he can take pictures of our newborn baby due December of this year!

Reply maria cuesta September 20, 2016 at 1:43 am

i am most excited to capture the moments of a roadtrip I hope to go on this fall up to Georgia with friends. to capture all the little moments wherever I am and the colors that fall brings!

Reply Nacho Aragon September 20, 2016 at 2:37 am

I’m excited to use this camera to capture my moments in college and my travels with my friends and family.

Reply Jacob Yi September 20, 2016 at 2:48 am

The images that you took looks stunning! I am looking forward to keep on exploring and photograph the colors of fall.

Congratulations on becoming an X-Photographer! What I’m excited to shoot is the fujifilm meet in Chicago!

I’ve missed the rain and fog … 😍

Reply Claire Schechter September 20, 2016 at 6:01 am

Love all your photography & hikes & travels! I am excited to photograph the PNW going from green to green + fire colors. I’m planning an extended camping trip to capture the larches at the peak on mountain loop highway too.

Reply Jason Gervais September 20, 2016 at 12:35 pm

Congrats! I’m looking forward to photographing Michigan in the fall

Reply lavinia cernau September 20, 2016 at 1:31 pm

Congratulations, Victoria!
Excited to capture fall here in Transylvania – hopefully new locations, but old ones will do fine. Especially grandma’s cottage in the Apuseni mountains.
Warmest,
lavinia cernau

Reply James Wright September 20, 2016 at 2:05 pm

I’m excited to photograph trees revealing their naked form as they shed their leaves.

Reply Clint Burgess September 20, 2016 at 2:47 pm

Thanks for the opportunity with the give away Victoria. I’ve recently relocated from Eastern Washington to the Portland, Oregon area. I’ve only been here about three months but in that brief time I’ve seen so much that needs to be photographed. The city is vibrant and eclectic, the woods beg to be explored and the coast, well, the ocean calls like a siren song to be held, even if only for a moment, in a frame.
All of this is what I’m looking incredibly forward to photographing this fall.

Reply Michel O'Hara September 20, 2016 at 2:50 pm

Such a gorgeous blog Victoria! Just found you via the FujiX feed on Instagram. Would love the opportunity to win this camera as I’m heading to Paris this fall and it would be an amazing place to capture with a new camera. Look forward to seeing more of your beautiful work.

Reply Max Schachner September 20, 2016 at 3:04 pm

I would say I’m definitly looking foward to start shooting some photos in morning in the autumnal forest here in Styria, Austria. Its is amazing what a wonderful atmosphere there is when the light begins to break through the layers of fog and in combination with all the colorful leafs. Just wow!

Loving the pictures from this post. <3

Reply Danielle Eakins September 20, 2016 at 11:03 pm

The fujifilm x70 would be a perfect option with trips to Hawaii and New Zealand planned and PNW weekend adventures in the meantime!

Reply William Lee September 20, 2016 at 11:49 pm

Congratulations Victoria! Your photos are simply stunning and I got a lot of inspiration from them. Autumn in New York is truly special and I look forward to capturing its warm colors, festive atmosphere, and holiday sounds. Thanks for sharing this giveaway with us.

Reply Daniel Yakobchuk September 21, 2016 at 6:49 pm

Congratulations Veek 🙂 I’m so glad you’ve discovered and are now nurturing your passion in the art of photography, the thrill of travel, and in the growth of your community. It’s so fun to watch you do what you love! I love music. Obviously. There is so much raw emotion to be seen from so many different perspectives: as a musician, as an individual listener and as a collective audience. There’s something so beautiful about a group of people coming together and connecting with one another through the sound of music. There’s something so raw and real about the musician communicating through his gifts and talents. As I travel across the southern states this fall and also continue to explore my new home in Dallas, I plan to discreetly capture these fleeting moments of transparency, vulnerability and true emotion that only music can bring out of our human hearts and minds. I’ll also be sharing photos of my life on the road with bandmates and our production team. With plenty of behind-the-scenes excitement going on, my musically inclined "co-workers" will appreciate a hard copy of the memories we’re bound to create. I believe those memories are something to be shared with the rest of the world as well. The Fujifilm x70 will help me do just that. Love you, bye.
