This last time, it was the X100T, which can be found at a good used price, now that the X100F is out. One of my favourite places to visit in Muscat is the Mutrah area, with the nice Corniche bordering the sea, the lively souk, and the picturesque surround hills. There is a well sign-posted small trek that one can do in these hills, starting near the Incense Burner roundabout; from there, it is a short climb to the top of the hills, where there is a nice view of the Mutrah bay.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">I was fortunate to have a spare (weekend) morning, so I went up there to photograph the full Moon setting in the West. The weather slightly hazy, which added to the smooth early morning light. The X100T is incredibly easy to use; I mostly use it in aperture priority mode, sometimes in manual mode too. Together with a table tripod, I could shoot 5 and 6 second exposures during the \u201cblue hour\u201d before sunrise.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Later, I went for a walk in the beach, where hundreds of people gather at dusk to play football, and to relax with their families. Again, the little X100T was with me, allowing me to photograph in a discrete way. This camera provides a simple control layout, and delivers high quality images. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000; font-family: Calibri; font-size: medium;\">Even my teenage daughter commented on how \u201cnice it looks\u201d, so for sure Fujifilm are on to something\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-451\" style=\"width: 1776px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2017_0113_02304700.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-451\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2017_0113_02304700.jpg\" alt=\"Moonset over Mutrah\" width=\"1776\" height=\"1184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2017_0113_02304700.jpg 1776w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2017_0113_02304700-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/2017_0113_02304700-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1776px) 100vw, 1776px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Moonset over Mutrah<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_450\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-450\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_17_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-450 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_17_net.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_17_net.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_17_net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_17_net-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-450\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the beach #1<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_449\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-449\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_15_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-449\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_15_net.jpg\" alt=\"On the beach #2\" width=\"1200\" height=\"824\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_15_net.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_15_net-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_15_net-1024x703.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-449\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">On the beach #2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_448\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-448\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_6_net.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-448 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_6_net.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_6_net.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_6_net-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.paulobizarro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/muscat_13_1_17_6_net-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-448\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Incense Burner sunrise<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For my first post of 2017, I have chosen images taken during a recent trip to Muscat.
