Satu tahun di TikTok

Tidak terasa, awal April ini genap satu tahun saya lumayan rutin posting di TikTok.

Sejauh ini pengalamannya cukup menarik. Rata-rata konten saya memang tidak banyak yang menonton; mayoritas hanya mentok di ratusan view. Tapi ya, ratusan view tetap saja jauh lebih banyak daripada pembaca blog saya ini haha.

Kalau TikTok menganggap sebuah post cukup menarik, jangkauannya memang bisa tiba-tiba viral. Hanya saja, saya merasa kriterianya sulit ditebak.

Selama satu tahun ini, ada satu post yang sendirian menyumbang sekitar 40% dari total views yang saya terima.

I recently received an old digital Fujifilm camera from my sister. It’s the Fujifilm X-M1. The camera is in a very good condition, aside from the LCD, which already has vignetting and color cast. It’s still ok for composing, but I can’t rely on it anymore to judge colors.

Filter comparison: Tiffen Glimmerglass 1 vs Freewell CPL/GMIST (1/4)

Not too long after I got my hands on a Fujifilm X100VI camera, I bought a Tiffen Glimmerglass 1 for it; and it has stayed installed pretty much all the time.

Recently I was made aware of a new filter/lens hood combo from Freewell. The filter is a CPL and mist filter combined into one.

A very compelling combo.

In this post I simply want to share some comparison photos taken with the two filters.
