A visit to the Cohoes waterfall in Cohoes, NY on a beautiful Saturday in mid-October is a great opportunity to try the new Fuji X100s. The autumn colors were not yet at peak, but nonetheless the blue skies and Fall colors made for some nice viewing. Above is a panorama taken from a lower platform straight from the Fuji X100s. Overall, I am impressed with this camera!

Above is a photo of the Cohoes Waterfall taken from a lower observation deck. Slight post-processing of the RAW image in Adobe Lightroom 5 was used here. Mostly use of a gradient filter for the sky and slight tweaks to color. I've found small adjustments to the Camera Calibration RGB and Shadow is required to really get the RAW images to pop.

An HDR image of the Cohoes Waterfall from an upper observation deck. I used three exposures to make the HDR image in Nik's HDR Efex Pro 2. No processing of the RAW files in Adobe Lightroom prior to HDR conversion.

This is a good example of the Camera Effects calibration. The RAW image was flat and dull. Small color adjustments to the RGB really worked wonders here.

The above image is of the pedestrian access bridge to the observation decks and trail. Converted to Black & White in Adobe Lightroom 5.  

Ornamental grass along the trail to one of the upper observation decks. I used the ND filter on the Fuji X100s to take this photo given the bright sunlight. 

This was the first time I brought the Fuji X100s out with the purpose of taking photos. Overall, I'm impressed. The out-of-camera JPEGs are quite nice, but so far I prefer the RAW and minor adjustments in Adobe Lightroom.
