Default Fuji X20 does the Pigeon Point Lighthouse

I've been so busy shooting the last few days, both at Pigeon Point last Thursday with the RX100 and XP1, and the vintage car races with the Canon 1Dx, I haven't had time to look at the images I took at Pigeon Point with the X20.

Today over lunch I worked up one of the images...I think it came out rather nicely.

Something about that Fuji color that is just magical....

Stephen.......Such a classic angle of the lighthouse and a very attractive photo. I use to live in Half Moon Bay in the early 70's and traveled the coast highway to Santa Cruz many times. I have stopped at the Pigeon Point Lighthouse several times. It is the tallest lighthouse on the West Coast. Thanks for posting your photograph. It brought back some pleasant memories.

Stephen, what's your usual setting for the Fuji cams? Do you dial in any EV or use manual WB?

Tommy,
I use auto white balance on both Fujis as the Fuji's AWB is so accurate (more accurate than any other camera I've ever used), and more accurate than any of the specific color temp settings. I dial in some EV sometimes depending on the shooting situation (e.g. shooting backlit or in shadow areas), but usually the Exp Comp is on Zero.
