It’s Good to Be Home, Sorta…
Fuji X100 | 1/70 sec, f/2, ISO 800
It’s good to be home. A week is a long time to be without Philz coffee.
Nikon D700 + 50mm f/1.4G AFS
Besides my welcome home cup of Mocha Tesora, I was able to install Fuji’s newest firmware for my X100. Version 1.10 fixes a lot of bugs, and adds a few enhancements as well. So far I’ve seen a definite improvement in the look of the Velvia and Astia film simulation modes. Provia seems to look better too, but I need to test it a little more.
Now for the big bummer of our return:
Fuji X100 | 1/340 sec, f/6.4, ISO 400
Our first order of business on arrival was to take Suki here. It looks like her allergies flared up while we were gone and she ended up with some pretty serious skin inflammation on her tummy.
Fuji X100 | 1/680 sec, f/2.8, ISO 200
After having her examined, picking up some medication, and paying a heinous vet bill, we took Suki home, looking ultra-hip in with her not-so-stylish cone of shame.
Fuji X100 | 1/50 sec, f/2, ISO 3200
Unfortunately, Suki is pretty miserable right now. The inflammation is very painful and she’s under a great deal of stress. Really hate to see her like this, but I know she’ll recover soon.
Until then, it’s cone of shame for you, Suki! =P
awww. i hope suki gets better soon. cheer up suki!

She looks so unhappy in her cone…Hopefully she feels better soon. My poor pup has allergies too and he gets baths with oatmeal and eucalyptus, it seems to help, maybe it could help miss Suki too.

Welcome back! Sorry to hear about Suki; wishing her a speedy recovery.When I heard about the firmware update last Friday, I knew you’d be on top of that, haha. Looking forward to seeing more coverage of the improvements.

Aw man, great set of shots when you got back. Looks like the sun was still shining here too! But that really sucks for Suki. You could tell she was down in some of the shots you took of her. Hope she gets better soon!

Poor girlie! Seems many shibas get allergies.
Not sure how bad it is, or if you have already, but you may want to think about a dermatologist: https://www.acvd.org/locator/locator.asp Feel better soon Suki! <3
