Photowalking with FUJIFILM X-E3 in the old towns of Germany

Hi, it’s Takuya.

I’ve got back from our honeymoon in France and Germany. I visited multiple old cities in Germany. I hung out with my new camera with the following setup during the trip:

Body: FUJIFILM X-E3
Lens: XF56mmF1.2 R

As the lens is semitelephoto it was kind of hard to shoot meals and hotel rooms. But it let me take buildings very beautifully and solidly. Carrying it all day was heavy and my shoulder hurt. I hope my photos would be good examples of this camera setup, or would be helpful for planning your trip.

Towns I visited are:

Heidelberg
Würzburg
Nürnberg
München
Füssen

I stayed one night at each town.

My best of cities was Heidelberg!

The Roadmap of Inkdrop vol.6

Hi folks, it's Takuya here, the solo developer of Inkdrop. It's already been 4 years (!) since I last published a roadmap for Inkdrop here in 2020. Some items from that roadmap are still in progress—I haven’t given up on them—but I felt it’

Towards improving the conversion rate

Inkdrop's current conversion rate after signups looks like this: It doesn't look so bad, but the number of signups is low around 200-300, while the website is getting 5k unique visitors per month. So, the Visitor-to-Signup rate would be 4-6%. It sounds like average but it&
