Colour Intensity Syndrome

Colour intensity syndrome doesn’t exist as a term yet, unless I have just coined it by writing this.

Either way, what it means is that other people’s photos always look more colourful than my own.

I got it this morning from watching a video from Omar Gonzalez Photography, who was experimenting with an OM-3 camera and saying how colourful the photos looked.

So I grabbed my Fuji X-T50 and walked down the street, first passing a greengrocers and then a small disused graveyard next to a church, looking for colour.

Would my camera do the job or would I have to sell everything and get an OM-3?

OK, the Fuji passes muster. But that is just today. Tomorrow will bring another problem, and this syndrome is a never-ending problem that feeds on so much in this image-rich world.
