All,
Thanks for all the responses. Especially for reminding me that the lens should have come with a hood. I went back to the lense box and I found the hood. I was so excited about the new camera and lens and did not bother to put the hood in the camera bag. Lesson learned the hard way.
Going forward I will use the hood on outdoor shots and will try to avoid shooting into the light.
As usual you all have been very helpful and generous with your time.
Thanks
Peri

Responding to orrie_smith's reply:
Check with fujinon, but a hood will not correct your problem, a hood will mostly help with sun flares, which your photo does not have. Your photo is simply overexposed. If your original photo is in the raw format,
adjust your exposure and it will clean up some of the problem, take out some haze, and it should be usable. In the future, if you have time (and I realize we do not always have that time element), wait until the
sun is not so harsh by shooting early morning or later in the evening.
Thanks for the response. I have the RAW + JPEG. I will use the RAW and try correcting this.
I still have one question. If the picture is overexposed, shouldn't the whole frame look the same? Why does it look hazy only on the upper right? What am I missing? (I am new to digital photography)

All,
Last month I was visiting in Cambodia while taking pictures of Ankgor Wat, and Bayon Temples found out the hard way the need for a lens hood. Most of my pictures were taken in sunlight and I have haze in the top right hand corner. (I have enclosed the Bayon Temple shot with haze on the upper right). I am trying to correct the haze using Lightroom.
Now I realize that I need a lens hood what should I look for in the hood. (The filter thread size is 67 mm).
Thanks for your help

Hello,
I found a legitimate copy of Lightroom 6 license key at $109.
It is a one time time fee. You get the key code mailed to you and you download the software from Adobe site and apply the license.
I was able to register and Adobe license server authenticated it and is fully supporting it.
Please try it

I do not have the XT-10 but have an XT-1. The main feature I like about Fuji eco system is the firmware support the firm provides. They do not stop firmware upgrades after one or two upgrades.
Every firmware upgrade makes it feel like you got a lot features for free. I believe other major camera manufactures are not so commmited to long term firmware support.

All,
Thank you all for the informative responses. I am amazed at the diversity of tools and the forum users awareness and knowledge.
After consideration and viewing few how to videos on YouTube I have decide to buy Lightroom 6 standalone version. Once familiar with it I will try the 30 day free trail of Exposure.
My main reason to choose Lightroom is the vendor viability over long term and the available of on line training. I would hate to learn some software and the find the software being abandoned by vendor or vendor going out of business.
I hope Adobe keeps the stand alone version of Lightroom going forward. I do not want to pay monthly for Creative Cloud. (I do not use it enough to justify a subscription)
Again thanks for all the responses and recommendations.

All,
I am a newbie to post processing and workflow. Never owned photoshop or Lightroom etc. Just bought Fujifilm XT-1 and re-learning photography after 20 year gap.
Saw a post few days ago about Alienskin Exposure as a possible replacement for Lightroom. Being not familiar with post processing and workflow am I better of with just buying and learning Alienskin exposure or start with Lightroom and learn it.
Any advice would be appreciated.

I have the XT-1 with 18-135. It feels a bit too bulky. You did the right thing by going for 18-55.
For the 35 mm lense one option is Amazon seems to have few used lenses from $380. Look into it. If you want a new one goto www.greentoe.com and post a price you are willing to pay for a new lense. Repeated dealers comeback with best prices they can give. If you match you buy at that price. I bought my XT-1 and lense using that site from a reputed dealer in New Jersy. You can try that also.
Good luck with the new purchase.

Hello,
I am Peri. I am getting back into photography after a long time. Started in college (in India) in late 70s with Yashica Electro 35/B&W film. Learned to develop, print contacts and enlargements. Was fun times. Never knew how a shot would turnout until you saw the print emerge in the dark room! Can you imagine that today?
Then life got in the way. Moved to US in early eighties and never had much time or money for photography. Still managed to get a Pentax K1000 and later my first digital camera Panasonic FZ-50. Used them only to record family events.
Now finally getting back in to Photography as a hobby. Ordered Fujifilm XT-1, Fujinon fx 18-135 mm and B+W clear filter.. Will be here next week. Planning to join a photo club near home and learn.
