Fujifilm released another Damien Lovegrove video today explaining how to shoot with and against the sun using a Fujifilm X-Pro 2 and Fujinon XF 50-140mm F2.8 R LM OIS WR. These videos are useful for people new to photography, but I wish they would switch up the photographers a bit.

Capturing The Milky Way

_DSF3631
Saturday night, I drove over 100 miles into the heart of the Everglades to get away from light pollution and attempt shooting the Milky Way for the first time after years of considering the possibilities. I learned some valuable lessons from my attempt that are worth sharing, since many of the articles I have read while thinking about this task have glossed over them in favor of serving up eye candy and image manipulation techniques.

Fantastic Fujifilm Astrophotography

PearlyBeachAtNight-post

I have been gearing up to do an astrophotography shoot during the new moon for a little over a month now, but it can be hard to accomplish in South Florida, due to light pollution. While researching the shoot I came across some amazing work with the X-Pro 2 that I would like to share. Florian shot the above image using his Fujifilm X-Pro 2 and Fujinon XF16mm. Hopefully, I can manage an image a fraction as stunning as Florian’s Saturday night in the everglades with my Fujinon XF16mm, Fujinon XF10-24, Samyang 8mm Fisheye and Fujifilm X-Pro 2. You can read more about Florian’s methodology on his site, where he provides a useful tutorial for aspiring astrophotographers utilizing Hugin panorama to produce images like the one above.
