Fuji is not known for its flash system. The only reason I can use the Fujis for work is the Godox flash system that works very well with Fuji. I need wireless remote.
My main setup is a Fuji X-H2s and a Fuji X-PRO2 as backup. Then I use the Godox X1T-F as the master on the camera and a combination of Godox flashes with TT385 and TT685.
Both Godox and Nissin are coming with Fujifilm compatible flashes. But let’s agree that up to now, flash has not been a strong suit of Fujifilm X cameras.
Many people have problem with the flashes not working. The same happens in both TTL modes and manual modes.
This photographer is at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary and he uses a Canon 7D with Canon 500mmL /f4. It’s a great camera and an excellent lens but handheld? He doesn’t even kneel and support the lens with his knee/elbow. No dirt mark at the knees on his pants.
Imelda Marcos, the wife of Ferdinand Marcos, the ex-president of the Philippine, was famous for having a closet the size of a large bedroom with the walls having 1000s of pairs of shoes, costing millions of dollars.
These people belong to a photo club. They came to make photos of people rowing in False Creek, Vancouver, BC. There were 2 groups. This group was the ‘more bunched up’.
This photographer decided that he couldn’t take the time to set up and open his tripod. So he’s using his tripod as a monopod. It might work because he’s also leaning against the fence.
His tripod is an old aluminum Manfrotto tripod from the 1970s (meaning it’s very heavy). I have the same one, but without the foam around the legs. There is no model number on mine, but they look identical.
1 photo, 3 photographers, 3 cameras, and 3 “chimpers”:
The three of them are “chimping” at the same time and on the same photo. Chimping is checking every photo on the camera rear LCD immediately after taking the photo.
These Canon 600mm lenses, not only are expensive (an arm, a leg, and the next 2 generations of kids) but they are heavy. The lens, the camera, the tripod, the bag… we are talking about 35lbs/15kg.
I don’t like photographers, like this guy, that walk around with their tripod wide open. Everybody’s supposed to get out of their way. When the path is narrow, the bushes… and I’m supposed to get out of their way.
What every photographer needs is a very patient wife or a very patient partner that:
Notice how she also looks in the direction of the birds that her husband is trying to make photos off? She’s not looking at her watch or her phone or even a book/magazine.
This photographer was part of a Chinese tour group that came to Western Canada.
I spoke with the tour guide. It was a tour group that came for photographing the Eagles at the Harrison Flats (in BC, in the beginning of November). Then they were going to tour around the Rockies. Eventually, the group was driving down to Seattle and Los Angeles to fly back to China.
