Scenes from everyday life: India & Nepal

Recommended Posts

If I had to resume my travel to India and Nepal in one word, it would be intense... 

 

The purpose of the trip was simple: On one hand, I wanted to meet those amazing countries, discover their most beautiful places, and learn about their cultures. On the other hand, I wanted to carry out a personal photography project. Yes, I had been cooking a project in my mind for a couple of months: I wanted to take pictures of scenes from everyday life of local people.

 

The great photojournalist STEVE MCCURRY has been a great inspiration for me. I coincide with his perspective and style of shooting pictures. I like to observe unknowns walking on the streets while I am composing a photograph in my mind. I normally have a previous idea of what I want to do, so I just have to find the location of the right place, and then just wait for picturesque people to carry out my plan.

 

Before departing to Asia from Spain, I had to choose the photography gear for this trip. Fortunately, I was already aware about not taking too much weight as I would be backpacking Asia alone for a month, and believe me or not, when you are backpacking it’s very important to feel comfortable and agile. So I finally decided to pick up my two favorite Fuji lenses for traveling: the XF16MM F1.4 R WR and the XF35MM F1.4 R. Both lenses attached are my favorite combo to cover all the photography needs and face any photography challenge a long this trip. My camera is the FUJI XT-1, so I already knew that all my photography needs would be totally covered.

    • So I ended up getting and X-H2 over the X-T5 because of a good deal that came up.  Needing to buy a card, I needed to figure out,  what is the real impact of a card's speed for photos?   In particular, I'm going to test how shooting at 15 FPS will differ between: Angelbird - AV PRO CFexpress B SE - 512 GB and Angelbird AV PRO CFexpress SX - 160 GB. How many shots can I get off before buffer fills, and how long does it take for the buffer to clear?    MOP: X-H2 Factory rest, card formated, no lens (body cap on), performance boost on, manual exposure, mechanical SS @ 1/8000, IS off, Shoting RAW Compressed Lossless with only one card in. Held shutter release till buffer filled, and used stop watch to see how long for buffer to clear. Subtracted two frames from total taken as that's how long it takes me to release the trigger once the buffer is full. Repeat 2x for sanity check.   ***TEST RESULTS***   ~~~64GB Lexar Pro SD 150MB/s~~~ 75 shots to fill buffer, 36 Seconds to clear it   ~~~Angelbird AV Pro SX 160GB~~~ 251 shots to fill buffer, 5 Seconds to clear it   .~~~Angelbird AV Pro SE 512GB~~~ 232 shots to fill buffer, 4 Seconds to clear it     ***Conculsion***   If burst shooting an X-H2 at 15 FPS is your thing, buy the Anglebird 512GB SE for the same price as the 160GB SX.   Below is a shot on X-T2 w/ the Fuji 70-300. I manged to fluke it off with a dead battery by turning the camera off and on again, and squeezing three more shots out (this was the last shot).   Ta for now!

    • Xt5 firmware updated and now cannot see pics taken on lcd when pressing playback. Any ideas please? Elie
    • Have you tried a factory reset? Maybe you changed unintentionally a setting?
    • Hello. I have a x-s10 that I use multiple lenses with. Yesterday I noticed that with the Fujinon 16mm lens I'm having issues auto-focusing. It works on video but not for still images. When I half press the button it focuses a bit then when I release the button it snaps back to the previous focus point. Even though it manages to focus the image is still blurry. Any ideas please. I already did a a major google search and nobody has mentioned this issue. Thanks, Etienne
