As a photojournalist during the film era as well, to get 360 shots required a brick of 10 rolls of 36 exposures or a brick and a half of 24 exposure rolls. At the end of the roll, one stopped shooting, rewound the film back into the cassette, assuming 35mm, opened the back and removed it, then opened the box with the next roll, removed it from its canister, threaded it to the take-up spool, closed the back and advanced to the first frame, watching to make sure the rewind knob turned indicating that the film was properly moving through the camera. 
 
Now it takes about 20 seconds to switch to a fresh battery and that only happens about once in 360 shot. Compared to 10 or 15 very bulky rolls of film, it is tiny. Covering sports, if there was a pause one took advantage of it to swap in a fresh roll even if the previous one was not finished. Covering NASCAR I often turned in many short rolls in order to have the maximum exposures available for the big wreck.

Larry, that's an interesting input. And of course photographers would always have a second body loaded and ready, when shooting at that rate.
 
Noting your location, here's an aside that may amuse: in the late 70's, I was working in a photographic retail store in Edmonton Centre. Very low humidity and lots of nylon carpet in the store, so static shocks were frequent.
 
These shocks killed three brand new Pentax ME's just from being picked up from the display cabinet before we figured out what was going on; on one occasion (you learned to hold a key between your forefingers), just touching the cash register triggered it to ring up a $100,000 sale and open the drawer.
 
But the weirdest thing (and one I'll take some credit for solving) was when a couple of photographers that I knew who were shooting for the Edmonton Journal kept encountering 'lightning strikes' across their negatives. This turned out to be caused by the automatic rewind in their Nikon's zipping the film back into the cassette so fast that it generated static shocks from the plastic film base passing through the 35mm canister's light blocking flocking (could not resist that) so quickly.

Hello,
 
We continue with another shot taken with the x-pro2.
 
I spend the night under tent near the Alpe di Siusi and decided to do something different as all the other photographers are doing (classical view with the Sassolungo at the end of the alpe in background).
lucky as I was, the first snow over Dolomites was falling.
It was quiet a cold and windy night and didn't sleep well ... but was happy enough that my composition found in a Heavy fog the day before (without seeing the mountains at all) was worth and working.

Have a nice day.

I recently visited Northumberland in the North East of the UK. I took the Fuji X-T2 with 18-135mm and 10-24mm to the beach at dawn.

Putting the new Fuji XF 16 1.4 to use. Love this lens, just what I needed for when the X100T doesn't give me the wide angle I need.
 
Both shot with the X-T1, 16 1.4, manual speedlights via 60x60 softbox.
