One owl stealing the rat from another. Shot with Fuji X-E2 and Jupiter 37A (135mm f/3.5) Soviet MF lens, deep in the woods at 3am. Fuzziness is due to the fact that I've forgotten that my YN560-III flash has a maximum duration at the maximum power, and that duration is looong. 
 
…Yes, you can easily get a camera shake shooting action with the flash in a pitch black darkness.
 

 
Bonus shot: the winner. Hoot!

Thank you all, I'm really happy that you like the images ! If you have any criticism do not hesitate to say so because this is how I learn the most.
 
 
I would never leave my tripod at home but this is a matter of the personal preferences/style. For example, I would not have been able to get the images of the aurora without tripod (IBIS does not help there). I also like to use ND filters during daytime which requires longer exposures. A tripod is of course a huge weight need to carry all your gear including tent, sleeping bag and food.

Yes, it was always off on the tripod. That's why my tripod images are mostly sharp. I had issues with handholding faster shutter speeds. When they were slower, where OIS is most effective, the images were usually sharp.
 
BTW: The primes never disappointed me.

Hi all,


I'm new to this forum and want to introduce myself with a few pictures. I am primarily a landscape photographer. Last year I was hiking for two weeks in a remote area in the north of Sweden: Sarek national park. My X-T1 accompanied me with three lenses (14-23-56) and tripod. In the following a few impressions. The image of the northern lights was not easy to frame without an optical viewfinder as the EVF was almost totally black.

Feel free to comment or ask questions.

The area I crossed is almost untouched by civilization which is very rare in Europe. There is no touristic infrastructure and no marked trails. This makes a hike in Sarek a special experience. Due to their low weight and high IQ the Fuji X cameras are perfectly suited for such an endeavor.
 
Let's continue:

Hi everybody!
 
During Christmas 2014, me and my girlfriend spent three weeks traveling through the northern half of Vietnam. The tour was (unsurprisingly) more or less: Hanoi --> Cat Ba --> Ninh Binh --> Hue --> Hoi An
 
I would consider myself more of a landscape photographer and I have definitely shot far better landscapes with my trusty X-T1 than on this trip. (Probably because I spent too much time enjoying the country and the incredibly delicious food...   ) However, I would like to start my first topic here with Vietnam anyway for a simple reason: This was the trip that made me finally switch completely from Nikon to Fuji, for reasons of weight, bulk and inconspicuousness.
 
So, expect a little bit of mediocre landscapes and some decent street shots. I anyway put it in this forum since the subjects are mostly typical travel-centered things. Hope you enjoy!
 
As a starter: One of my favourites from Hanoi's West Lake:
 

Hi there, this is Castel Fontana near Merano, Italy.

I would guess that low cloud is acceptable as fog ..... this was a nasty day with drizzle in the wind.
 
Used darktable to process this in a pseudo IR style. Been using darktable for many years ... only way to go!

Post here your images of landscapes in the fog. I'll start with mine:
