Late descent into Barcelona, too late to catch the sunset but we were lucky to catch some colour between cloud layers.

 

Fujifilm X100T.

Really nice!

 

Must ask you this: (blame Fuji Rumors :P) Does it really matter if we switch all electronical equipment off at the take of and landing? And if so  - why?

 

Keep posting your interesting pics!

Cell phones looking for signal will interfere with our VHF communication, similar like holding a phone next to a loudspeaker. So that can be annoying.

 

Flight safe mode on smaller devices is allowed in our company, but only recently. Before that, we were required by law to make you switch them off. A big laptop during take off and landing is a security risk in case of evacuation, that's why you have to put it away. I think that in most cases, it's more a concern for lawyers and liability than actual risk, as are many other safety requirements (yellow fluorescent jackets everywhere anyone?) :)

Hi Tom,

 

Amazing pictures !! , I have almost the same office (a380) and my XT-1 and the 23mm most of the time.

 

Looking forward to seeing your pictures then :-) I tend to favour the 56mm, to avoid distortion and the dirt on the screens.

As a pilot can you clean your windows before the flight? I hate it that often the windows in a plane are so dirty that can't take decent pictures.

Normally technicians have to come and do it. You have to lean quite far out the window and it's a 5m drop if you slip... I do it myself sometimes if it's really bad and we have little time, but usually they are clean-ish enough to fly. That's why I prefer the 56mm, it allows me to pick a clean spot and shoot through it. The wider you go, the more distortion and dirt you see in the final image.

Thanks :-)

 

I did my time at an office job and a few weeks was enough to know it would never suit me. So I guess I'm lucky, yes ;-)

37,000 feet, stars & the earth, brilliant, not seen an image like that before, I am astonished the plane is so steady

 

David

Thanks! A plane is never truly steady. But take enough pictures and hopefully one will be kind of sharp if you squint ;-)

      XS10 and manual lenses

      By thelostkiwi · Posted

      All three of my bodies (X-E2, X-T4, GFX100S II) have shoot without lenses enabled and they have all had it set since I bought them.  No harm in it at all. Just remember to set the focal length when you fit a manual lens with no electronics otherwise the IBIS (if you have it) goes nuts. I regularly use vintage film lenses from Minolta, Zeiss, Mamiya, Rollei and others on my X mounts along with more modern manual focus stuff from TTArtisans. I also use Nikon AF-S lenses with a Fringer so the world is your oyster! Vintage lenses can be an absolute bargain too - For example the Zeiss 135 f/35 in M42 is as cheap as chips and very sharp as is the excellent Minolta 35-70 Macro (which is also rebadged Leica).

      Infrared Photography on X-E2 665nm

      By Neil Rosenberg · Posted

      I'm not exaggerating when I say that I have searched with great vigor (and at great expense) for a way to capture IR images with a Fujifilm camera for which I didn't have to use major amounts of sharpening to bring out the best. Zooms, primes, Fuji, Tamron, Viltrox, Sigma, Zeiss ... probably 20 lenses all told. Plus multiple IR converted Fuji cameras, X-T1, X-T3, X-T5. I even tried different ways of filtering IR, such as using the Kolari clip-ins and lens-mounted front filters. I was ready to give up until I almost accidentally tried one of the cheapest lenses out there -- the little TTArtisan 27mm F2.8. No hotspots that I could see, and best of all ABSOLUTELY SUPERB SHARPNESS across the entire frame. It's this attribute that I search for, and until now, never achieved. In my prior attempts, I listened to the advice from the "pundits", picking up a copy of the venerable Fuji 14mm F2.8, the Zeiss Touitt 12mm F2.8, Fuji 23 and 35mm F2.0, even the very similar 7Artisans 27mm F2.8, and none of them come even close to the TTArtisan for edge sharpness in infrared. Incidentally, I'm using a Kolari 720nm clip-in filter. Sure the TT has its issues -- vignetting at 2.8, tendency to flare with sunlight nearby, but all in all, this lens is glued to my X-T5 for now. This image was taken hand-held with this lens -- completely unedited!

      Screen is flipped with fan001

      By Tschortschli · Posted

      Hy there When Im using the fan001 on the XH2s and I flip the LCD Screen vertically by 180 degrees then the image flips vertically, what is good but it also flips horizontally. The clean feed on HDMI is not flipping horizontally but its also flipping if the HDMI output info display is on. When I unmount the fan then the image flips only vertically. My firmware is updated to the latest version. Any ideas if there is a fix for that?
