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 ;-)

      gimbals (& threads getting spammed)

      By jshire · Posted

      Hi, I'm researching a gimbal to get someone as a present & they use a Fuji XS-10. I did a quick search of previous threads on gimbals but all of them seem to either get no replies or spammed by a link to an Amazon list. I'd appreciate any comments from folks who've actually used specific gimbals with the XS-10. I'm aware that some, such as certain models from Zhiyun, DJI & FeiyuTech either don't say that they are fully compatible with the XS-10 but other sites say they do work ok but some functions don't. It's quite difficult to work out which functions work & which don't. Thanks.

      A portrait with a 28mm lens

      By DavidJohn · Posted

      This was snapped during a lunch.  Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera.  Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs.  Available light, no posing.   This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement.  I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped.  I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens.  The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings.  And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion.  It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera).  Ideal for "portraits."  Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting.  The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.
