COOL IDEA for WEDDINGS (or any kind of Party): Set up a “Selfie” Photo Booth with Fuji X, Yongnuo speedlites + Printer!

Share

This could be a cool idea for your next X-wedding (or any kind of party): take a Fuji X (in this case the Fuji X-E2), 2x Yongnuo YN-560 MkIV speedlites, a Manfrotto BeFree Tripod, a Canon Selphy printer (or Fuji’s little SP-1 printer) and a few more things, and set up Photo Booth, where guests can take funny photos alone and print them on the spot.

You can read all the instructions at antonionunes. At the end, how did it turn out? antonionunes says:

“It was lots of fun. Guests really got into the fun and silly self-portrait thing, and the results were hilarious. Also, in the end, the Bride and Groom had this cute book full of happy shots and warm words, which is something I’m sure they’ll treasure.

The first feedback and suggestion comes from our Forum, where Mark G says at the Fuji X Wedding Photography Chat:

“If the client pays for the (mostly) outrageously expensive printing paper, it would be a great idea. That said, for photo booths, I’d prefer 1 cheap strobe… just easier than changing batteries on the hotshoe flashes.”

Speaking of weddings: those who follow FujiRumors on facebook and twitter already know that I live in an apartment over a courtyard of a wine tavern. There are weddings almost every weekend there and I still have to see an X-shooter as an official photographer (hey… are you out there??). It’s always Canon and Nikon… but I’m confident this will change in the next wedding season with the Fujifilm X-PRO2 :) .

Baltimore Riots: The story behind TIME’s iconic cover taken with a 16MP APS-C Fuji by Devin Allen!

Share

Back in May we reported how Devin Allen, an X-shooter living in Baltimore, photographed the protests and city life there and how one of his images made the cover of the TIME magazine. As to expect, the shot he took with his 16MP APS-C Fuji changed his life… and maybe Fujifilm should think to hire him as an offical Fuji X-Photographer, too.

Now you can read and see the story behind TIME’s iconic X-cover at the Flickr-Blog here.

XF90mm reviews: “It’s Ultrasharp! – You’ll fall in love all over again with the bokeh, sharpness and consistent performance!”

Share

 

XF90mmF2 WR
USA: AmazonUS / BHphoto / Adorama EU: AmazonDE / AmazonUK / AmazonFR / WexUK  / PCHstore / AUS: Camerapro

Here are some XF90mm reviews… and yes… this is indeed Fuji’s best lens so far. No matter who reviews it, everybody Highly Recommends it!

1) Fujifilm 90mm review at phoblographer:

“When it comes to pure image quality, it’s tough to beat a Fujifilm X-Trans Sensor and the company’s lenses. But the 90mm f2 is something that many have been dreaming of for a while. Of all the portrait lenses that we’ve tested for the system, it’s by far the best. Yes, there is an f1.2 lens out there, but it can’t compare to the pure image quality that the 90mm f2 renders in the best of situations. You’ll fall in love all over again with the bokeh, sharpness and consistent performance that gives you very little reason to do any sort of editing to the images right out of the camera.”

2) Review at findingrange:… here are some PROs and CONs

Fuji XF 90mm F2 LM WR Lens Pros:

  • Autofocus is reliable, fast and quiet.
  • Optically near perfect.
  • Superb image quality: simply some of the best I’ve seen from Fuji.
  • One of the sharpest lenses from Fuji.
  • Bokeh is some of the best I’ve seen.
  • At the list price, this lens is a steal – this is one of the best lenses that I’ve used so far.

Fuji XF 90mm F2 LM WR Lens Cons:

  • One of the largest primes in the Fuji X Series system.
  • Slight “clunk” noise when there’s no power to the XF 90mm.
  • No OIS.

3) Review at kenrockwell:

“The Fuji XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR is optically perfect. As shot on Fuji’s cameras which compensate for everything, it’s as perfect as I can measure. It’s ultrasharp and has no falloff or distortion at any setting, and is also made extremely well.”
