I’m so excited to tell you that for the rest of this year, I’m taking photos with the new Fujifilm X-S10, which will be available very soon! One of the most pleasant surprises I’ve had is what the IBIS (in-body image stabilization) in this lightweight and compact camera allows me to do - I can lower the shutter speed a whole lot and still achieve non-blurry images without a tripod 😳😍 It’s been mind-blowing so far❣️
For this series, I wanted to keep the background from blurring, but I wished to blur the people passing by. Of course I wanted to shoot handheld to not attract too much attention to myself, although I normally need a tripod. Because it was 10:00 am, it was super bright outside - so I used an ND (neutral-density) filter to reduce the amount of light entering the lens. Without the filter, the shots would be overexposed. Here are the exposure times: 1️⃣ 1/15 sec at f/22, ISO 160 2️⃣ 1/60 sec at f/22, ISO 160 3️⃣ 1/8 sec at f/22, ISO 160
Usually, I shoot on a camera without IBIS, and it’s not possible for me to achieve sharp backgrounds in long exposure handheld shots. So I am thrilled to see that in these photos, at 1/15 and 1/8 sec, the background is not blurry 🥳
