John Frum Complexity Festival 2018

Complexity festival at Patronaat Haarlem

At the Complexity festival at Patronaat Haarlem I was not on duty. So I had a change to challenge myself. I went to the festival with two Fuji cameras with manual lenses. Yes even manual focus.

  • Helios 44M f/2
  • Samyang 8mm f/2.8 Fisheye II

Wow that was pretty hard working at my day off.
It is very difficult to see at the viewfinder if you are in focus. I’ve tried focus Peaking, but the white or red lines weren’t very notable. Using the Digital Split Image you had to zoom in for the best check. So this option wasn’t the best one neither, because they weren’t standing still 🙂

So some times I had  to estimate the distance or just checking the sharpness by eye.

It was a lot of fun to shoot manual.

Photographing dance using a FujiFilm

Sometimes I have the opportunity to take photos at a dance performance.
Photographing dance is like Sports Photography at very low lights. An other side issue, depending on how loud the music is and if your placed between seated audience, you have to operate unnoticed.
I have photographed some Flamenco Dance and Classical Indian Dance. The big challenge is, just like Sports, timing. Movement, motions are very precise. Sometimes the Burst mode is very handy to shoot with. But this could be very annoying for the people next tot you or even the dancers. Shooting Raw could made your camera slow when shooting Bulk mode.
For this kind of occasions I use my Fuji X-e2 with the Fujinon XF 50-140mmF2.8 R LM OIS WR and the Fujinon XF 16-55mm f/2.8. With the latest firmware update of the X-e2 you can select electronic Shutter. I also photographed in jpg, and I was very surprised by the results of it. I do not know very well the different between Jpg Normal and Fine.

Buzz Osborne

the Melvins at Incubate Festival

the Melvins

2015 Incubate festival Tilburg.

The Melvins are an American band that formed in 1983. They usually perform as a trio, but in recent years have performed as a four piece with two drummers. Since 1984, singer and guitarist Buzz Osborne (also known as King Buzzo) and drummer Dale Crover have been the band’s ongoing members. The band was named after a supervisor at a Thriftway in Montesano, Washington, where Osborne also worked as a clerk. “Melvin” was despised by other employees, and the band’s members felt it to be an appropriately ridiculous name
