My Favourite Recipe For Black And White Photography

What do I mean by a recipe for Black and White photography? Fujifilm photographers should be familiar with the concept of recipes already. For everybody else, it is a combination of in-camera settings that allows, among other things, to recreate the effects of old analogue films. Something that Fujifilm is very passionate about, having created some of the most spectacular colour films in the good old years. Frankly, I don’t know if...

Fujifilm LUT Pack for OBS

Fujifilm LUT Pack for OBS

I created a Fujifilm LUT presets pack for OBS (or StreamLabs). You don’t know OBS? OK, Let me explain… As you know, I recently started live streaming on YouTube. And I have been testing a few apps to help me with that. Once I settle for one solution, I may enthusiastically write (or stream) about that particular one. But for now, I’m only going to briefly mention all I know. OBS (Open...

Prints for Sale! Finally!

Yes, prints are now on sale in my shop! You probably remember my post about what to expect from me this year (don’t worry if you don’t, here’s the link). So you know this was due. I started selling prints even before I established my photography business. The first time it happened, I had not planned for it at all. I posted my photo of the sunrise over the Haleakalā volcano in...

Astronomy calendar 2020. Back at hunting the Supermoon

The Astronomy Calendar 2020 makes a lot of sense in this blog. You might remember from previous posts or Instagram Stories that I’m obsessed with Sun and Moon. In fact, I already talked about my hunt for a Supermoon (and eclipse) here and here. When it comes to sunrise and sunset, there’s a bit of luck involved because you can hardly know if the colours in the sky will turn how you...

What to Expect This Year

So, what can you expect from me in 2020? If you follow me on Instagram (like you should, @fabienb) you may have noticed how I’ve gone quiet in December. This is often the case for me. This is the month I look back at all that happened during the year and then prepare for the new one. This time is also the start of the new decade. How exciting! With the Christmas...

Christmas gifts list (Evergreen!)

You didn’t really think you would not find a Christmas gifts list here, did you?Of course, I had to make one! I put together a list of a few items I own (or I have at least tried) and recommend. Maybe you saw my Black Friday list, where I didn’t go on trying to sell you just anything. So, if you trust me a little bit you know this is good stuff...

Black Friday 2019 (with a FREE gift from me)

Yes, it’s that time of the year: Black Friday 2019 is here! I have always found good deals for Black Friday (and Cyber Monday). I’m not a big spender, though: last year, I only purchased one item. But I spend (pun intended) quite some time looking at offers. This year I already purchased the upgrade to Nik Collection, probably my favourite plugin for Lightroom and Photoshop. And now I know I’ll be...

The books I read while travelling - Sep 2018

With a dozen flights, a few trains, several buses and some spare time at beaches, I had plenty of opportunities to read books during my trip, and there are definitely a few I’d like to recommend. Most of my reads these days are non-fiction, largely focused on life improvement, motivation and so on, and I find these books to be quite inspirational. As always with these books, you don’t necessarily need to...

Packing for a Month-Long Multi-City Trip: my Photography Kit

And so I’m packing for my month-long travel (longer, actually), and as always, the question is, “What do I bring with me?”. It wasn’t always the case, but now I’m used to travelling light—sometimes super light. But that’s for a week maximum, while this time, I’ll be away for at least a month. I think I’ve been smart in choosing to travel between countries that will have consistent weather all along; only...
