If you have explored this blog, you may have encountered a few posts about photographing a supermoon. Like the Blood Wolf Moon or the Pink one. Even a recording of a Clubhouse talk among passionate moon-chasers. There is a lot I like about photographing a supermoon. From the excitement of waiting for the day to come to the hours spent to find and scout a location, determine a good alignment, wait for...

Packing for a photography trip is never easy. It may be more straightforward if it's only for a weekend rather than a few months. But it's still a matter of making the right choices. Now it's the Summer holidays season and I'm doing lots of packing and unpacking myself. For example, this weekend is a bank holiday here in the UK, and I'll be visiting places. So, I thought it would be...

I had written a different article introducing you to the new generative AI technologies soon to be integrated into Luminar Neo. But then I thought about having that digested by AI to see if I could rephrase some long or overtechnical sentences. And you know what? The result may be totally different from what I would write on these pages, but I found it quite funny. So I'm keeping the AI version,...

I have been thinking about creating a 1 gigapixel photo for a while. It's not an entirely new concept to me. About 15 years ago, in Florence, with a company called Centrica (not the energy firm), we turned the masterpieces of the Uffizi gallery into digital at an incredibly high resolution. For example, we took dozens of shots of Botticelli's Venere and then stitched them together to create this gigapixel photo that...

And I have been creating and sharing content about Artificial Intelligence on YouTube , TikTok, and here on my blog. Even finally created a separate Instagram account for my AI creations. Despite some controversy and scepticism in the...

Yes, you have come to the right place to learn the secret to consistently obtaining great photos with Midjourney. It's all thanks to a proven ChatGPT formula. So it's AI creating AI—with the help of a human Photographer, that is. If you want only the formula, it's further down on this page. But if you have the time and want to understand what's behind this “secret sauce,” I recommend reading the whole...

I had the opportunity to use the new Fujifilm XF 8mm F/3.5 the day it was announced—almost out of the blue. I asked one of my contacts at Fujifilm if they had the 8-16mm lens at hand because I needed an ultra-wide angle lens to photograph an apartment for Airbnb. The spaces were a bit restrictive, so I wanted the widest non-fisheye lens in the Fujifilm range. Luckily, a magazine reviewer had...

A few weeks ago, Ulanzi sent me their new X-Aircross F38 travel tripod for video creators to review. When I created my channel, my goal was not to do gear reviews. But these seem to have become popular and get good engagement, so I have made a few of them. They are all available here on the blog as well, and companies have noticed. As per my other reviews (mostly lenses and...

So I went to see my grandparents during Easter to help them tidy up the garage. As it happens, we found a shoebox full of old photos, which made for an entertaining trip down memory lane ;) A large document of the punk life in Manchester, UK, in the 1980s… This is how the story of this series of images could be told. In reality, I created the Manchester Punks series with...

You can now find my AI content at fabienb.ai on Instagram . I have had my Instagram account @fabienb since the platform launch in 2010, and I always refused to create and manage a separate account. Mainly because it would have been too much work. Even if I was publishing diverse content like travel, portrait or street photography, my main account still represented my work as a photographer. So it made sense...
