How I started on Instagram
The other day, I saw somebody I follow on Instagram celebrating their “instaversary” (or however you name it). And it made me think about how I started on the platform myself. I am a compulsive early adopter of apps. I get very excited about everything new that seems novel and disruptive. So, I jumped on board the Instagram train very early. Some background It was 2009. I had just purchased my first...

London Fog Photos, February 2019
We just had 3 days in a row of morning fog here in London. It was all over Instagram as people were excited and filled their stories and feeds with London fog photos (#londonfog). Of course, I published a couple of stories myself on my IG (@fabienb). But I haven’t posted on my feed because most shots I took were wide landscape shots, and these look tiny in the app. Instead, I’m...

Going after the Super Snow Moon, the brightest moon of the year
In January, the Super Blood Wolf Moon was only half a success because the clouds arrived to “eclipse the eclipse”. That meant I needed to try this again with the new supermoon in February, the Super Snow Moon. What is a Supermoon anyway? You know that the moon follows an elliptical orbit around the Earth. Within this trajectory, the perigee is the closest point to our planet, and the apogee is the...

On the hunt for the Super Blood Wolf Moon

Such a dramatic name stands for a supermoon that happens at the same time as a lunar eclipse. Something quite rare: consider the next eclipse will be only visible in the UK in almost 11 years (maybe less?)! If you’re already googling the date to pin it to your calendar… Probably...

City Lights at Night, A Series [Instagram]
I decided to kick off 2019 with a new photographic series on Instagram, all about city lights at night. In London but not only.My feed was never too consistent, despite all the recommendations you hear about making it so. In an effort to achieve better consistency while retaining the diversity of my style, I thought I’d share my photos as a series. This way, a good amount of similar shots will appear...

The Gatwick fiasco
The Gatwick Fiasco. Or how the second largest and busiest airport in the UK couldn’t handle a drone alert and ruined the Christmas plans of 150.000 people. Including me. I’m sure you all heard what happened a few days ago. Alerts of drones flying near the airport runway caused a shutdown of all operations. Every flight on Wednesday got cancelled. Then, on Thursday, it happened again when I arrived at the airport....

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...
