GFX Owners Workshop in Swedish Lapland

Yes, it’s happening… we are about to reach the 15,000 Fujifilm GFX facebook members, a group full of talented photographers, Fujifilm X-photographers, Fujifilm managers, and even stars like musician and artist Seal Samuel (a long time Leica shooter, who now bought the Fujifilm GFX).

Mat Richardson is one of the talented group members, a professional photographer for over 20 years, and of course a GFX shooter now. He also has a long experience with carrying out workshops in the deep North of Europe.

Well, Mat decided to run a workshop in the Swedish Lapland, dedicated to Fujifilm GFX owners.

And those of you, who are both,

  1. part of the Fujifilm GFX facebook group
  2. owners of a Fujifilm GFX

… will also get a significant €400 discount compared to the normal workshop rate.

Sounds good? Then check out the main details below and for any question contact mjr@matrichardson.com and check out Mat’s workshop page here.

Details

Swedish Lapland is an amazing location, wild landscapes, incredible rivers and waterfalls, 24hr daylight in the summer and extreme temperatures in the winter, plus lots of snow and ice and even Northern Lights!

We run workshops here because this is where we live and work and we offer the opportunity for workshop participants to experience everything the area has to offer.

We do things a little differently here, as professional commercial photographers, we have a fully equipped studio and print setup on site, this gives us a unique environment for people to learn about post processing and printing after a day’s shoot as well as experience portrait and product photography in a working studio setup with a large strobe lighting kit.

On top of all this, we are Fujifilm GFX users, this means we have a professional view of how these cameras work in a wide variety of situations allowing us to share our knowledge and help you get the most from your camera.

We offer 1 to 1 and small group workshops up to a maximum of 4 people. Accommodation is on site and we take care of everything from picking you up at the main airport 1 hour away, to meals and training. All workshops are flexible and can be tailored to your needs from beginners to experienced professionals.

Workshops are run regularly and we have put aside a number of workshops exclusively for GFX owners, allowing us to concentrate on the camera and it’s incredible abilities with like minded others.

Workshop dates for GFX owners in 2018 are ..

Winter workshop for the brave! Extreme weather and incredible environment for photography, coincides with the famous Jokkmokk winter market with the opportunity to see the indigenous Sami people and their reindeer.

January 30th to February the 3rd 2018

Spring workshop to experience the emerging of the landscape from the deep winter, an incredible time of year as the sun returns

Monday 7th May to Friday 11th May 2018

Autumn workshop as the days start to get shorter, the birch trees turn an amazing golden colour and the days are crisp and cold.

Monday 24th September to Friday 28th September 2018

All three of these weeks are exclusive to GFX owners and are discounted from the normal workshop rate of 2,300 Euros to 1,900 Euros per person.

Prices exclude flights to Lulea, Sweden, personal snacks and drinks as well as alcoholic drinks.

Practical Guide on How To Choose Best Travel Tripod :: 5 Things That Make a Tip Top Tripod :: Top New Carbon Tripod for $120

Sirui T-025X, one of the best travel tripods according to the FujiRumors community

Tripod

I recently made shameless use of FujiRumors (and your time) for a personal carbon fiber travel tripod help request. Your feedback in the comments was terrific, and as the true review-holic I am, I had lots of work to do to compare your suggestions.

But just when I was about to push the checkout button for the highly recommended Sirui T-025x, Benro suddenly announced the brand new Benro TSL08CN00, a carbon fiber tripod designed for mirrorless cameras (and small DSLRs) and even more affordable than the Sirui T-025x. Folded, though, the Benro might be still too big for traveling purposes, so at the end, it will be the Sirui for me.

If you are also wondering which is the best tripod for your needs, here is a dedicated roundup with a few more useful links you should check out and that might help you to make your tripod decision.

Fujifilm X-E3 Wrap-Up And Mock-Up!

Share

The Fujifilm X-E3 will very likely be launched on September 7 at Fuji’s “Fujkina” event in Toyko, and probably along with other Fuji gear.

In order to manage his impatience, FR-reader Miko created his own mock-up of the Fujifilm X-E3, based on the X-E3 rumors and leaked images, which I’m happy to share today here on Fujirumors. Centered hot shoe, shutter/ISO dial combo, front dial, AF-assist light moved higher, no pop up flash… and ♥ super-sexy ♥ :)

I’m here… back from holidays, and 100% focused on the rumors and announcements (on September 7). Hope you will stick around on FujiRumors… and feel free to follow Fujirumors on Facebook, RSS-feed, Twitter.

And now, time for an overview of rumored X-E3 specs:

Obvious Fujifilm X-E3 specs

  • 24MP X-Trans III sensor
  • X-Processor Pro
  • Acros film simulation

Not Rumored, but Possible X-E3 specs

IBIS, really?

In the comments and at our facebook page, there was some confusion. People thought FR has said the X-E3 will have IBIS. Well, although I actually realize that no source explicitly told me that it will NOT have IBIS, I feel quite confident to say that the X-E3 won’t have IBIS. So, although not rumored by FR-sources, I say….

  • no IBIS

I guess all the confusion comes from the following rumors

  • Fujifilm X-T2 Successor to be Called Fujifilm X-T2S – read here
  • Fujifilm X-T2S will have IBIS (In Body Image Stabilization) – read here
  • Don’t Worry, Fujifilm X-T2S In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS) will Work with ALL Fujinon X-Mount Lenses – read here
