    Beginner Motorised Tripod Head for Time-lapse?

    Can anyone recommend a motorised tripod head that I can use for my time-lapse experiments, please? Ideally I'm after one that you can set the xy-plane rotation angle (ideally reasonably tuneable e.g. to the degree or say 5°), the angular speed and a timer (a max of at least 6hrs would be...

    Beginner Solar Filter – Partial Solar Eclipse (10 Jun 2021)

    Oh well, one tiny brief break in the cloud and I saw the sun through my solar viewing specs and I *think* I saw partial cover but TBH I can't be sure. British weather at its best :)

    Beginner Solar Filter – Partial Solar Eclipse (10 Jun 2021)

    Thank you Jannyfox for your comprehensive instructions. I think however the last bit has put me off as I'm not great with craft-y things/DIY and I don't fancy damaging my eyes.

    Beginner Solar Filter – Partial Solar Eclipse (10 Jun 2021)

    Can anyone recommend a solar filter for my 52mm dia Fujifilm X-A5 camera, please, for captuting the annular partial solar eclipse in a couple weeks' time? Tx

    Beginner Photography in Bad Weather

    If focusing is set at quite a distance droplets on the plastic tend not to be a problem (for time-lapse).

    Beginner Photography in Bad Weather

    I've taken to doing time-lapse landscapes which in practice means having the camera outside for 12 hours. This month in UK has been particularly wet and I'm worried about damaging the lens on my Fujifilm X-A5 (XC 15–45mm f3.5–5.7 OIS PZ), even though it has a lens hood attached. I shoot with...

    Nice pic. I like how the establishing foreground gives context and scale.

    Beginner Adapter for Fujica X-mount SLR Lens for Fujifilm X-A5 Mirroless Camera (X-mount)

    Embarrassing newbie error... I bought a second-hand Fujica/Fujinon X-mount SLR lens under the mistaken stooopid belief it would be compatible with the X-mount specification for the current range of Fujifilm mirrorless cameras, specifically the X-A5. The SLR lens is a 50 mm f/1.9 with a single...

    Beginner Kit Lenses and Basic Astrophotography

    Well done on your experiment! Hope to see more in due course. What shutter (bulb?) speed did you use? My photo in the 'First Attempt' share thread was at f/3.5 15mm (virtually the same as yours) ISO 200 for 20 secs - much less exposure/senstivity, I'm guessing, than your photo given your...

    Beginner Capture One Express – Importing Metadata (Tags)

    Newbie here... I started using Cyberlink PhotoDirector as my image asset manager, and obviosuly put in a lot of time tagging all photos I've taken. However, I want to move to Fujifilm's Capture One Express. Does anyone know if there's a way of moving the PD catalogue to C1E whilst ensuring...
