Picture of the Day: Swimmer


At Fujifilm X-Treme we endeavour to put the X-Series in some great situations to capture an image that stands out from the rest of the crowd.

 Today's picture of the day was taken by John Rourke of Adrenal Media on the Fujifilm X-T2 and XF16-55mm f2.8R WR.  

 Now the X-T2 and the lens might be weather resistant but we thought this might prove to be a step too far. So the camera was placed in an underwater housing to make sure it stayed nice and dry, which is more than John was during this shoot!

 John's image certainly highlights the versatility of the Fujifilm X Series.

A few weeks ago we caught up with one of the teams taking part in their first season of P1 for there preseason test in Musselburgh near Edinburgh ( CLICK HERE ). Father and daughter team Davie and Ashleigh Finlayson would be racing the ‘Spirit of Inverclyde’ sponsored P1 Panther boat for the four race series in Denmark, Scotland, Wales and England.   Round 1 was in Denmark and Fujifilm X-Treme went along to round 2 in Greenock on the Clyde estuary near Glasgow.

Picture of the Day: Speeding Aston Martin

Image
This shot by John Rourke of Adrenal Media is of the 2016 European Le Mans Series Championship winning Beechdean AMR Aston Martin Vantage. This was taken during a special photoshoot set up at the Italian race circuit at Imola, the Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in May 2016.  The car was actually moving slowly as the camera was set on the end of a 6 metre carbon fibre boom.   The long 10 second exposure used to capture the shot gives the impression of high speed from an angle that would be impossible to get if this was actually during a race.
