The circus is something every child should experience, I still remember my first time to the circus many years ago. It’s a just magical.</p> <p>I decided to take my X-Pro with me to see how it would do in this low-light situation. I only used my 35mm lens and set the camera to Automatic so I   didn’t have to worry about my settings during the show.<br/><br/>The outcome is fantastic, the camera did really well. </p> <p><span></span>- - - - -<br/><span>All images: </span><a href="http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/tagged/xpro1" target="_blank">Fuji XPRO1</a><span> + Fujinon XF 35mm f/1.4 R</span><br/><span>RAWs processed in Lightroom 4 with </span><a href="http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/tagged/vsco" target="_blank">VSCO</a></p>http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/50033102103http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/50033102103Thu, 09 May 2013 22:28:00 +0200photographyfujifilmxpro1vscocircusfuji x<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/1d63b72811551300d1b681df43527b8c/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/acf7ef7d7dee209522b978b7afa9e126/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/537a6680b19ef6a030c6ff2028e6b861/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c44569862b508c3236c00fe59d205a05/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/96315abfe94e0557619e98675f320eac/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7ef7519052f63bf1a34a23517b2225af/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/ceeb2325010c65be44d0664f9e7b41f0/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/a1e27280e4fbfb99e275d4a34bd4d9c2/tumblr_mme6n6nbvX1r6auano8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>The 60mm in my backgarden..</strong></p> <p>.. because sometimes you don’t have to go far to see beauty.</p> <p>To me the Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 macro is a very special lens. Not the fastest of Fujinon, but when used in the right way it is super-sharp. When I got it I wondered whether I would really use it much, but the macro photos triggered me. And although t<span>he macro capabilities are limited to a maximum magnification of 1:2, it really creates another dimension in my work.</span></p> <p><span>After using it more (because Spring finally has arrived!), I really must admit I really love using it.  And, like all Fujinon lenses, the building quality is excellent (all metal). </span></p> <p>- - - - -<br/>All images: <a href="http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/tagged/xpro1" target="_blank">Fuji XPRO1</a> + Fujinon XF 60mm f/2.4 R macro<br/>RAWs processed in Lightroom 4 with <a href="http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/tagged/vsco" target="_blank">VSCO</a></p>http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/49792249185http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/49792249185Mon, 06 May 2013 21:40:00 +0200fuji xphotographyblogphotosets<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4fca3bcc96956bf6b269bc0ef461b1a5/tumblr_mm19r9A7Hy1r6auano5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/5f53c1fb37a07ab1beea8d53face7613/tumblr_mm19r9A7Hy1r6auano3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/606ab89d6ff89ae937bf085636048c17/tumblr_mm19r9A7Hy1r6auano1_r1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/758d8e6efa0280e9ee17c17597bb094d/tumblr_mm19r9A7Hy1r6auano4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><strong>Canons & Beer</strong></p> <p>We have got it all in ‘s-Hertogenbosch!  These are taken at the Zuidwal, the fortress side of this beautiful city.

A rather small but impressive forrest on an old estate with tall beech trees just across the river De Dommel but within a kilometer from my house.</p> <p>I knew there should be a grave somewhere on the estate, I’d never seen it but had read about it in a magazine. So one day I decided to look for it. And I found it, just a few meters from where I had been photographing many times before. The grave of a small child from one of the owners in the nineteenth century: baron Willem Arnold Alting Lamoraal van Geusau and his wife Sybilla Hendrina Wilhelmina.</p> <p><em>“Catherine Louise nee le 25 septembre, decedée le 23 octobre 1811”</em></p> <p>And just when I discovered the grave, the sun began to shine and light started pouring into the forrest giving me a magnificent view. I just stood there. Stood there and enjoyed the moment.</p> <p>The light touched a shelter just a few meters away, made by kids who play in this forrest and enjoy life. We don’t know why Catherine Louise was burried here, but it is a wonderful place for a child.. It’s a beautiful place where today’s kids play and laugh.</p> <p>These photos have been on my HD for a few months, until I remembered this day and knew the story of Catherine Louise had to be told.</p>http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/45693846527http://blog.robertpauljansen.com/post/45693846527Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:21:00 +0100photographyLitelyfujifilmSint-MichielsgestelzegenwerpStoriesfuji X
