Mid November: Christmas Light Switch-On Nighttime Street Photography As the festive season begins, towns and cities across the country light up for the first time, a moment worth flagging for a spot of street photography. Christmas light switch- on events combine bright illuminations, lively crowds and plenty of atmosphere, a perfect opportunity to explore the creative side of low-light image making. While the illuminations will be the main attraction for most attendees, you can leverage a wide aperture to turn the freshly lit-up surroundings into a background littered with soft, glowing bokeh balls. For nighttime street photography, a fast-aperture lens offers a real helping hand, so you can make the most of available light while keeping ISO values manageable and shutter speeds down. The FUJIFILM X Series has a wide choice of fast primes that excel in these conditions, and auto ISO can be particularly useful when working in unpredictable light.

15 November: Steve Irwin Day Wildlife Photography
Honouring the birthday of one of Irwin’s favourite animals (a tortoise from the Galápagos Islands named Harriet), Steve Irwin Day is an annual event that celebrates the famous conservationist’s legacy – and offers an exciting chance to explore your wild side. While there aren’t many crocodiles to wrestle in the UK (not that we’d recommend such an activity), there’s still no shortage of fascinating wildlife to seek out and photograph in its natural habitat. Something that’ll always help to bring your photography closer to the action is a longer lens – there are no shortage of options in the Fujinon line-up. Though whatever your equipment, the thing that makes a successful wildlife photographer is patience. Blending speed with power, the FUJIFILM X-H2S is perfectly suited for wildlife photography and enables an incredibly quick level of performance thanks to its stacked sensor. And for the ultimate range, the FUJINON XF150-600mmF5.6-8 R LM OIS WR helps you make a close connection with your subjects, as well as providing all the coverage needed for a day in the field.
