The Church of St. Michael and St. Lawrence Fewston bells

Working on a video project for the Washburn Heritage Centre recently, the client asked if we could take some photos of the church bells for a graphic panel.

We'd not packed any still photography gear, but I happened to have my Fuji X-Pro1 with me, I'd chucked it in last minute, thinking I might get a few autumnal photos if the weather and opportunity arrived.

The bell tower in the church is small and gets smaller at the top, Its also packed full of bells.
I used the X-Pro1 with the Fujinon 14mm (equiv Full Frame 21mm) but really I could have done with something a bit wider, maybe around 12 - 15mm on full frame. I used a tripod and cable release, manual focussing using focus peaking.

  1. Yes, these shots work well. I think the colour ones have the edge, particularly the last one. I think a slightly wider angle of view - 12mm on FF - would be required. Now, who do I know that has a 12mm M-fit lens? :-)
