I recently spent 17 days sailing around the South Pacific on Holland America Line\u2019s Maasdam<\/em>. Sailing from Brisbane, Australia, the itinerary comprised a scattering of islands of New Caledonia, Vanuatu and Fiji, before ending in Auckland, New Zealand. I took a Fujifilm X-T3 with a selection of lenses, to find out whether the system offered an ideal compromise between the image quality of full frame and the portability of Micro Four-Thirds.<\/p>\n

Beautiful as the port of call were, I found that the most interesting and challenging photographic subject was life on the ship itself. Cruiseships are like swans \u2013 beautiful and serene above the surface, but lots of activity down below. The Maasdam<\/em> has a crew of over 500, from over 25 countries, working round the clock. Some are visible \u2013 the deck officers; the waiters; bartenders and room stewards; the entertainment, casino and shop staff; the guest relations and excursions staff; the security staff; and, of course, the ship\u2019s photographers. There are many more who live and work below the waterline \u2013 in the engine room, the laundry, the galley. Plumbers, electricians, engineers, carpenters, cooks, tailors, upholsterers, florists and many more whose names and faces remain unknown but without whom the guests\u2019 enjoyment would be diminished and, in some cases, their safety compromised. This is their story.<\/p>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Fujifilm\t\t\t

Using the X-T3<\/h3>\n

I chose to shoot in black & white, using Fujifilm\u2019s excellent ACROS Film Simulation mode, which produces a much nicer tonality than the straight monochrome setting. One of the advantages of mirrorless when shooting mono is that you don\u2019t have to just imagine what your scene will look like in black & white, as you do with a DSLR \u2013 you see a b&w image in the EVF. Of course I was shooting in raw too so I could just use the ACROS mode as a shooting aid and reprocess my raw files later, using my own profile. But in reality the ACROS mode is so good I didn\u2019t think I could better it myself.<\/p>\n

I shot mostly in aperture priority or manual exposure mode, using auto ISO. It meant I could set the aperture and shutter combination I wanted, and let the camera take care of the exposure by adjusting the ISO, and with mirrorless cameras you can see in the viewfinder if the camera gets it wrong. The X-T3 never did. The images are so good even at ISO 6400 that I never had to worry about obtrusive noise. In ACROS mode noise resembles film grain and looks pleasing.<\/p>\n\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\"Fujifilm\t\t\t

Arriving in Noumea, New Caledonia. Fujifilm X-T3, XF55-200mmF3.5-4.8 R LM OIS: 1\/500sec f\/5.6, ISO 160<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n

The fast primes that I took really came into their own in the ship\u2019s low light. The X-T3 lacks in-body stabilisation and none of my primes had OIS, so I tried to keep the shutter speed above 1\/60sec, where possible, to reduce the risk of blur both from camera shake and subject movement, which meant I found myself shooting at wide apertures a lot of the time. One third of the black and white pictures were taken at f\/2 or wider, and another third were shot at ISO 6400 or higher. The resulting shallow depth of field helped separate the subjects from busy backgrounds \u2013 even when using the 16mm lens, which surprised me.<\/p>\n

The camera’s tilting touchscreen enabled me, when necessary, to shoot unobserved, from waist level, and select the focus point by tapping on it, and to make sense of a busy scene by holding the camera above my head with the screen tilted down. Generally the ambient noise ensured that the quiet shutter\u00a0 could not be heard, but on a couple of occasions I found the ability to switch to a completely silent electronic shutter very useful.<\/p>\n\n\t\t

Washing the ship. Fujifilm X-T3, XF16mmF1.4 R WR; 1\/300sec f\/5 ISO 160<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n\n

Overall the X-T3 is, to me, almost the perfect travel photographer\u2019s camera. Its only downside, for me, is the lack of stabilisation, either in the body or my favourite lenses. Although it wasn\u2019t a big issue on this project there were times that it would have been useful. It\u2019s the one thing I\u2019d like to see added to a future X-T4 – though not if it makes the body bigger. Maybe I\u2019m asking too much, but if Sony can do it…<\/p>\n

As for the lenses, the fast primes are just superb, and compared to their full frame counterparts they\u2019re very small. But if you\u2019re really counting every gram the f\/2 versions are much smaller still. With a gun to my head and forced to choose just three of them, I\u2019d probably go for the 16mm f\/1.4 and 56mm f\/1.2 primes, plus the 18-55mm f\/2.8-4 for when circumstances call for a zoom. I loved shooting portraits at wide-apertures with the 56mm f\/1.2 and the quality is fantastic. About 35% of the pictures in my favourites folder were taken with it. I like the combination of in-your-face perspective and shallow depth of field that you can get from shooting wide open at close range with the 16mm f\/1.4 lens. The 18-55mm f\/2.8-4 is a great walkabout lens. I didn\u2019t feel like I was compromising much in quality with this lens, despite its modest size, and I gained a lot in convenience.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
