<p>Growing up my family was filled with carpenters, photographers and musicians. I had an interest for all of these careers yet cameras caught my eye as they just looked more interesting than tools and instruments. Something that can capture time seemed to outshine the rest. </p>

<p>On a recent photographic trip to Greenland. FujiFilm Switzerland loaned me the FujiFilm XT-1 and 3 lenses; XF 16-55mm/2.8; XF 50-140mm/2.8; XF 10-24mm/4.0. I was keen to test FujiFilm’s camera and lenses in the harsh <a target="_blank" href="http://www.anettemossbacher.com/arctic-wildlife-nature-and-landscape-photography/" rel="noopener">Arctic</a> conditions.</p>

<p>My name is Ben Cherry, I’m an environmental photojournalist and Fujifilm X-Photographer. I’ve been using the X Series for over three years now and was given the tremendous responsibility of being a part of the X-T2 project. Its predecessor, the X-T1, was a revelation for the X Series and was my go-to camera for the previous two years. With a huge viewfinder, weather sealing, 8 frames per second and an articulating screen, what wasn’t to like with the previous generation? </p>

<p>My normal way of travel is to have a camera backpack (filled to the brim) as my carry-on luggage.  Apart from all the camera gear, I also keep all the necessary extra things such as my battery chargers, my tablet and its docking station, a pair of socks and spare underpants in the backpack.  So why on this trip I decided – at the last moment – to move my pack with all the chargers, wires, etcetera to my normal bag is beyond me!</p>

<p>Golden hour has always been a firm favourite amongst phototographers, but placing the sun behind the subject generally opens up a wonderful world of golden hues and contrast yielding images.</p>

<p>Where to begin? I am still new at this and it has been quite an exciting journey so far! I am a fairly new photographer on a photography journey curious to see where I am going to end up.</p>
