London based photographer Sathya Parthasarathi is aspiring to travel to every corner of the world and wants to inspire others to do the same. Having been taking pictures since the age of 9 but last year travel photography became his passion. He recently visited Morocco, and we wanted to find out more about his trip and the photos he captured.
Most of the time, this is all the set up I need. But I have had the pleasure of using XFmmF4. What were your plans for Morocco and what was your must-take Fujifilm kit?
Morocco has been a dream destination for over 8 years now so when the trip came together this summer, my wife and I were over the moon. We wanted to make the most of the trip; so we decided to spend a couple of weeks and go around the country as much as we can. One of my photography goals for this trip was to capture the country at it most beautiful moments; and I am quite pleased with the outcome.
I had my usual kit along with a XFmmF2. I wanted a zoom lens to capture the adventure in streets, the layers of Moroccan towns and also gain access to places that are otherwise too far away; oasis towns, the sun and the moon.
I prefer fixed aperture zoom lenses for obvious reasons and the XFmm did not disappoint. It is a well-built lens with excellent focus and renders sharp images end-to-end. I found it easy to use on my X-T2 without a battery grip. The focus ring has a bite to it which I found quite useful in finding the perfect focus. This lens certainly played a big part in achieving what I wanted to capture in Morocco.
