SUMMARY
Photographer Josh Edgoose documented a rare eclipse event attended by 10,000 people using only a Fuji X-T5 and a 16-55mm f/2.8 lens. He adapted to the unpredictable crowd and lighting by relying on physical movement, such as crouching and pivoting, to achieve clean compositions. The versatile zoom lens allowed him to adjust his framing from wide to telephoto without changing lenses. Edgoose also noted the experience of being physically present with others, finding a quiet counterpoint to the digital noise of online content.
