Awesome Super Blue Blood Moon photos and the tech that captured it
A photo opp that comes only once in a blue moon
We previously wrote about the Super Blue Blood Moon and how you could best capture it. Now that the once in a lifetime event had passed, the best way to relive it is through photos and videos.
I picked out my favorite ones from social media and asked the people behind the cameras what they shot with and the settings that produced such awesome images.
Without further ado:
“Blood Moon Blend”
The next three photos were shot by Wilson Wong from Singapore. 
For this photo, a combination of two shots were stitched together on Photoshop.
Camera: Nikon D500, Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 lens
Settings:
Exposure for stadium: 0.4 sec, f/11, ISO 800, 150mm
Exposure for moon: 1/30 sec, f/11, ISO 200
“Blood Moon Red”

Camera: Nikon D500, Sigma 150-500mm f/5-6.3 lens
Settings: 0.4 sec, f/8, ISO 1600
“Blood Moon Mobile”

According to Wong, the Mate 10 Pro’s night mode slowly exposed the frame and took multiple shots with various exposure settings. Ther were then combined to achieve that HDR effect.
Camera: Huawei Mate 10 Pro
Mode: Night mode with a tripod

When the universe conspires…

Photo and quote from Paul Quiambao
Caption: When the universe conspires, a once in a lifetime astronomical phenomenon happens. The Super Blue Blood Moon perfectly aligns with the Mayon Volcano eruption as it continues to produce lava during the lunar eclipse at 9:46pm on January 31.
Camera: Sony A7 II, 17-40mm Canon lens
Settings: 30 sec, f/4, ISO 1250
The beauty of imperfection

Caption: Super Blue Blood Moon, when the lunar eclipse occurs during a blue moon and a supermoon. It’s a rare event and the last time these three lunar events happened at the same time was in 1982. The moving effect? No, it wasn’t the moon moving fast. The camera equipped with a heavy 400mm lens (2x200mm) slid off the tripod. Ahh… the beauty of imperfection.
Camera: Canon EOS 5D
Settings: f/2.8, 200mm with 2X teleconverter
“… the moon and the stars in the sky”

Photo by Aaron Palabyab
Camera: Fujifilm X-T1
Settings: 1 sec, f/16, ISO 1600, 135mm
And for the finale, a quick time lapse crafted from 983 shots with apertures of f/6.3-11, between 1/5-1/8 seconds shutter, and ISO 800-3200.

Fujifilm Philippines introduces instax Mini Evo Cinema, Mini Link+
It’s time to enter your film+ era and hold onto your favorite moments
The digital scroll is fine, but Fujifilm Philippines is making a strong case for the tangible.
For a weekend, the Open House World in Makati transformed into a nostalgic playground for the “In Our Film+ Era” pop-up.
The mission was simple: proving that memories feel better when you can actually hold them.
The stars of the show were the new instax Mini Evo Cinema and the instax Mini Link+, two gadgets designed for the artsy geek who wants their life to look as good on paper as it does on a Pinterest board.
Retro meets technology
The instax Mini Evo Cinema, priced at PhP 22,599, is a total vibe-shifter. With its 10 Eras Dial effects, you can toggle through a hundred different creative combinations.
Then there is the instax Mini Link+ for PhP 8,999, built for the maximalists who refuse to let their best shots die in the camera roll.
This smartphone printer adds AR effects and custom designs, turning digital snapshots into high-aesthetic physical keepsakes.
As Masahiro Uehara, President of FUJIFILM Philippines, put it, the goal is to reimagine how people connect with their memories by blending innovation with raw emotion.
More than just a photo op
The weekend functioned as a masterclass in creativity rather than just a product demo.
On the first day, filmmaker Elyandre Dagli showed the crowd how the Mini Evo works as a powerhouse for documentation and storytelling.
The energy continued the next day with Nica Cosio, who led a session on rubber stamp carving and journaling. Cosio showed how the Mini Link+ bridges the gap between digital tech and old-school scrapbooking.
Artists like Soleil Ignacio, Bryan Sochayseng, and Jill Arteche also dropped by to share how these tools fit into their professional creative workflows, proving that “instant” doesn’t have to mean disposable.
Ready to enter your Film+ era?
If you missed the pop-up, you haven’t missed the tech. The instax Mini Evo Cinema and instax Mini Link+ are officially hitting authorized FUJIFILM dealers nationwide right now.
It’s time to stop scrolling and start collecting.
For the latest updates, you can follow Team Instax on Facebook and Instagram.

DJI’s Inspire 3 Basic Package make 8K aerial filmmaking more accessible
A streamlined kit for independent filmmakers!
DJI has officially introduced the Inspire 3 Basic Package, a streamlined kit designed to lower the barrier of entry for professional aerial cinematography.
Since its debut in 2023, the Inspire 3 has established itself as the primary choice for studio film and television productions.
This new package provides a cost-effective path for independent filmmakers to integrate 8K aerial imaging into their workflow or for production houses to scale their existing fleet.
Cinema-grade performance in a portable form factor
The Inspire 3 remains a revolutionary all-in-one drone, built to handle the rigorous demands of high-end sets.
At the core of the package is the Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera, which features dual native ISO and more than 14 stops of dynamic range.
These specifications translate to high-fidelity footage that retains authentic colors and accurate skin tones, even when filming in challenging urban environments or varying lighting conditions.
By utilizing the DJI Cinema Color System (DCCS) and the O3 Pro transmission system, the drone acts as a reliable partner in movement, ensuring that technical performance supports the creative vision without the need for overly complex setups.
Essential tools for modern production
The Basic Package is curated to include the core hardware necessary for professional use while allowing for modular expansion. The kit features:
- The Inspire 3 Aircraft and Zenmuse X9-8K Air Gimbal Camera
- Four TB51 Intelligent Batteries to support extended shooting schedules
- Specialized storage solutions, including the Inspire 3 Trolley Case and Gimbal Camera Case
Filmmakers who require the full ecosystem can still purchase key peripherals separately, such as the RC Plus remote controller, allowing the gear to grow alongside their specific project needs.
Price, availability
The DJI Inspire 3 Basic Package is available starting today through authorized retailers and the official DJI store. The package retails for PhP 615,049.
This release reinforces the philosophy that while technology provides the tools, the focus remains on the life and stories captured through the lens.
The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 might be the most popular camera in recent history. The tiny action camera constantly sells out, thanks to creators and would-be vloggers. Because of the current generation’s popularity, everyone is looking forward to the next-generation Osmo Pocket 4. Though it’s still unannounced, the new camera has suddenly made a surprising appearance out in the wild.
The leak shockingly comes from an authorized DJI retailer in Kuala Lumpur. Supposedly, a customer entered the store with what they claimed was an Osmo Pocket 4. The store, DronesKaki, even shot a now-deleted video of the unannounced camera, rescued by New Camera.
Based solely on the short video, the Osmo Pocket 4 looks and feels very familiar to those who’ve already used the Pocket 3. The three-axis gimbal system still keeps shots in place for taking videos while on the move. The 2-inch rotating screen looks identical to the current one, especially because of intuitive settings and controls.
However, the biggest standout is the built-in LED light sitting atop the camera. Despite how convenient and easy to use it is, the Pocket 3 doesn’t exactly shine in low-light conditions, prompting users to always bring an external flash. If the leak is true, the Osmo Pocket 4 cures this issue to some extent. (Built-in flashes aren’t usually standout solutions, but they can work in a pinch.)
Still, take the leak with a grain of salt. Though the store could have deleted the video because of a request from DJI, they could have also deleted it because it’s not the Osmo Pocket 4. At this point, we won’t know, but current rumors speculate that the camera is launching soon.
