  1. This was snapped during a lunch. Total shooting time—a few seconds. We so often read that a proper "portrait" should be snapped with a longer than normal lens, a low ISO to get lots of detail, and have a soft light held up above the head, and slightly to the side. The key, in my opinion, is always carry a camera. Have your camera available to capture candid, authentic photographs. Available light, no posing. This portrait used 2000 ISO, the lens wide open at f4, and 1/100 sec. to stop any movement. I didn't even take time to compose—I just snapped. I leave the "Face Detection" on unless I'm photographing a landscape or subject other than a person. The GFX100RF has the equivalent of a 28mm lens. The large sensor renders fine detail even at fairly high ISO ratings. And the drawing of the lens is just perfect in my opinion. It was set to B & W, with slightly reduced sharpness and clarity (set in-camera). Ideal for "portraits." Now, for some subjects I will likely increase the sharpness and clarity to the normal setting. The camera is new, and I'm still experimenting with it.

    I was there

    A military veteran pays tribute to those who served in the war. She remembered and honoured her fellow soldiers who served with her. Remembrance Day at a Cenotaph in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. GFX100RF f7.1 1/150 sec. ISO 100
  3. OK, they aren't real. It's a shark exhibit at my local museum. Very dark in there—I had to rate the ISO at 6400 and 8000. GFX100RF.
  4. GFX100RF. Very close up—it's only 1 ⅓ inches wide. First light in the forest. Hand-held. Carrying a tripod around on a hike would not be enjoyable.
  5. GFX100RF 160 ISO f11 7 sec. Halloween display in a local park.
  6. GFX100RF 17 sec. f16 160 ISO
  7. These are extremely interesting. I've never seen some of these types before, especially a wooden one. I'm going to contact them. Thanks for the info.
  8. Can anyone recommend a shutter button to go on the GFX100RF? I see Polar Pro makes one for the x100vi, and it looks like it would fit, but I'm not sure. Thanks.
  9. It's that time of the year alright.
  10. I popped by my local camera store to check out the GRX100RF today. They let me put my SD card in it and snap some pictures. I set it to ACROS and snapped these shots of the salesman. It's easy to see what camera brand he likes.
  11. I find myself switching to manual focus quite often. I did it again today at a visit to the zoo. The autofocus function focused on the dots on the plexiglass rather than the animal. It's very quick and easy switch on the X-H2 and X-T5, so no problem.
  12. I took the X-T5 out in a snow storm last night. I sure hope the weather resistance works! 1/60 sec. f2.8 2500 ISO XF 8-16mm lens
  13. Always wear a camera. Good advice, as I have found many times. I snapped this during a café au lait conversation. With fast X-T5 autofocus, it was easy to raise it up and snap. ISO 500 50mm lens f1.8 1/125 sec.
  14. 1/2500 f6.4 2500 ISO
  15. Lunchtime.
  16. X-H2 50-140mm
  17. Mine were sealed.
