Jakob Del Canto With a minimal setup at my friend’s apartment I wanted to snap a few shots of his brother and try the new grid I just received for my octogone. I also wanted to shoot the 32-64mm since it’s been the neglected one for me even though I know how good it is I find myself always going towards the 120mm. Find a bigger file of the first one (Still resized to 5000px) here And the second one here

Square Format

More shots from the session with Joe Bel. Shooting square reminds me of my old 500CM. She wanted some shots with the red bricks because apparently they don’t really have that in Lyon, Well when I saw this blue wall I could already see the contrast with her brown coat in Classic Chrome. An other request from her was the iron curvy set of stairs outside the apartment buildings, Montreal don’t realize that but apparently it’s unique to Montreal. More on that Later.

I’ve always been a fan of the Fujifilm TX-1 or the better known Hasselblad X-Pan. The fact that you can frame your shot while actually seeing your panoramic framing was always something appealing to me. Now with the GFX50s I can do just that. While shooting with my friend Joe Bel (Check her out her music is amazing) I couldn’t help myself to shoot a few frames in panoramic, this one is my favorite. Now the GFX crops your image to get the panoramic framing it’s really not rocket science but the fact that I can retain a 25mp image it kind of amazing, add that to the fact that I shot this image with the 120mm Macro...

I will post more images from the shoot later. GFX50s 120mm F4 Macro @F4 1/125sec ISO 100 Octogone Box with 2 TT600 SOOC JPEG

Montreal 2017

I just got my new Voigtlander 21mm F4 yesterday. Ever since I started working for Fujifilm I’ve only been satisfied with all the cameras we put out. The quality of the bodies and lenses are just incredible. But I come from a film background and I was used to shooting mechanical cameras. Manual focusing a lens that’s fly by wire and manual focusing a mechanical lens is 2 completely different thing. Honestly I don’t see why you would use manual focus on an AF lens especially when it’s super fast and super accurate. But for my ‘’style’’ of shooting AF is not really ideal, I get too close too quick to my subject and no cameras I’ve ever shot could get a good success rate. What I used to do with my film rangefinders was to zone focus; Close the aperture to F11 put focus around 1m and I would get enough of DOF to just point and shoot. Having the 21mm F4 on the X Pro2 is pretty close to perfect, it gives me an equivalent of roughly 32mm and I used to shoot a 35mm. The 3mm difference does change the angle quite a bit so I still need some getting used to. I realized today that I need to be quite closer to my subject to get the same framing I was getting with my 35mm. To balance it out, I get the DOF of the 21mm while getting a 32mm field of view. That means I gain about a stop of light since I can get about the same DOF at F8 on the 21mm as F11 on the 35mm. It felt really good shooting it today even though I didn’t really went out to shoot since I was working, I just snapped photos on my way to stores I had to visit but I can’t wait for a full day of shooting and getting used to it like I was used to my 35mm.

All shots are: X Pro2 21mm Voigtlander F4 ISO 800-6400 BW are Acros + R Colors are Classic Chrome

On The Fly With The GFX

I took this shot really on the fly on my balcony as my girlfriend got back home with her friends. I saw the amount of snow that was falling and just wanted to try something! I used 2 EF-X500 for this shot. Unfortunately Tumblr cannot give justice to the crazy #resolution of the #GFX50s paired with the #120mm #macro. Classic Chrome was the Film Simulation used for this shot with a little tweak in photoshop

Even at F4 you can see just how sharp the 120mm is, F4 on Medium Format still creates a smooth transition and a very shallow depth of field. I used one EF-X500 for this shot. Acros was the Film Simulation used for this shot
