As mentioned in my last post, I am now in Berlin, so it’s time for a little gallery from here.
Almost every blog I see that writes about Fuji cameras talks about recipes and presets. Well are you ready for a shock?
Up until now I have rarely used presets or recipes on these cameras, having worked how I always have, adjusting them as I go. I say until now.
For this festival I have pre-set a couple of working settings (based on last years lighting) for the two locations which I work at here. I have also added a couple of film recipes.
The following images were taken around Potsdammer Platz (an area I know well) between two photocalls on the first day. They are essentially straight out of camera (first X100 and then I moved on to the GFX) using a T-Max P3200 Recipe.
These first two images are from the X100 and have not been adjusted.
After taking these, and having a coffee, I switched to the GFX100RF.
GFX100RF ISO 500 1/1250 sec at f5.0
GFX100RF ISO 500 1/1250 sec at f5.0
GFX100RF ISO 500 1/1340 sec at f9.0
HOP ON
GFX100RF ISO 80 1/70 sec at f9.0
GFX100RF ISO 80 1/350 sec at f4.0
The most I did to these was crop or, in some cases, adjust the white and black points (mainly on the wall images). The doorway had its perspective corrected.
One of the things I love about this city is the contrasts. The culture clashes. The contrasts between the old and the new, the East and the West.
Hopefully, Monday I will manage to write about how the recipies are working for me.
Until then ….
