Empty

[Jeffrey]

No one at the beach this gloomy morning at 6 AM. Great opportunity to photograph a few nice adirondack chairs against the ocean.

Fuji GFX100, 45-100mm lens @63mm.

Nice scene for playing with your new camera. This scene works well as a B&W.

 

[JimFox]

Awesome!!!! What a fantastic mood you got here, those chairs being empty add such a cool mystery to the image.

Interesting placement of the chairs on the beach. The monochrome rendering works well.

So how are you liking the new toys?

Thanks, Jameel. The chairs are as found. I simply needed to find the proper camera location to get the relationship I wanted. The GFX100? It's another world I wish I had entered earlier. Similar excitement to when I got the first full frame camera back in 2002. Incredibly sharp. Incredible color, even if there is none of that in this picture!

So are you going to buy a 48 inch wide printer to go with it?

Ha! I don't know what I'd do with those huge prints or where I'd store them. I was considering the new Epson 24" unit, but I have no place to put it.

 

[Ben Egbert]

In that case you only need one wide lens and then just crop out the part you like

 

[Ben Egbert]

Just messing with you. I have never regretted more pixels. I am sure you will love the new camera. I have heard they have super sharp lenses too

What a classic-feeling image. I agree with Jim, there is a kind of mysterious mood that is perhaps augmented by the eery whiteness of those empty chairs.

Nice shot. I look forward to hearing more about your experience with that camera and more work with it. Did you get other lenses? Will you take it hiking/backpacking?

Thanks Jim. I started with a setup of the GFX100 and the three zoom lenses plus I got the Laowa 17mm MF prime. Still two lenses I want, but they're all a lot of dough. I don't think this is a backpacking camera. I can hike a bit with the Mindshift backpack it's all in, or a lighter load with two lenses in the think tank belt pack.

Very nice, Jeffrey. Those white chairs just jump off of the print. Excellent processing.

Very nice Jeffrey.. it feels like the chairs are have a conversation among themselves by the way you composed this. Gives the viewer a lot to think about
