Man, I love that camera! The lenses I used for this shoot were the GF80mmF1.7 R WR, the GF100-200mmF5.6 R LM OIS WR, and the GF23mmF4 R LM WR. All excellent sharp lenses. They deliver ultra-high resolution for the 100MP Fujifilm GFX 100S medium format camera system. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67acd41805b48431d10177d8/033aecc6-763c-4c75-81c1-096eba8b4231/RDR-20250204.175309-00377257-Edit.jpg Russell Dean Roberts - Shooting an Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67acd41805b48431d10177d8/37ebc64e-7af6-4761-b99f-edce1ab24a7f/RDR-20250204.184536-00377299-Edit.jpg Russell Dean Roberts - Shooting an Icon - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67acd41805b48431d10177d8/13911fd2-be90-4339-ab32-8e178283fdf3/IMG_4800.jpg Russell Dean Roberts - Shooting an Icon The lighting I used were a couple of Aputure MC RGBWW led lights in addition to the overhead led lighting in the garage that I turned on and off individually. Without any overhead lighting I had to use much longer exposures with the high aperture numbers I was shooting with. The Aputure lights didn’t put out enough light for much less than 20-30 second exposures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67acd41805b48431d10177d8/49a6a30c-a41c-416d-926c-6886106e06e6/IMG_4796.jpg Russell Dean Roberts - Shooting an Icon It was a very simple setup in the garage to get the shots done. Lighting was the most difficult part for I hadn’t had any experience with this kind before. A lot of trial and error occurred of course. And since each shot was 30 seconds or so plus time looking for a slightly different angle after each one, it took me many hours to end up with a few bangers.
