The GFX50s+32-64 is a perfectly reasonable 'walk around' combination for urban photography without the need for a tripod.

Afternoon

I'm not a street photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but having picked up a new 45mm yesterday, I grabbed some shots on the walk back from the shop. The chaos of Hanoi!

Thanks Dave!

My main form of relaxing this time of the year is to walk in different brook canyons.
There is some times an almost magical feel to them.

Members of the Tyne and Wear fire and rescue service carrying out a water safety drill on the river Tyne opposite the old Brett Oils factory. GFX + GF 110mm f2:

Here's one I'll post just as a discussion point. I normally use mechanical shutter only on my GFX, if I need faster than 1/8000 sec I'll either stop down the aperture or use a filter if I need more BG seperation. On this day though it was really bright when I was out with the camera and I had the 110mm f2 fitted. I decided to enable the electronic shutter to see what I'd get. The result made me laugh, one of the comments when I put this on the GFX page on facebook was exactly right, the person walking looks a bit like John Cleese doing his 'Ministry of Silly Walks' sketch! That and the curvature of the girders are of course caused by the rolling effect of the electronic shutter and Fuji even issues a disclaimer covering this point. So once I'd taken this shot and laughed at the result, electronic shutter back to switched off in the menu!
Anyone had similar and care to share?

i think it would be better to create a dedicated "electronic shutter accidents" thread.

just talking for myself here, but in this thread i wanna see quality work :eek:

Great Smoky Mountains National Park a couple of weeks ago. Rainy and misty day. Miserable for tourists but great for photographers. Rarely do I have conditions that allow a 16 sec. exposure with no leaf or flower petal movement. The dogwoods were at or near peak in Cades Cove and the Tremont area. This was taken along the Middle Prong of the Little River.

I can understand slanted distortions, and curving of rotating lines, but how do you get curved girders from a rolling shutter? Does it roll from the middle?

Meanwhile, my S lenses came back from Wetzlar last week with their motors upgraded. Here's the view from our new offices with the S(007) and 24 Super Elmar



Best,

Matt

Matt, I don't see any evidence of rolling shutter artifacts in your image, but what about that stair stepping in the center of the frame? :)

Astonishing demosaicing artifact, isn't it?

But I was wondering about Mark C's beautiful bridge capture.... :cool:

Reversing camera movement from top to bottom? That would do it. But the rolling shutter effect could be interesting to recreate the famous Lartigue image of the speeding car that influenced comic depictions of speeding cars for generations, both in terms of the wheel shape, but also in the crowd body position.

Created by a cloth focal plane shutter and panning the camera (the car is moving faster than the camera is panning).

I am going to have to play with my electronic shutter on my X Pro2.

That's precisely the linear distortion I was thinking of. But curvature of otherwise straight object happens with, e.g., horse lower limb rotation. Still can't see how a curved girder appears...
