Lines, lines, and more lines of Art Deco grandeur.
With only a couple of hours before heading to the airport, I wanted to explore the Golden Gate Bridge through the Fujifilm GFX100RF's 65:24 panoramic format. The bridge's sweeping lines, structural details, and surrounding landscape made it an ideal subject for experimenting with perspective and depth.
Working handheld with a fixed 35mm lens encouraged a deliberate approach to composition. The built-in ND filter provided additional exposure control, while the 102-megapixel sensor captured details I didn't fully appreciate until reviewing the images later. Much like older film cameras, shooting with this camera is very deliberate.
The images were very minimally edited in Capture One as RAF Raw files. I added a small amount of film grain that can be seen in the JPEGS.
PHOTOGRAPHIC NOTES
The wide panoramic format was a natural fit for the bridge's sweeping lines and surrounding landscape. Shooting handheld with a fixed lens required a little more attention to positioning, perspective, and the balance between foreground and background. The built-in ND filter offered additional exposure control, and the RAF files needed only minimal adjustments in Capture One.
