W/NW Self Portrait

[Freakscene]

Hello Marty, and thank you.

I picked up the camera last week and the next day my wife and I went on a 4 day trip. I didn't take the GFX100SII with me because I was trying to travel light. Yesterday was the first chance I had to take it out and take some pictures, mainly I wanted to make sure it worked and that there weren't any problems with it. It was a lousy day; heat, humidity, hazy bad light, but I didn't want to wait any longer to test it out, so, out I went for a couple hours of shooting. The camera handled the heat and humidity better than I did.

Initial reaction compared to the GFX50R: auto-focus and tracking are vastly improved on the GFX100SII. I really like my GFX50R and I plan to keep it and continue to use it but I feel like comparing it to the GFX100SII is just not fare. It's like comparing an older dependable family car to a new Bentley.

Anyway, after using it some more I'll post pictures and comments.

All the best,
Mike

Thank you. That’s great. I can see in the photo above that the camera focused on your hands or itself (!!!? maybe self-awareness is emerging in cameras) but that might just be the mode you used. Very interested to hear how it goes in face and eye recognition modes.

This was on a roll I scanned the other night - usually fire off a mirror shot to end a roll

I am sitting at an outdoor cafe a few years ago, having coffee, when I shot this with a Lomo fisheye lens mounted on a Lumix GF1.

Taken about 20 years ago now, so I am looking a little greyer and older now. Fortunately though - not fatter. 😉
I appear to be suffering from "resting sh*t face" in this photo. Not sure why, but I am definitely projecting a serious vibe.

Peter that has a very professional finish. I like it. No-one could say it wasn’t taken by someone else with your M3 as a prop.
