Aperture Series: Mining Buildings in Monochrome (GFX100)
This aperture series from f/3.5 to f/11 was shot in the mountains near Death Valley. It has dual goals: (1) to show the performance of the Fujifilm GF 50mm f/3.5 R LM WR from f/3.5 to f/11, and (2) show what one can expect with monochrome conversions of color images on this kind of subject matter.
Includes images up to full camera resolution from f/3.5 to f/11.
