You're welcome

Thank you.

Thank you for your kind words. I use a Mac Studio and before that I used an old Mac Book Pro so I think you will be ok with an Intel iMac.

You're welcome

I use manual mode about 99% of the time. For focus bracketing you want to use manual mode when possible so that the only thing that changes between images is the focal distance.

Thank you and you are welcome.

You are very welcome.

You’re welcome. The Superstition Mountains is one of my favorite locations.

You are very welcome. I am glad it was helpful.

I am using a Really Right Stuff L bracket. The 3 Legged Thing L bracket also works on the GFX 100S.

@@EricGebhard thank you for your help.

It is really sad that no car company is offering a compact van in the US. In the Phoenix area where I live you see them everywhere. It will be interesting to see what Recon comes up with.

Recon should pair up with Wingam to make Oasis in the US

@@Desperado3248 It appears Recon is no more. I've tried contacting them several times over the past year and no response. They rarely update their website or social media accounts anymore. I've moved on to looking at small vans.

Thank you, BTW my apologizes for my delayed response.

The lower bed is 72 x40. I don't have an exact measurement for the upper bed but I think it is about 38 x 80 maybe slightly longer. I know a Big Agnus double wide sleeping pad fits. My wife is 5' 10" tall and she can sleep comfortably in the upper bed. The upper bed weight limit is 350lbs. Hopefully this helps.

You are right, that is a true sign of a master at work. It was amazing listening to him play. We listened to him play on night then decided to go back the second night to hear and video him playing (with his permission) again.

Thanks, we have a lot of strange conversations while driving. BTW my apologizes for my delayed response.

Thank you

I used the Fuji XT-4 for most of this video. The photos were all done with the GFX 50R. A few of the video clips were done with the Insta360 one R.

Great, it is a really nice camera. Enjoy, but be ready, 102MP creates some large files. But the images are worth it.

You're welcome

Thank you. Sedona is a very beautiful place, enjoy. I took this image from a trail along the west side of highway 179.

Thank you.

Thank you Semih. I am a bit envious of Switzerland. Such a beautiful country. I visited Zurich last fall and it was really nice.

I don’t have any special setting in the camera. Anyways here is how I set up to use the focus bracketing: 1. Press the drive button and select BKT (6th down on the left) then select “FOCUS BKT” (4th on the right) 2. Press the menu button and goto the camera icon (3rd down on the left) and select “FOCUS BKT SETTINGS”. This allows you to chose between Manual and Auto. From here you can set up the bracketing setting how ever you want. As long as you are in the “FOCUS BKT” drive setting it will use what ever the “FOCUS BKT SETTINGS” are configured for. The key is to make sure your in Focus bracketing drive setting. Hope this helps Eric

Thank you. The Arca Swiss head is my favorite so far. I was just traveling out of the country and used a ball head (easier to travel with) and realized how much nicer the geared head is. It's a bit pricey but it is like a work art.

@@EricGebhard you get what you pay for, and you pay for what you get. you can’t beat good quality gear.

Unfortunately the Fuji GF lens have quite a bit of focus breathing. I would suggest that you figure out which focus position is zoomed in the most and use that for composing. To start the stack images I would start at the closest focus point. Fortunately the focus stacking software compensates for the focus breathing. Hopefully this helps. Eric

@@EricGebhard Focus breathing! That was the term I was looking for. Thanks again Eric, I will approach it from this basis.

Thank you, I am planning on doing a follow up video to talk about updates and changes. Hopefully I will have it finished later this summer.

The tripod head I am using is an Arca Swiss Cube C1. It is a really nice piece of gear and I highly recommend it. Michael Strickland did a nice review of it www.michaelstricklandimages.com/blog/2016/10/5/gear-review-arca-swiss-cube-c1. On the camera I am using a Really Right Stuff L bracket. I have used RRS L brackets on just about every camera I have owned. They are a bit expensive but fit the camera perfect and are very solid. Hope this helps.

@@EricGebhard Amazing : thanks a lot !

Thank you for the information I appreciate it.

I have not tried using the focus bracketing for macro photography.

Jean-Michal, Thank you. The GFX 50Sii is a great option, especially if you are using a tripod. 50 megapixels is plenty and for the price it is a hard camera to beat. I used to use a GFX 50R and never worried about a lack of megapixels. One thing to keep in mind is that you may need more file storage space because of the large file sizes. The 45-100mm f4 lens it is my favorite lens for the GFX. It is approximately a 36-80mm f3.2 full frame equivalent lens. If I had to chose just one lens it would be the 45-100mm. In my experience it is the sharpest and most versatile lens I own. The downside is it is big and heavy, but if you are not hauling it on your back for several miles the weight is not an issue. Another thing to keep in mind, which maybe helpful to you for portraits, is that the GFX has a very shallow depth of field. The good news is that the focus fall off is very smooth so the shallow depth of field is not too noticeable. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@@EricGebhard Eric my friend I tell you what I real miss. I don’t know if you were too young film cameras-back 40 plus years ago when you look into the Hasselblad, Mamiya tlr twins lens , Bronica’s,Yasica tlr when you popped up the diopter glass and view the ground glass, reflecting from the prism light gathering coming through the lens glass when the light hits it. The view from that ground glass with refine pebbles from the glass was magical. There was nothing like it. I miss that. I wish Fuji would recreate a simulation like that. Even simulate the viewfinder all the back of the screen. I back in the days of black and white film, developing in a dark room with an enlarger with the timer with the smell of developer stopper fixer mixing the ingredients. Dodging burn. Those were the good old days. Amen brother.

@@jean-michelargentin5465 Yea I'm old enough to remember film. I always used 35mm. In High School I took 2 semesters of photography. All we shot was B&W and we had to develop and print everything ourselves in the darkroom. You kind of felt like a mad scientist when working in the darkroom. I used a Canon AT-1 (fully manual camera) at the time and it was great. You're right, there is nothing like looking through a view finder and seeing the scene real time. I have yet to see an EVF that is as good as a viewfinder on an SLR.

@@EricGebhard aha we came from the same experience. One day years ago in the darkroom I have a vision like I always do but at that time I had no way to bring to this realm-but finally I was able to in 2016

@@EricGebhard This was the result. ua-cam.com/video/DfAyyH0mMSs/v-deo.html

You're welcome and thank you for the kind words. I would recommend taking extra focus points. It is very easy to not use an image for the stack versus trying to go back and get more images. Editing all of the images exactly the same (this includes white balance) is really important and makes stacking the images much easier.

The society of putting things ontop of other things

Thank you I am glad you found it helpful.

Fuji is making some really nice cameras right now. They appear to be dominating the medium format market at the moment.

Thank you. In the US you could only get a gas version. Personally, I wish we could have gotten the diesel version because then we could have installed a diesel heater. Would have taken the chill out of the cold winter nights.

Thank you. I don't have a video about training them. It really didn't take too much time to train them provided they are willing to learn and like treats. I just set the bell out and worked with them one at a time starting with me ringing the bell then giving them a treat. After that I got them to touch the bell for a treat. Finally, they started to touch the button on the bell so it would ring and they would get a treat. In all it took a couple of evening treat sessions before they figured it out. We do have a third cat, and try as I might she will not ring the bell.

Absolutely, I would have a constant ring in my ears all night long.

It's a setting you can setup in the menus. Go to the SET UP menu and select BUTTON/DIAL SETTING, TOUCH SCREEN SETTING, and make sure TOUCH SCREEN SETTING is set to ON for the camera. At least this is how it appears to work on my camera.

Thank you. We park the van in our garage which has an 8 foot tall opening. I have measured the height from the ground to the top of the boxes and it is about 6 feet 9 inches tall so it should fit into a standard 7 foot tall garage opening. Being able to park the van in our garage was very important because we can not park it outside were we live.

Thank you. I’m glad it was helpful.
