There's Always Something To Photograph

What do you do when you go out to photograph in certain conditions and what you find isn’t what you expected? Do you give up? Decide to try another day? Or do you think, I’m here with my camera, let's see what I can do to bring home some decent photographs?
I went out on a nice foggy day to Maroondah Dam to get some shots of the trees in the fog, but by the time I got there, the fog had cleared, the day was just overcast and gloomy, and looked a bit dismal.
So I changed my expectations… I decided to work with the cards I was dealt, and went black and white, square crop and tried for some atmospheric photos.
I had my medium format Fujifilm GFX50R with a Voigtlander 85mm lens from a slide projector. Fixed aperture of f2.9. It was time for a bit of creativity…
All the gear used in this video is mine, bought at full retail with my own money.

Great stuff!

Wow, those photos are gorgeous. Made me think of Twin Peaks again....

Thanks Greg, the one with the round top structure and the people standing there is brilliant to say the least. I really got to start getting my B/W going again. My E500 needs to have a go, it does nice B/W and Olympus put the filter effects in camera and they actually work properly. Sometimes the 'Old Stuff" is "Gold Dust" .. lol

Yep, get out there. Never know what you might find.

Interestingly different lens Greg, seemed to be well suited to those land/water landscapes!✌️

[@GregCarrick]

Yes, it's imperfections bring in photos a modern lens won't get :)
