>>4174780> I don't understand your shift from deep to shallow and from apsc to medium format. Changing camera wasn't a good move imo. At least it isn't a good move in the way that the gear is altering your style and not the other way around, which how it should beI've had a lot of ideas lately where I wanted far more control depth of field wise for more close up subjects. The first image in the thread is point in case that when it needs to this camera can do exactly the same thing I do with my x100f anyway and is something that would be included with the old shots
>Or maybe these will go well in the book or something to break the monotony of fuji images with same focal length and deep focus?This is exactly what I've been feeling lately. I have a number of pages I've laid out and have been left wanting for more up close sets and more variety in perspective
>Although shallow focus with in New Topo is a brave move I must say. Shallow focus is producing the effect of claustrophobia(through compression) and toy type feel(same as a tilt shift lens). Like you're producing a cheaper shitty plastic version of """reality""". I know you're doing this intentionally, you're trying to refute "realism" of photography by using the add technical artifice to your photos which give them a strange quality because photo aren't "ought" to look like this. Oy vey, wait a minute! I think I am starting to "get" what you're trying to do, kek.This is almost exactly the same thing that I had happen when I started out using this. It was really mindbending being able to really warp stuff quite a bit and I eventually wanted to start using that to miniaturize and pop certain subjects
Either way I missed out on shooting a ton of stuff this winter due to work so the whole winter was a bust as far as my set goes so I've just been trying to break out of my comfort zone and experiment so I can pick it up again next year with some fresh ideas to combine with the old ones
