Happy to share that my photograph “Fun In The Rain” is a nominee in the Children Of The World category of the 20th annual Black and White Spider Awards.
The 102mp image, made on the Fujifilm GFX100RF was processed using the Fujifilm Acros raw profile in Adobe’s LightRoom Classic, on my Mac Studio using calibrated Eizo CG276 monitors. You can find my review of the GFX100RF here.

Had the pleasure of attending the UK launch of the FUJIFILM GFX100RF this morning. A great opportunity to have a hands on experience of the camera, and shoot some still life and portraits (with available light as well as studio flash).
The cameras at the launch were pre-production, so I don’t yet have any photographs to share, but I did have a close look at the results on the tethered 27” iMac. I’ve been left extremely impressed. Pin sharp, beautiful rendering and a smooth bokeh. I can’t wait to shoot with the GFX100RF properly and unlock its awesome potential.
The 35mm f4 lens is an entirely new design and provides a field of view of 28mm. As the distortion is of a 35mm design and the 102mp 16bit sensor is so huge, the crop modes (full-frame equivalents of 36mm, 50mm and 63mm) are actually usable. The shooting interface (you choose to fill the EVF with the crop during shooting, or have a wider view with a compositional box) works really well. Face and eye detect AF were super fast and accurate, the camera body is an ergonomic masterpiece and astonishingly, the camera is only marginally bigger than the FUJIFILM X100!
As I write this, I’m left with one question; black or silver?! Black I think for me!
A very, very, very impressive camera!
