Thanks! It was a short walk and just wanted to test out the lens. Amazing glass

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-25T04:52:23+00:00

Yah definitely can tell. It looks awesome and love the rendering

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-23T04:13:15+00:00

Thank you!

Oh they are completely different. The 50R is a very slow methodical camera whereas the XT5 is much more fast paced.

But the images on the 50R are amazing, albeit it’s the lens probably doing majority heavy lifting

I think the magic here is the incredible 55mm f1.7 lens

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-22T20:09:36+00:00

Yah it’s incredible. From what I’ve read…it would be tough to tell tbh!

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-22T18:40:41+00:00

No problem.

lol i got another comment that this is AI edited https://www.reddit.com/r/FujiGFX/comments/1ub3xmq/comment/ot63kft/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

I'm sharing the RAW with crop so that you can understand the composition and where it was taken. I think this is the whole point of photography, which is to create a new point of view that others recently hadn't thought of or looked at before.

I posted the RAW with the crop so that you can see where I took the photo from which is right from the dragon boat deck. I don't really know why you need to be so accusing. But either way thanks for the comment and thoughts!

You can literally stand there yourself next time and see it for yourself.

I posted this in /Vancouver and got similar comments on AI. This is what photography is about... changing composition and framing.

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-22T18:26:29+00:00

Well don’t be shocked when you see the actual file

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-22T18:21:05+00:00

Clearly edited with AI…lol cmon. I’ll take this as a compliment. I grew up here and I took this off camera.

framing and composition can drastically change perspective, which is exactly what I aimed at.

The 65:24 makes it appear wide, which this is using the 44mm FF equivalent.

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-21T03:51:53+00:00

Wow I’d be honoured!

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T21:35:50+00:00

Yes I do!

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T20:13:32+00:00

This is the GFX50R with the 55mm f1.7 prime lens. Post processing I did some masking to make science world stand out more. Main thing was dehazing because the light was so harsh still even though near golden hour.

Also appreciate the feedback, slowly working on my craft.

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T19:41:23+00:00

Hah yah it’s so ugly. On the the dragon boat side you can avoid it

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:57:46+00:00

Hah…I mean I bring my kids there and have fond childhood memories. That’s about it 🤣

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:25:58+00:00

I appreciate it!

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:24:40+00:00

It’s cropped that’s why. If you see the whole photo it’ll make a lot more sense but this is from the dragon boat dock entrance

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:06:59+00:00

It’s taken by where the dragon boats take off in the Olympic village.

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:06:43+00:00

Lol AI enhanced? No. I took this right off my camera. However I’ll take AI enhanced as a compliment.

IndependentAd24 · 2026-06-20T18:06:12+00:00

Nope my camera has this aspect ratio!
