Urbex strategies for Monday.

Added 2025-06-15 07:30:01 +0000 UTC

With the shooting of Elfa in the abandoned Asylum, I will definitely take a different approach to the urbex style photos I made in Sotto il Monte with Ania.

No Nikon D810, no AF-S NIKKOR 20mm f/1.8G ED, no flash.

I hope I will not regret it, but I've chosen to shoot only with available light.
Main camera will be the Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin" (the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase), equivalent of a 68mm on full frame format, so only slightly telephoto, and should maintain plenty of context around Elfa.
As a backup camera in a dangerous environment, I will take the Panasonic Lumix S1, with the Contax-Zeiss Planar T* 50mm f1.7, and the Contax-Zeiss Sonnar T* 85mm f2.8.
On the wider side I will take only the 35mm f2 attached to the Fujifilm X100VI, for more carefree and artistic experimentations.
No tripod for any camera, or maybe I will take it just in case and leave it in the car...

Because on Monday the weather forecast is still giving thunderstorms, but with the heat we are experiencing in these last days, it is going to be a relief, hoping the daylight stays powerful!
