Bramley Apple

A feast for the eyes.

I've learned my lesson, I can experiment shallow depth of field on full frame sensors, and with 50mm lenses, but with medium format I have to be careful!
The Fujifilm GFX 50S II + "Martin", the Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF (named after the Patron that sponsored part of the purchase), is framing the equivalent field of view of a 68mm lens, but I have to close down at least to 2.8 to have a sufficient portion of the model in focus, and the background is going to melt away regardless.
In this picture I love the infinite details you can pick on the skin of Barbora, the variable texture on the various areas of her body, and the white hair growing from the Cupid tattoo.
But I also like the subtle transition from the neutral daylight and the warm artificial light in the background, because the medium format sensor is also a master in handling tonal nuances, and gives new depth to every image.

To appreciate the quality of this camera and lens combination, you really need everything to fall into place, the right location, a good light and, last but not least, a great model like Barbora.
And for the observer, you need to enlarge the photo and bask in the experience, better still if you do it on a decent computer screen, and in a dimly lit interior.
And speaking about details, let's see if you manage to spot the 2 white tattoos visible in this photo... and give the position in comments.

Allow me to take my time before revealing her full nudity, after all she is here to stay, and there is no hurry...
