Schedule in advance.

I usually have 2/3 days scheduled on Patreon, in advance, so as not to leave any empty day without your dose of Apples.
But here I am on Saturday with nothing ready for Sunday, having dedicated so much effort to the Monochrome Saturday photo!

For this Monday I've chosen a photo of Stella (3 actually to be posted also elsewhere).
Looking back at her Archive, I've noticed that with the Medium format GFX camera I'm shooting less close portraits, let's call them "topless portraits" of my models.
One reason may be because I'm not experimenting much with longer focal lengths on this new Fujifilm camera, because "Martin" (the used Zeiss T* 1,4/85mm Planar ZF named after the kind Patron that helped me to buy it) is somewhat glued to the front of this camera and I have no intention of removing it any time soon, so well this combination is performing for me!
But the other reason is that, with the medium format richness in details, I have no reasons to enlarge a section of the photo for you with a telephoto lens, when you can do it yourself by just zooming in the wider picture ("Martin" is providing the equivalent full frame focal length of 68mm) to your heart's content.
And the same could be said for the Leica M10 Monochrome, because it is a rangefinder camera I'm using mainly with a 50mm Summicron-M, 2 reasons NOT to get too close to your subject, respectively to avoid parallax errors in framing and distortion of the model's features.

After this honeymoon with the 2 new cameras is over, I should reintroduce in my shootings a third camera dedicated to longer telephoto lens (90/200mm), ideally the Leica SL2-S, now that I can use IBIS on any focal length.

Remember to check the other 2 photo of Stella later today, on my regular social media feed, and on DA Subscriptions.
