A man holds a large, vintage-style camera up to the viewer. He stands outdoors with a cityscape in the background. The bottom of the image displays "PetaPixel Reviews" logos.

Fujifilm's GFX medium format camera line features versatile and relatively affordable cameras in an industry normally dominated by prestigious names like Phase One or Hasselblad. However, Fujifilm also makes the insanely popular X100 series of cameras which make for a perfect compact companion to the traveling urban photographer. So what would happen if you combined the over-your-shoulder convenience of the X100 with the raw image quality of the GFX? The answer is the GFX100RF.

Capturing Blue Hour in Landscape Photography

The difference between a good landscape photo and an extraordinary one often comes down to one thing: Light. And there's a magical window of time, called the Blue Hour, that offers some of the most atmospheric, cinematic light in landscape photography.
