In order to achieve such striking landscape photography, Victor Liu often travels into some of the world\u2019s most unforgiving environments \u2013 and this comes with obvious challenges. \u201cMy style of photography is extreme adventure photography, mostly landscape artworks,\u201d explains Victor, who was specifically interested in the GFX 100\u2019s weather-sealed magnesium alloy body and its 102-megapixel back-side illuminated (BSI) CMOS sensor. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cMy trip presented two huge challenges for the camera; the severe weather conditions and the grand landscapes. When combined, they test both the camera\u2019s robustness and the level of detail in its renditions,\u201d he says.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n GFX 100 + GF23mmF4 R LM WR \u2013 1\/13 sec at F11 ISO 100<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Victor draws on his extensive experience of hiking, mountain climbing, and kayaking for his expeditions and with this extensive knowledge, he knows firsthand the importance of traveling light. When he first heard about the GFX 100, he wasn\u2019t sure how well a camera with a sensor of this size would travel, but these concerns soon disappeared. \u201cIt was surprisingly not too bulky and heavy. When I needed to carry it to high mountains, I found it relatively light,\u201d he reveals. \u201cI paired up the camera with the GF23mmF4 R LM WR and made it to the top with minimal accessories.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Victor is no stranger to larger sensors, with the FUJIFILM GFX system as his usual setup. He tells us that he was initially attracted by the exceptional image size and quality that can be achieved with the system. The fact that the GFX 100 takes this high quality to the extreme proved to be one of his favorite features of the camera. \u201cWhen I imported the images to my laptop, I realized just how great the image quality is,\u201d he says. \u201cNothing can beat such intricate details for a grand landscape shot.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n GFX 100 + GF23mmF4 R LM WR \u2013 1\/4 sec at F20 ISO 100<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In addition to the image quality that can be achieved with the GFX 100\u2019s groundbreaking BSI sensor, Victor also named durability and power efficiency as his other two favorite features. \u201cI work in harsh conditions all the time, so weather resistance is very important to me, and with such remote shooting locations, battery life also plays a huge part,\u201d he says, telling us that the GFX 100 delivered on both fronts.<\/span><\/p>\n The GFX 100\u2019s body is weather sealed at 95 points to defend it from even the most adverse weather conditions, while its built-in vertical grip provides space for a second battery to maximize shooting time. Both of these factors helped Victor to ensure he was in the right place at the right time in order to achieve stunning results. \u201cIn a lot of cases, the images were shot after long and difficult climbs, and often involved waiting for up to an hour in cold temperatures wearing wet clothes,\u201d he recalls. \u201cBut it is always worth it when that magic moment shows up,\u201d he adds with a smile.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n GFX 100 + GF23mmF4 R LM WR \u2013 20 sec at F9 ISO 250<\/p>\n<\/div>\n This determination to get the perfect shot is a characteristic that Victor feels is important for his particular style of photography, especially when documenting the beauty of our fragile environment. \u201cI\u2019d like to be remembered for my dedication to adventure and photography as a means of capturing nature\u2019s beauty and documenting it for future generations\u201d he tells us, concluding that the GFX 100 is certainly a camera that can help him build such a legacy.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span>\u201cI would use the GFX 100 for my hard-core photo adventures in the future for sure. I think it\u2019s a top-notch camera.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Victor Liu is a compensated FUJIFILM X-Photographer.\u00a0<\/em>To see more of Victor\u2019s work, visit his <\/span>website<\/span><\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n The FUJIFILM GFX 100 is available soon to buy from <\/span>FUJIFILM Authorized Dealers<\/strong><\/a> across Canada.\u00a0<\/span>Learn more and read the full specifications\u00a0here<\/u><\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n![\"Victor](\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Victor-Liu_Moving-Mountains_GFX-100_1.jpg\")
