Composition is my main focus, and for me that is finding the details in nature, showing details that you wouldn\u2019t normally see or notice. I do this by getting close to subjects, and focussing on foreground elements. I use focus stacking techniques and shoot panoramas to create more depth in the image.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_02.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_02.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF32-64mmF4 R LM WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Scouting is very important in landscape photography. I don\u2019t just go shoot at the last minute. I always plan my shoot in advance. I spend a lot of time coming to the same composition, the same place many times to look for foreground and background details, and decide which focal length to use. If I\u2019m shooting telephoto, it\u2019s going to be a completely different image to using a wide angle lens.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_03.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_03.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>Every picture takes a lot of time to implement. For me landscape photography is not like street photography or photojournalism where you have one chance to get the shot. For me it\u2019s planning, scouting, studying the light direction, checking weather conditions and then implementing the technical aspects.<\/p>\n<p>In the last ten years, I\u2019ve travelled to more than fifty countries. Each country is different in terms of nature and landscape. Iceland stands out to me as such a unique location, although it has become so popular. To me the unique combination of black sand, volcanoes, ice, and mountains, and especially the northern lights, it\u2019s one of the best places. Second for me is definitely Namibia, because I love the desert. Of course we have the desert in the UAE, but Namibia is different, it\u2019s the oldest desert in the world, and it\u2019s completely different in terms of colors, compositions and wildlife.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_04.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_04.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>What I like about landscape photography is being in nature. I grew up in nature, in the mountains of Lebanon. This is one of the reasons why I am drawn to landscapes, while my commercial photography is architectural. I implement almost the same techniques but for me landscape photography is completely different.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_05.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_05.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>I decided to combine my landscape photography with my interest in being able to travel overland to almost any remote location. Being completely remote, and to have my own time and flexibility in terms of getting close to my composition is important. I\u2019m not passionate about driving, or off-roading itself, but it allows me to be surrounded by nature, and stay close to where I will photograph. I have my own setup in terms of camping, facilities, and electricity to be able to do my photography, and even sometimes to run workshops.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-caption\"><a href=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_06.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/fujifilm-x.b-cdn.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/gf50s-ii_danny-eid_06.jpg\" alt=\"Image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">GFX50S II &amp; GF45-100mmF4 R LM OIS WR<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><p>My philosophy for editing and post processing is very simple. Definitely I work with multiple exposures, and stitching panoramic shots but I don\u2019t spend a lot of time editing. I like to shoot more, and edit less, because I\u2019m an outdoor person. I\u2019d rather be out in nature shooting, or shooting for a client. With the 16-bit files I\u2019m getting from the Fujifilm GFX, capturing amazing details, I don\u2019t need to spend hours processing multiple exposures.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GFX50S II Impression My name is Dany Eid, I am a Lebanese photographer based in Dubai.
