LUMIX DC-GH5 images and impressions by Ross Grieve
Portrait photographer shows off the 6K PHOTO benefits of the LUMIX GH5 and the camera’s ability to easily switch from studio work to location photography.
STORY BEHIND
“Pembrokeshire, Wales. A little corner of the globe that has stunning beaches and rolling countryside. It’s an amazing place to live. With castles scattered around the county, it gives photographers so many options. I chose to shoot with the LUMIX GH5 in Pembrokeshire, because I have so many resources on my doorstep.”
“My studio and the option to explore the beautiful surrounding area. Sometimes it’s nice to get away from the city vibe and breath in that pure open space. I also really wanted to show off the 6K PHOTO* benefits of the LUMIX GH5 and being able to shoot in my studio then change to going out on location was a breeze. I also wanted to see how the LUMIX GH5 would perform in different environments. Rain, Sand and Studio. I wasn’t disappointed.”

GH5 HANDS-ON IMPRESSION
“The LUMIX GH5 is the natural evolution of the GH4, but with some serious muscle power. It still keeps its nice compact but well-built feel. Which is essential when you are moving from locations and shooting for long periods. I really wanted to see how much improvement had been made to the low light shooting with 6K PHOTO*. I was blown away. At sometimes I was shooting at ISO3200, amazing I know.”
“The image stabilisation (5-axis Dual I.S.2) is also improved hugely, making images even better, with being able to shoot at a lower shutter speeds handheld. The JPEGS coming out of the camera are vibrant and true to colour, I couldn’t ask for more than that. When shooting fast going objects I was very impressed with the response of the continuous focus.”
“One of the new features I have really enjoyed is the joy stick on the back. I use this to control my focusing points and when I press the joystick in it snaps back to the centre of the frame. I like features which make my job easier and the LUMIX GH5 ticks those boxes.”
