LUMIX GH5 DANIEL BEREHULAK

STORY BEHIND

“The Tonle Sap Lake area in Cambodia is one of the world’s most varied and productive ecosystems. An abundance of activity, history, amazing color and welcoming people made for a great environment to test the camera’s capabilities. The LUMIX GH5 is an excellent tool for photojournalism, providing professional-level lenses in a lightweight, compact, and non-intimidating form. The Tonle Sap was a great location to explore with this new camera.”

STORY BEHIND

“Life on the Mekong River and the Tonle Sap is thrived with its rich culture and energy. Fisherman battle with rapids upstream in Laos while downstream in the Tonle Sap, they pull their fishnets out of the lake, where their houses are also built upon, providing them with nourishment and the means to trade. The flood plains fed by the Mekong, sustain agricultural needs with the cultivation of rice and Lotus flowers to drive their commerce.”

“Millions of people depend on the Mekong river and its’ tributaries. Having the new GH5 allowed me to capture the afternoon light as it danced on top of the lake giving stunning reproductions of vivid color and rustic textures of lives on and around the waters edge. The 5-axis Dual I.S.2 allowed me to capture moments in low light producing high quality images in difficult conditions. The LUMIX GH5 became the most welcome companion that provided me flexibility and freedom to capture the vibrancy and life of its inhabitants.”

GH5 HANDS-ON IMPRESSION

“The camera performed solidly and its compact size made it easy to carry all day, even with multiple lenses. Using the silent mode allowed me to be unobtrusive when photographing personal scenes and quiet moments in family homes. Large cameras can be loud and intimidating, but the LUMIX GH5 is so small and compact that it’s completely unassuming in the hands of the photojournalist.”

“The improved image stabilization system 5-axis Dual I.S.2 allowed me to capture moments in low light producing high quality images in difficult conditions. This along with the rapid autofocus ensured that I was able to freeze those unique fleeting moments that would otherwise be challenging to capture.”

“When I’m shooting under testing conditions, I don’t want to worry about whether the camera is going to keep up, in rain, dust and mud, the camera’s new all weather sealing gave me the confidence to keep on shooting.”
