This weekly topic serves as a place for forum members to share recent work with our medium format cameras. It's OK for medium format owners to dazzle us with images made with other cameras, but the idea is to allow owners with similar cameras to compare notes, chops, and sensibilities.

Using Threaded View helps to keep each person's contribution and responses linked in a tree-like structure so replies/discussions are easier to follow.

To begin:
  1. Add your contribution for the week by responding to this, the first message in this topic.
  2. Change the Subject of your message, then embed your image into the reply with whatever you’d like to say about it. (Embedding makes it easier to participate, easier than a link to an image located outside the forum - but links aren’t a great offense).
  3. In order to make things easier for our cellphone users, please limit the number of images in one post to fewer than 10, and don't quote images in your replies that are extraneous to the points you're making.
If you especially want C&C (criticism/critique) or technique feedback, say so. It’s assumed one does want such feedback, but direct requests may garner a more studied analysis/response. If you don't want such feedback, say so, and others will respect your wishes. If you don't want anybody to suggest changes by posting edits of your image, say that, too.

If you feel you've been ignored, select your post, reply to it with a brief note to the effect of "Can I get some feedback?". Not getting feedback on a post isn't uncommon, so don't feel offended - no one is charged to ensure all posts get attention (we're not organized enough for that). If you want particular feedback (composition, exposure choice, etc.), saying so can be helpful for the potential respondents as to what your needs may be.

It is courteous and advisable that, should you post images for feedback, you also make comment on at least one other contribution. Respectful acknowledgment of everyone is the goal, and it’s requested that all participants assume some responsibility to that end.

Enjoy!

Seems as if Feb. 19 in the SouthWest had a lot of these.

Appear high enough to be cirrocumulus.

That's gorgeous, Bob.

I just love it when the clouds are lit from below.

Beautiful. Where is this? Wouldn't mind visiting some day.
 
Thank you Jim :)
 
Yesterday, in a surprising turn of events, the gloomy leaden grey cloud cover that normally dominates the Lancashire skyline briefly dispersed, treating us to blue skies, a gentle breeze and pleasant temperatures, and on a Saturday too! Of course, as I write this the next day, it's blowing a gale and driving rain distorts the view through the window, so I guess we're back to business as usual then.

Anyway, during this brief window of calm, I drove up to Anglezarke, a local area dominated by a chain of reservoirs collecting drinking water from the surrounding moors. On this occasion I'd decided to head into one of the many pockets of woods dotted around the place, taking the GFX100S, 20-35 f/4, 45-100 f/4 and a sturdy tripod along for the ride. All images processed from raw files in Capture One Pro 23.

1. Looking across Anglezarke reservoir to the woods I was planning to explore for the next couple of hours. Long exposure with both the ND8, ND64 and CPL magnetically dangling on the front of the lens.

2. A group of spritely looking trees lined the path.

3. This part of the woods contains many characterful trees, but is especially cluttered, which makes getting a clear shot at many of them seemingly impossible. After a bit of head scratching I came up with this pairing of quite animated looking characters.

4. The trees around here tend to have either malicious or jolly characters. This one is firmly in the former category I think.

5. The woodland path climbs over the hill shown in the first picture. At its highest point, a very steep muddy embankment falls away to one side, which is where I spotted this grouping a little way down the slope and ended up precariously scrambling part way down to get a clear shot while clinging to another tree so I didn't slide down into the dark waters of the reservoir waiting for me at the bottom.

6. Having safely made my way back onto the path, I continued over the brow of the hill, eventually arriving at Spen Cob Wood. I've photographed this curious looking tree before in more dramatic light, but it's interesting to see it in bright sunlight.

7. Following the path up past Spen Cob Wood eventually leads to a bench overlooking High Bullough reservoir, one of the older parts of the reservoir chain that appears to be being allowed to drain for some reason. The bench was a welcome relief having carried my heavy camera gear over the hill and this was the view I enjoyed.

8. The backlit trees cast strong shadows across the uneven path as I made my way around High Bullough reservoir.

Hi all -- posting photos in the weekly thread seems fitting as the best introduction for my first post in here, hopefully not committing any faux pas.

I'm Alberto, hailing from the SF Bay Area. I have been a lurker on dpreview since (checks notes) around... 2008... I've seen my fair share of threads of all colors in these years.

Photography-wise, I have a chronic case of what I affectionately call "de Loe's Folly" :) my favorite system to shoot is a GFX camera mounted on a Horseman L45 camera with adapted Mamiya RB67 lenses. If it weren't for 1) the weight and 2) the lack of any wide angle lenses, I would exclusively shoot that setup.

I have been shooting a Fuji 50R with both that setup and the 35-70 for portability for threeish years. I love its sensor's output but I have always disliked the camera, its size, its handling, its controls, its viewfinder; we never gelled. Last week I got a 100sII with a 20-35 and a 45-100, and from what I can see they're exactly what the doctor ordered; it's like my XH2s' big sibling. I'm looking forward to having the time to try it with the Horseman. This new equipment kind of pushed me to create an account and actively participate in here.

And now, for the photos, just some quick shots in Muir Woods from the weekend, to give the new equipment a shakedown.

Anyways, lovely to be here with you all!
 
Welcome! Your images are just as I remembered visiting the area when I lived in SF 52 years ago. Hope to see more.
