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!

I've been spending a lot of time tweaking my macro setup. The latest change, which has taken a while, is to allow shooting straight down on the subject.

Here's what it looks like configured that way:

Gasp-O-Matic! Impressive macro kit you've built, Jim.

I'm intrigued to know how the Stackshot 3x system is working for you. Was it straightforward to set up or did it take a lot of fiddling?

Capture all the light and colour!
 
Does the saggy bellow affects your image?

And how much light you push into this setup?

There's been a lot of messing around with Arca Swiss rails and adapters. Every time I think I have everything I need I have to order something more from Amazon. This looks like it's going to work, at least for now.

I had a nice little set of images that I was quite happy with, all ready to go from a walk in the woods earlier this week, but then I made the mistake of going out again last night and ended up with these images instead.

All images taken with the GFX100S on a tripod, equipped with either the 20-35 f/4 or 45-100 f/4 plus a CPL. Processed from individual raw file in Capture One Pro 23.

Bluebell magic, Steve. Wonderful light.

My faves are the last two.

BTW: Are they a little late this year?
