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!
 
Kash and all his fellow doggies wish all. "Happy Halloween"

Looking back at this photo I took yesterday, it now seems somewhat artificial to me, as if it were over-processed. What do you think? I did almost no post-processing; I mean, this is practically an OOC photo. There was just a very strange light, colors, and contrast at that moment, and my X2D captured it accurately (and with the typical “clinical” rendering of the 45P). However, if I had the opportunity to publish this photo somewhere, I would hesitate! or I would at least try to desaturate the sky...

Outstanding! Curious what the color version looked like if you are willing.

I'm trying to thin out my lens collection. I told my wife I would get rid of some, and then I bought a GFX with 4 lenses as a package. One of the four has sold, another is with a company that sells on commission but the lens count is still up by two.
The lens baby control freak and sigma 12-24 I had for my Pentax K1 are ear marked to go. It turns out I have lost the Pentax 85mm soft I bought on a whim and tired of very quickly. A couple of others are gathering dust. But I have two Tamron 90mm macros, the adaptal "55B" - a 1979 design AIUI - the weight of it would make you think it was made by a blacksmith but it's very satisfying to use - and a newer autofocus one which has a lot of plastic in the build. Surely one can go ?

Having found when the lens vignettes a lot with the big sensor and when it doesn't , I tried it with a K&F adapter and produced this which I quite liked.

Maybe it doesn't completely justify 100MP but considering its age
 
I have hundreds of images to go through from three days walking up and around Korea's third highest mountain, Seroksan. Didn't make its to the highest peak at 1750m, but got to about 1000m on the first day. Korea's mountains are made more accessible by the liberal use of steps, both wooden and metal.

Because I knew I would be climbing, I left the big Fuji (100II) in the hotel and used the RF and my new XE5 with 16 - 55f/2.8 and the 55-200) I did miss having the 100 II with the 20 - 35, but not the weight of it!

at the start of the day:

This is the Pentax 6x7 S-M-C Takumar 105/2.4 wide open on the Kipon Tilt-Shift adapter, tilted (or swung) all the way - 13 degrees - to the left, at infinity focus. In the second copy of the image I've used Photoshop's "Find Edges" filter to highlight the plane of focus, which appears not to be a "plane" because of field curvature - am I understanding that correctly?

This is a somewhat older copy of this lens and is very prone to flare wide open. It's quite obvious when pixel peeping that it doesn't resolve a lot of detail when it's wide open and tilted so much, but it's fun to experiment with. I'm still learning.

What about just adjusting the WB?

I think I'd like these better if they were less chromatic.

Did you process in Phocus or Lightroom? Lightroom has a tendency to put too much blue in overcast skies. When I saw the photo I immediately thought "Lightroom blue!", but maybe I'm wrong :)
