I hate to do this, but I like the image a lot, and wanted to show you my version. The sky is not as nice but I like the neutral look in the building and grass.

Simplify,

You can start by selling your P45+ and start shooting 8x10 negative film if that lovely creamy feel you seem to enjoy in Soth's work is what you are after. Now don't be surprised  when you see the film at 200% as we are used to doing so with digital cameras and then you start to question why there is not as much detail/info as Jim's nice shot of the train station. Digital just has that sterile(clinical) quality to it. This is the same as HDTVs versus HQ tube equivalents as they tend to show way too much info and the brightness level can be a eye sore at times.

Print it them both and that's another story. The 8x10 will just feel nicer not better these are just the properties of a Large Format film.
*


Oscar, to some point I agree with you, digital seems to have too much information or better put it seems less messed up in the way it records information.

I think that's where a lot of us see dgital as more clinical, then again I think some of our asthetics are changing.

Read any forum about photography and somebody will always bring up noise. Now go scan any film in any format pushed a stop and look at the shadow "noise" and l if it was a digital capture it would get raked over the coals.

I can't. won't comment on Alec Soth's work, other than to say I like a lot of it and it's his or anyone's choice to shoot with any camera they see fit.

Then again, I know through a lot of experimentation that with some work, almost any decent digital capture can be made to emulate almost any film. Whether that work is worth the effort or not is up to artist.

But can you tell me of these images which is digital and which is film?






You know me and might be able to, but for the people that hire me, it's never been a thought what film, digital, camera or format I shot with.

At least not in the hiring stage.

JR

P.S. For the record, I love the Detriot train station shot, both variations.

Hi
Great shot!! On a second note how are you finding the 28 mm Mamiya lens?
Denis
haefnerphoto
Denis, I use the lens all the time, both in my automotive work and my architecture. It exhibits a little barrel distortion (generally fixed in ImageAlign, slider at 14) and the edges are not perfectly sharp. Those issues really aren't a problem for me and honestly, I don't know what I'd use in it's place. Jim
Jann Lipka
Jim ,
Are you using Image Align also for perspective correction ?
It looks like this application from Grasshopper is dicontinued ....

Mamiya 645 afdII, P30+,  105-210mm @ 210mm, f/32, 2 second exposure, 100 iso. Used a Singh-Ray blue and gold polarizer for the color. Fog and light rain making everything flat and gray.
This was at Bridal Veil Falls in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon, last Sunday morning.

Jann, I use PS3 for perspective control and ImageAlign for barrel distortion correction. Unfortunately, the software is no longer available and so far I've found nothing that does quite the same thing. Jim

Hi all!

Just a couple of words about myself - I'm an amateur photographer owning a 5D.
This weekend I decided to try out the Mamiya ZD camera in order to see this
mystic 3D look myself, coming out from medium format cameras.

Edit: I'm pretty serious about photography, this is not a joke.

The start was somehow confusing, the camera felt really slow. As I used the
Mamiya ZD for the first time I had no idea what is the output, I couln't get any
feedback from the camera. But when I got back to home, I was speechless
looking at the images. They were great .. very very great. What a camera!

one light, LR cold tone only applied + couple of dustspots removed -


no changes other than resize for the following snaps:






Cheers,
Ivar

Just returned from Alaska (10,231 miles); busy loading images into studio computer but wanted to share these two images, all taken with Mamiya 645 AFD II and P30+. The Big Horn Sheep was taken at the Bison National Range in Montana with a 300mm lens and the lake image is Summit Lake, British Columbia Canada with a 28mm.

After nearly 60 days on the road it's great to be home.

Thank you very much.
Shot on a tripod. I almost aways use small apertures and low ISOs, so handheld with the H3D is not really an option. Paid a lot of money for all those pixels.[G]
