From one of those assignments where a mistake ends up as the final pick (here, a lab scan at the wrong resolution conveyed a desired tension that the correctly-scanned make-good lacked):

[Contax 645, Planar 2.0/80, f/2@1/60, TMY, Noritsu QSS-29_31, three iterations of equalize-normalize with ImageMagick convert utility under SunOS 5.8 (Unix)]

But (and a big butt) ... back then it was not a competition, like it has become now. Photographers were *selected* as Hasselblad Masters.

Quite different i would say.

excellent...very interesting...

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.

Ron

hey Ron - I know those falls! - I'm from Portland - nice image.

RE: contests - just another reason to contact clients and potential clients to let them know what you've been up to and the accolades you have earned!

AND as JP said - tons of exposure for a very nominal entry fee if you are honored...

Taken at the South Rim Grand Canyon December 2007.

Cute dog, Bob. Mine is not so normal. Duffy the Bull Terrier and friend---last Christmas, December '07. Mamiya 645AFD, 55-110, F/8 at 1/60 with Phase P30.

The dog is nice, but the friend is scrumptious.

Intresting to see some recent work from members here, good stuff. Here is a recent seria I did on my H2 :

Hey, who let you in my house?

Nice work. Detail must be incredible with the 4 frame stitch.

Yeah- thanks Nicolas, there is that much detail a vet could perform a dental examination on the mounted Leopards!

From last night, after clients left.
My studio is heated by a wood stove and to make the air not so dry I keep a large old wok on top filled with water...I boil things in it for weeks, boil dry, add more water, boil dry, add more water...everything in it turns a shiny black. When the composition is right I shoot it and start another. Been doing this for a few winters now.
This is Yerba Mate, Genmai Cha tea, various citrus peels, a whole banana and some small broken pieces of Eucalyptus bark.

Don't want this thread to die as it's fun seeing the great works of others.

I'm working on a couple images for our new website and came across this one that was shot June 6, 2007 at 4 p.m. 1/460 at f/3.5 with a 35mm lens. The camera was my Mamiya AFD II but the back was the loaner P30 that I had while I was waiting for my P30+.

It always impressed me how an artist can give the client what he wants and still tag on his own opinion

Edmund

Model casting for a men's magazine this past Sunday. Sorry that this is not like the typical nature and landscape images that most of you guys submitted.

The last assigments for this client ended up with smiling people.

I`m glad I brought home something different this time.

Client is happy, thoug. And this is the picture that changed my client´s opinion about digital photography: from now on, I can always work digitally and don´t have to torture myself with my drumscanner.

Bernd

No problem. I can see the mountains and valleys.

Bernd

(Edited: Noone laughing? Maybe I´m coming to my limits as a non native english speaker...hills and valleys? Never mind.)

Really didn’t known if I wanted to put this in recent works or the 28mm lens thread –

Here’s fast down and dirty beach shot from this afternoon. It was later afternoon when Ken got us here and of course it was raining. I did a small amount of workup on the image but more than likely missed a few rain drops… Mamiya AFD II 28 mm lens ISO 100; 1/5 at f/32.

That is excellent!

It makes me sad to post these as I just sold the camera/back and lens that shot these...

hassy 2000FCW +H20, 50mm f2.8 "F" lens.... shot wide open.

and some of my favs from this cam same setup....

Barman at my local

Edmund

Is the barman image a full frame or cropped image.

I find the 'posterized' noise in the extreme dark areas very 'present',regardless
of what iso setting was used

Mark

This image has been very strongly postprocessed, PS shadow/higlight and custom channel mixer BW conversion, and quite a bit cropped, and started out as something like ISO 1250 to boot ... I like the noise and weird look. If people here want, I can post the Raw. I do agree the shadows are blocking up a bit fast.

Edmund

Thanks for the extra info,Edmund.
I don't need a Raw file.

Was more curious how the image got to that point and you provided enough details.

Thx,
Mark
