Spent the last two days in LA getting my trailer worked on. Unfortunately had to leave, but the wildflowers are really starting to bust out.

how did you mount the mamiya 110 on to STC? what shutter did you use?
I removed the lens cells from the Mamiya lens, mounted them in a Seiko #1 mechanical shutter (a unique sized shutter with front/rear threads of 42mm). Modified a helical and 3D printed a mount for it. Very sharp!

This is from 2013, we had much better fall color on Mt. Magazine. This is looking due south from near the summit.

Very nice Graham! Which IQ was that? I'm hoping the 160, but I have the feeling you meant the 250...
Thanks,
Bob

New IQ150 although I don' t think that the back really mattered. I would have expected the same image with the 260 actually. :thumbs:

If there was any difference it was that the live view made dialing in the tilt with the 150 SK easier but I'd have probably got there with 2-3 iterations of shoot/review. That said, it was MUCH easier being able to see things in low light in real time vs fuzzy view with the IQ260. I do miss the extra resolution though - it's subtle but different.

Well I'll be! I had not heard of this. Dante has been busy...
Thanks Graham,

Dante would be quite surprised, I hope, to learn that in 700 years he would be credited with the purchase of astonishingly magical equipment. Not as strange as "Pea Soup Euclid" I saw on the specials board of a cafe in Berkeley, but still. ;)

Oh, beautiful shot, Graham. Your work consistently says "Look what's out there! Get your stuff outside and use it!"

Shenzhen Bay bridge in Shenzhen Shekou area, China with Hong Kong just across the water.

Shot on the ALPA Max with Rodenstock 32 on the P45+ through a NISI 10 stop ND.

Fall on Richland Creek from 2014. Would have preferred a bit more water, but the colors were peak.



Taken with a IQ260, Rodenstock 28mm, in 3 vertical stitches. I cropped out the edges on both due to the vignetting caused by Rodenstock's internal IC marker, but still ended up with around 6mm of usable shifting.

Solar Eclipse Sky Dublin Bay
Alpa STC IQ180 SK90 15mm back fall
Very dull day thick cloud layer obscured sky over much of Ireland and Britain, disappointing very many eclipse watchers. But, just in case i planned where the sun would be, chose lens and tripod position on beach near my house looking toward Howth head (locals call the peaks "mountains"). Maximum eclipse time passed, just getting colder and gloomier, when I saw slight hints of blue sky to the east. Took a few test shots to the west to get reasonable exposure, then very briefly the cloud thinned just enough to glimpse the solar disc obscured by the moon. Challenging to secure a reasonable exposure balance, hole in cloud so bright against thick dark surrounds. tried BW conversion, of which I have little experience. C1 8
