Marc,
I would like to ask you about the RZ67 Pro IID. I was contemplating this rig as a starting point for jumping into MFD. The secondhand market for these seems reasonably priced and I heard nothing but raves over the lenses. What would the advantages be of this system over say a Hassy 503CW with the AE prism and Grip?

Bill, I like the color on this one but I think for me the contrast between the sharp textures of the outside frontage and the soft tonality on the inside is what really makes this image.Another from the Maritime provinces. P65+, 55 LS.
At risk of sounding picky I would have to crop to correct the window tilt and certainly would have done my utmost to have the bag removed before capture, but nevertheless it's a fine image.
OK, I'll bite.what?nobody commented on Jim's abstractions?
Bob, I think this shot is beautiful. Well done.Jenni Farm Late Afternoon

Works. I have a feeling that good composition makes a good photo even if the composition is only of colours, shapes, etc.OK, I'll bite.
The success of 'abstracted' images often depends on the degree of abstraction.
It could be that the images would have been more successful had they been either less or more abstracted. Less would have resulted in figurative abstraction and more in pure abstraction. At the moment these images lie between the two.
Here's an image from a series that I made sometime ago. The aim was to create an image that again falls between figurative and pure abstraction. I swing between thinking it works and thinking it doesn't.
Bill, as far as I can see the window and the tiles are tilted at the same angle which led me to believe that the tilt was probably slight misalignment of camera rather than subject. Of course it could be that both tiles and window were tilted! It's probably just me, but I find slight misalignments rather irritating and yet celebrate the wildly misaligned.Keith, you bring up an interesting quasi-ethical issue! The fact is, the bag was there and so it got recorded. In fact there was no way I could have had it removed - but would I have if I could have? Probably not - my view is that I should record what "is", not what I'd like to see!
As for straightening the window, the same thought applies. If it really was tilted, that's the way it should be recorded, IMHO. In this case I'm not sure if it really was or whether it was a lack of proper alignment on my part. I'll revisit the image (which was cropped to show here) to see if the tilt was "real" or "me"!
Ben, thanks, but I'll probably carry on swinging both ways!Works. I have a feeling that good composition makes a good photo even if the composition is only of colours, shapes, etc.
