Been out roaming around for the last 3 months so not much time to sort images and share them. I really enjoy the work of many of the members and so like to contribute as well.

Here is my image of the dead - well almost dead (just a couple of branches were holding onto life), supplejack tree near Charleville Queensland.

IQ180, 645DF, 55mm lens - a number of images merged and a bit of a tweak.

This would be a great illustration of consciousness just before sleep: one foot in the real world, one in dreams.

I have been reading a book by Iain McGilchrist - The Mater and his Emissary - so I have been exploring both my dreams and my non-logical - non-sequential view of the world.
This has taken me back to drawing and painting as a way of exploring my view of the world I live in.

So your comment is pretty much right on the money.

Thanks for taking the time to share your observations.

Mal, that image is begging to be printed on a nice water color paper...

I thank you for the suggestion. I will certainly look into this. At present I am not doing my own printing but I feel your suggestion is a very good one.

Being an IQ180 image - the detail which throbs beneath the initial impression of vapour and swirls is what adds the depth to the image in full size.

I will talk with my printer about what's involved.

Thank you so much for adding value to this series of images.

Light painting
Cambo AE, 23 mm Rodi, 45+. Three images
I took a night image in the town of Deal (UK) and it had the same feel as your image - now your image becomes a surrealistic streetscape when I view it.

I find it very exciting when an image straddles two realities and yours does it for me so effortlessly. The suitcase also has lots of metaphorical nuances which is maybe a key part of the process.

Thank you Mal

I enjoy light painting for the same exact reason. I think spending time making the image make you connect with the photo as well beside the fact you show and/or manipulate reality by a flash light.

I was down on Oslo this last thursday/friday , launch party for a book illustrated with my photography amd then a visit to my dealer... to pic up my new EOS-1Dx (no its not replacing my medium format gear, its replacing my loyal nearly 6 year old 1DsmkIII) Now what this got to do with MF you may ask... well They had a HCD24mm f4.8 on the shelf... and I walked out with it in my backpack! (ON LOAN) to try out... All I can say is as Steppenwolf once said.... God damn the pusher man! I had a long hard look at the 1Dx I had just bought.... hmm same price... NO NO NO! but boy this lens is going to be my next H lens... just need fill up my account again first :)
Shot today H4D-40 HCD24mm wide open f4.8 1/500 iso 100

The HCD 24mm will probably hold its value better than the 1DX.. :)

hehe, indeed! But realistically the 1Dx will earn more money than the HCD24mm (and will probably help pay for the 24mm (because it really is an amazing piece of glass that I will no doubt get in the end)) so its head over heart here... sometimes I have to let my business head rule the roost :(

I had this same problem early this year, go MF, or get a 1Dx and a 24-70 II? I messaged Doug about getting a Phase, but things changed and I needed the high ISO and speed, so maybe next year...

Great pics though, keep em coming! :thumbs:

Seeing aeaemd's IQ260 Achromatic shot above prompted me to post this one.

Kodak DCS645M back @ ISO100, Mamiya 645AFD, 45/2.8 "S" lens (IIRC) @ f/11 or f/16

IR780 Cokin-P type filter.

2 handheld shots on Aperture Priority with -3 stops compensation, giving 1/125 sec for the lower part and 1/180 sec for the upper part.

Auto-stitched in Hugin.

Thanks :)

If and when you make the jump to MF you will just love it... but MFD and 35mm are two different beasts, I need both- With my canon gear I can do stuff that I cannot do with the Hassy and vice versa...

More 24 :) This was a quick hand held shot out of the 4th floor window of NRK entertainment looking out over the NRK complex... (NRK: think BBC)

H4D-40 HCD24mm @f13 1/125

Software geometric correction is turned off here by the way....
