I am working on a project "Transitions." I did this shot last month. Tomorrow, I go into the mountains for more nighttime work.

It's been a while since I've done a still life study (or any photographic study, for that matter), but the bounty from this morning's trip to the local produce market provided some inspiration.

Sake casks lining the entrance to the Meiju Jingu Shrine. This scene is seen all over Shinto temples in Japan, and not in Buddhist temples. I understand is an offering made by individuals or corporations. Known as kazaridaru, they are empty of sake, but full of spiritual significance.

What is interesting at Meiji Jingu is that the wall opposite this is lined not with sake casks, but with Bordeaux wine bottles/casks.

It was a gorgeous evening to take in the sunset over the Pacific Ocean from the foothills of Mt Tamalpais in Marin County, California, with Bolinas Lagoon in the foreground to the left.

I've lived in Chicago and the surrounding area for over 30+ years now, but haven't done a tour of Wrigley Field until today. Ran into a fellow medium format photographer from Indiana, we talked Fuji GF and Hasselblad X systems while hanging out in the Cubs dugout!

GFX 100S and GF 32-64.

Classic shots, Brandon!

I love the surreal feeling created by the use of long exposures in the landscape, as well as the compositional power they provide in terms of the ability to create leading lines out of nowhere. Here two images from the coasts of Brittany, in France, a destination I really love and I can't wait to go back to in early November!

Brandon, excellent b&w treatment of a subject made for b&w. I love it. And having lived in the Chicago area for 15 years, I'm still a Cubs fan. Which "recipe" did you use? One of the Fuji film emulations?

Thanks Joe! Shot in RAW, and using Capture One then applied the Acros profile.,. Usually Acros+G or Acros+R.. then brought into photoshop, where I used Lumenzia to do contrast curves on a set of dark / mid / light tone luminosity masks. Some minor dodging and burning on a couple to help direct the viewer's eye.

 

[nameBrandon]

Brandon, thanks for the detail. I had not heard of Lumenzia and had to do a Google search. Looks interesting. I have use the Tony Kuyper luminosity masking panels in the past but have been lazy lately.

Yep, the TK panel is another popular one. One of the reasons I like Lumenzia is that there's a pretty active FB group where the author participates, so easy to get questions answered and to learn tips/tricks. I'm pretty lazy myself, it's very powerful stuff, but I mostly end up using it for doing those contrast curves limited to specific 'zones' of the image, as opposed to an overall global contrast cruve.

I have long been in awe of (and in love with) Canada's north. In winter it can be quite desolate and I've been trying to capture that mood. Two shots from the shores of Hudson's Bay in November. Both with the XF and 240 mm. lens.

Always an inspiring thread! Some photos from today - this lovely butterfly came to stay long enough to do some glamour posing in the garden.

Three days after a flash flood at Buttermilk Falls the water flow is still dropping and the tourists have returned.

I was trying out a new technique - holding the camera at different heights. I was walking around with a RRS 1 series holding it up over my head with the camera on 2 second delay. Don't know why I'm saying that, because THIS shot was at eye level. The billionaire abominations in midtown. The one on the right is taller than the Empire State Building. I usually go for B&W, but the color and lighting was perfect as is. Leica S3, S24mm.
