Fun with MF images 2021

[dj may]

Jesse, your hard work, dedication and amazing ability to capture such images leave me without words.

The images are superb and render me almost breathless as I pour over them. Beautiful!

Thank you for sharing. The next time I grumble about getting out of bed at 3am to drive to our neighborhood lake two miles away for a pre-dawn photo session, I will bite my tongue and try to imagine what your Transitions project must have required of you. Wow.

Thank you for the kind words, Dave.

This lemongrass plant, in a pot on my deck, was whipping around on a windy day. As an old studio photographer, I am used to working methodically, making just a few exposures after fussing over the scene for an hour or more. Not this time. Those blades of grass were moving so quickly that I could just see enough to know there were some beautiful shapes taking place within fractions of seconds. I shot about a dozen images. This one was 1/500 @ f8, Zeiss Sonnar Superachromat CFi 250mm, Phase One IQ-160 back on a Hasselblad 503CW.

I have lemongrass, too, but only inside. Outside this week was -18 C. Now better with -5 C.

The S3 is back from Germany! So instead of a cat, you're getting the roast chamber of an Ikawa Home fluid bed (AKA popcorn popper) roaster. Ok, this and popcorn poppers are both *examples* of fluid bed roasters. The heat comes from hot air rather than, say, from a hot drum, open flame, frying pan, or heat gun. (Don't laugh - the heat gun and dog food bowl coffee roasting is a venerable technique). Anyway, S120/2.5 Macro focused on the vents at the bottom of the roasting chamber.

So much better than a cat...

(I don't know why, but the phrase "from soup to nuts" popped into my head...)

I have to say that my wife loves Soup. A lot. A recent image of an uninterested Soup brought much happiness to our household.

Coincidentally, it's a balmy 23 F (-5 C) at this moment here in west central New Hampshire, too. We're setting high temp records for this time of year.

Morning walk today, bright morning. Trying to learn to see in B&W again after many years (and film at that). Obviously not there yet . But kicking the tires on a new to me IQ3100 Achromatic (only driven to church on Sundays, thanks @Steve Hendrix! ). Cropped 45mm BR / XF. Yesterday's was on a Cambo w/ 40mm Digaron-W. I had to use the IQ4 to open the aperture on the lens (X-shutter). Tedious but I don't tend to change aperture too much so once set, I'm generally good.

More of my morning walk. IQ100 Achromatic. Colorado winter colors tend towards brown, along with blue skies. I'm looking forward to trying some different filters (this was just the UV/IR cut filter).
