Just playing with my collection of Mamiya 645 lenses and the Fotodiox Vertex adapter on a Sony A7c (Full spectrum converted) with a Kolari CC filter for normal RGB rendering. This is the Mamiya 150mm f/3.5 N, shot at f/16 and ISO 100. Four shots stitched in LR Photomerge for approx 62 MP file. The 35, 55, 80, and 150 mm lenses all performed quite well with this setup.

Two lobster boats unloading in the early evening at the 3T's lobster processing plant in Woody Point (Newfoundland)

Great shot! Those are seine net boats rather than traditional lobster boats, however. The seine net is used to catch fish such as herring, haddock, cod. The small boat at the back of the Margaret Elizabeth #1 is used to deploy the net. A lobster boat has an large, flat back deck on which many lobster traps can be stacked. The 3T's plant processes all kind of fish and lobster.

Here's are some fairly common lobster boats (pics from Nova Scotia, but the design is found all over the east coast).

Thanks John, also for pointing out my limited knowledge of the types of fishing boats on the Canadian east coast 😳 I didn't know 3T in Woody Point did more than just lobster, their advertising and local shop was lobster, lobster and more lobster (and maybe a little crab). I'll try to find a real lobster boat from this trip for my next post

One of the highlights of our recent vacation to Newfoundland was visiting the Tablelands in Gros Morne National Park on the west side of the island.

Geologically this is a very interesting area, formed about 500 million years ago when the tectonic plates of the earth crust of what now is North America and Africa collided and pushed a piece of the underlying earth mantle to the surface. The light brown rocks are serpentine and have a very high metal content which is poisonous for most plants, hence the very scarce growth, only a very limited number of plants can survive there. Pushing the earth mantle to the surface over the crust/tectonic plates only happened at four places, and this one is the only one which is relatively easily accessible. Also interesting is that when such a rock breaks the interior is dark green, over time water and air oxidise it to this brownish state.

1: On the left the "Eart Mantle" mountains with a very limited vegetation, on the right normal "Earth Crust" mountains with plenty vegetation

2: Still plenty of snow (we were early in the season)



3: The melting snow is filling many small steams



4: And creates waterfalls higher up the mountain



5: Another waterfall between the snow patches



6: A piece of recently broken serpentine (so not turned fully brown yet)

Took the Sony a7c FS with Vertex adapter and a Mamiya 55/2.8 N lens over to Sapsucker Woods for a few shots around the pond. Only problem was I switched lenses just before leaving for the shoot and forgot to bring the hot mirror filter. These shots are all uncorrected full spectrum.

Continuing the hike on the Tablelands from post 473 above

Reflection



Another little stream of meltwater



Outside of the trails it was pretty wet and swampy



The end of the official trail



A carnivorous plant (another way to stay alive when the soil is too poisenous)



Another survivor in these harsh conditions

After we finished this trail from post 478 and 473 and had lunch we went ~9 km further west to take the trail to "Green Gardens" but the first part of that still goes through an earth mantle moonscape, after that it becomes very green and lush.

The start of the trail to Green Gardens



Once in the forest we saw a waterfall



The beach at Green Gardens



The prevailing wind direction is obvious



We met a couple of sheep which also enjoyed the Green Gardens



Looking down on the beach
