This picture demonstrates the image quality provided by the lens HC 3,5/50 II equipped with the Macro Converter H even when used wide open. The full aperture is important to get nice blur over the water.
My high-speed story with dragonflies is now live on the Hasselblad web site :

Cn you give us a hint of the exposure time, ISO, f-stop etc? Thanks.Grand Falls, Navajo Nation
GFX-50R, 23mm
Arizona's largest waterfall, located in the Navajo Nation, is seasonal and runs reliably only during the spring melt of snow from Northern Arizona's mountains. It is 600 feet wide and 186 feet tall. Since it runs through the desert it picks up a lot of sediment giving it it's muddy or chocolaty appearance. On Monday, I made the 8 hour round trip in hopes that it would be running strong after several very warm days. I was not disappointed...

Capture time is actually 19:17 because the Navajo Nation observes daylight savings time where the rest of the state of Arizona does notThe exif data are contained in the linked file:

Many thanks for your feedback.Ghislain,
Welcome to the forum!!! AND thank you very much for sharing your images with us. They are fantastic!:thumbs:
Your work was presented by Hasselblad, and I was stunned and very happy to see it.
Your work is inspiring in ways you do not yet know. The past five years, we have been involved with the Rehabilitation Hospital at Emory University as patient (my wife) and support (pro bono Portraits of Healing for other patients), and the experience was profound because it all started after six years of frustration with healthcare professionals at other facilities who had no idea what they were doing, but, one person, her OT therapist, continued to show us both that there are lessons to be learned in nature. Her therapist is an avid lover of dragonflies and uses them as an example of "always moving forward, never backward", a lesson that most suffering from trauma, disease and strokes have to learn to pull them out of depression and begin the lifelong journey of rehabilitation.
I will send her a link to your work. I know she will enjoy seeing those images and sharing them with other patients.
