Are we taking ourselves too seriously on this forum?
Time (in my view) for a new "fun With..." thread ;D

Beautiful, but you might want to get that Swan's Neck checked out :)
Here's my contribution.

That is brilliant. Very interesting subject too. what a fascinating city. So intricate and elaborate on a flat piece of sand....

Great shot. I last visited Dubai a couple of years ago. I took only a few shots, nothing as good as this though!

Hello gerald.d
I think we meet together on a show case about Hamdan Bin Mohamed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum International Photography Award. Are you one of the representative of hipa.ae ?

Hi - I don't think we met. I'm not a HIPA representative :)
Kind regards,
Gerald.

Great image.
I want to know how long it took your computer to stitch 70 IQ180 files together. Did you hit the go button right before heading off to vacation?

I stitched it many, many times as I had to make loads of manual adjustments, but sadly no vacation between each go :)

that is one amazing image. After looking at the full-size, I have to sit somewhere as the vertigo is still affecting me. But wow... what a photo.

Hi,
I guess this: (http://wap.bild.de/bild/json.bild.de/servlet/json/wap/28561512.html (http://wap.bild.de/bild/json.bild.de/servlet/json/wap/28561512.html) is you as well? Just saw it. I think it is the biggest German newspaper😃
-
Impressive shot. What lens and stitching software did you use?
This was the 35mm and I used CS6's built in stitching.
Used a Lee filter polarizer and a couple of Grad ND's. I know it looks a little HDR but it isnt.
Took several whilst I was on holiday last week:

Chris,
I don't have the 35mm. I use the 50mm HC Mk.II which I think is my sharpest Hassy lens ( much better than the old design) and the 28mm but for stitching, I now use an entirely different solution, a Sigma DP2 Merril, which is very compact and gives superb quality. I won't post examples here as its the wrong thread for that. I have stitched using the H4D-50 in the past. I will post one I did a while back shortly.
Nice work though ;D

Thanks Quentin. As a travel lens I like the 35 as on a 35mm it's around 24mm equiv and I never like to go wider than that, I have the 50mm MK1 which tbh I haven't used enough to be bothered with, for some reason I never shoot at 35mm equiv. Weird.
How is the Merril, it seems a nice price for such a high resolution compact.

The Merrill is a life changer. I have both the DP1m and 2m, and will get the DP3m when it emerges. The Hassy is superior, obviously, but not by as much as you'd expect. When I went on a photographic vacation for a week to Morocco last November, I took just the Merrills, a NEX -7 (which I hardly used) and left the Hassy at home. Used the Merrills for stitched work, including interiors. I know I said I would not post a Merrill shot here, but it is relevant for comparison purposes, and anyway, this is a "fun" thread so here is a link to one of the stiched shots (warning: large file!).

LIKE!

Sure, Johannes ??? ;D

It is very very easy to get what you want. Just say: "Fun with sensors which have an orthogonal sensor layout and linear response". This rules film out. AND you could add: "Sensor must be bigger than 24x36 mm." This rules 35 mm out.
Best,
Johannes
Whatever... *sigh*. Or focus on the word "fun" and stop fretting....
-
Johannes,
We dub thee Count Infinity :)
Edmund
I will never stop to explain: film is DIGITAL because you can count the individual grains. You can use a microscope to confirm this easily. Everything you can count is digital. The differences between film and sensor are:
- Film grain is randomly distributed and responds in a logarithmic way to light.
- Sensor sensels are regularly distributed and respond in a linear way to light.
Consequently you are under the headline and can continue to post images taken with a HP5+ "sensor".
I wrote it recently in an other thread here: There is no analog in this world we know of. Everything can be counted. Sometimes the numbers a just very big.
Best,
Johannes

Forget the word "digital" in the thread title. Make it "fun with medium format". It makes more sense to be democratic.

Sandymouth: H4D-50, 28mm HCD lens

Quentin,
Excellent depth and fidelity - this is a very nice image. You are making good use of the 28. Mine was returned today after a "checkup", so now I have to catch up.
Ed
-
Thanks, Ed, but what was the problem with yours? I purchased mine used in a private sale. It's a good lens. And this is actually a two image focus stacked shot. I wanted to kept the sand pin sharp along with shoreline. I have made the mistake in the past of trying to stop down too far with diffraction issues.....
-
Quentin,
The crispness of the lens was not quite what I thought it should be, so while this body and lens were still under warranty, I wanted to have it checked. Sure enough they found that the sensor was a "titch" off. We'll see how it performs tomorrow.

For my second ever shot with MFD, a cover album for a swedish rock band, i have some things i need to composite in as details in the background. Because its a baby as a dictator - We came up with the idea of having a painting with the babys head in the background.
This is originally a painting of a Swedish king some hundred years ago, the head i just took from one of the shots that didnt get used for the artwork.
All done in about 25 minutes to get everything looking decent.
