Smashing light and tones.

Reminds of my pre Pentax 67ii days when I shot with a Mamiya C330F. Two of them, in fact (one with the final series of 80mm lens attached). Funnily enough, I used to shoot Delta with those bodies on occasion.
Thanks.

The body on this one is in good shape. And it's a well made camera. I also have a 180mm lens for it but it needs a CLA.

What a handsome shot, great subtlety of tones, use of symmetry and visual rhyming.

Very nice and full of impact. Initially I thought there is a drop of oil from the bottom of the bike, then I realized it is pure testosterone. I must say he's bike and clothes are fairly clean for a dirt bike champion :-)
thank you .... yes a clean looking MX Pro...
we set up the shoot before his practice session..

Detail of flowing water. Batiscan River. 645 FA 200 mm f/4 @ f/8 on tripod + 645Z

Winter is getting closer by the day. Cold water flowing over rocks in the Batiscan River. The 645 FA 200 mm f/4 lens is a terrific "Detail Extractor". Tripod assures utmost sharpness.

Great shots. About your last shot, however, how did that large rock get on top that way? Have you heard any theories, or is it even a single rock not adjoined to the ones below it?

We headed out early today to get the sunrise onto our local bay with a rocky shoreline and mountains in the background.

It was the glaciation 12 000 years ago that wreaked havoc with the landscape in North America, Ivan.

Wow!

Nice shot and such fertile ground for future photographs of the cycles of seasons, times of day (or night), and diverse weather conditions. I'd imagine the scene could be quite interesting under conditions such as a full moon (lit scenery with dark starry skies), with the first buds/flowers of spring, in snow, or with a flaming sky of sunrise/sunset.

Perhaps a polyptych of seasons or times could fill a wall with the timelessness of the passing of time. And it need not be the standard winter-spring-summer-autumn sequence. It could be a black-to-white series (from a dark moonlit leafless scene to sunrise spring to noon day foliage to snow-covered) or a monochrome-to-color series (from snow to the saturated colors of post-rain spring foliage).

I have not heard any info about this specific rock but the general area (about 14,000 acres) is of geological interest and is somewhat unusual for the region.
It's a granite ring dyke formation which as I understand it gets formed by an upwelling of lava/magma followed by erosion of the softer surrounding material.
What I suspect happened here is this used to be buried and over the millennia has eroded to reveal what we see. So the top rock may have been left there by chance when the surrounding soil washed and blew away. Or as Richard proposes it could have very well been glacial activity or maybe a combination of these forces. I'm not a geologist but I find it pretty interesting and like to know what I'm looking at, at least a little.

The problem with the GFX 100s is that they have so much resolution when you shrink them to web size, it looks like sharpening artifacts.

This is not 1) Volcanic rock (like we see in Grants, New Mexico) or 2) Sandstone (like we see in Arches Nat'l Park or Monument Valley, Utah). This looks like Granite and glaciers bulldozed and tumbled these very hard rock formations.

Volcanic rock crumbles and disappears over time, being light and porous. Sandstone is sculpted by wind erosion and by cycles of water freeze and thaw. It took enormous energy to move heavy Granite around.

Regards
