The Black Diamond

September 23, 2013 in Photography

Last Friday I was in Copenhagen for a one-day workshop with the danish architect and photographer Adam Mørk. The workshop was organized by ALPA and Photografica, and we got to try a range of ALPA cameras. The image here is taken with a 12STC hooked up to the FPS module, a Rodenstock lens (I forgot to make a note of which one, but I guess it was a 40mm focal length) and a PhaseOne IQ180 back. The low quality JPEG here does not convey the image quality, but trust me, the level of detail captured by this package is stunning.

Vik Church revisited

January 28, 2013 in Photography

Here is another shot from the Iceland PODAS workshop. I posted an image of Vik church on 6 December last year. It was taken from a different angle and with an 80mm lens. This is taken with a 300mm lens, and the impression is quite different. The narrow angle of view of the telephoto lens "compresses" the image; most of the hillside behind the church can also be seen in the image I posted on 6 December.
