In July I had the good fortune to attend a Phase One "PODAS" workshop in Ireland. We had the opportunity to shoot with the Phase One XF medium format camera and their digital backs. One afternoon I did some shooting with the IQ260 Achromatic back. Attached are a few of my favorites ( I only took a handful of shots with the achromatic back - the colors were too tempting so I switched to a color sensor!). The images were processed in Capture One, then Photoshop/Topaz B&W2.

Wonderful black and white seascapes with plenty of depth and wonderful composition. As a PP guy, though, I really like the digital wizardry you used on the final image. I have a bias where I like my images to be recognizable for what they are, but with an effect that transforms it, ever so slightly, into something a bit more mystical. Your's did that just fine.In July I had the good fortune to attend a Phase O... (show quote)

Thanks, Bob. The last image is a 40" exposure, which helps create the "mystical" effect. Used a Lee 10 stop ND filter to get that exposure in a relatively sunny afternoon.

Those are grrrrreat! What I love is the what-I-still-call print quality. As an old B&W guy I look for and appreciate looooong scale! Clearly the medium format sensor has the edge, just as in film. My personal favorite is no. 2, for its strong foreground interest - just directs the eye right around the coastline. I don't actually care for no. 3 but it's a purely personal thing; I don't care for a lot of long-exposure stuff, and it's just me. I do feel constrained to point out that that one has a cattywampus horizon, but that's an easy fix.
