Nice kit and the resolution that sensor (with those lenses) is capable of is going to keep you engaged for some time to come.

Puzzling why tedious gear bragging gets combined such ugleeee evidence of "user competence". No major efforts needed to clean up the mess. Quick fix using only a phone for editting is attached below.

I find it almost funny when people like you choose to be condescending and make up useless negative ish in a thread, in an attempt to dig a metaphorical hole for me - so they metaphorically stand over me and metaphorically shake their finger saying "nah, nah, nah-nah, nah" about one of my posts. Get a life.

In addition, how dare you edit one of my images without my permission!

Appears you imbedded just this comment in the thread;
"Is that green color on the buildings accurate? Kind of an ugly color."

The image in question is a stacked image at 3200 ISO color - at night. I have attached a stacked image at 64 ISO - today [not pretty green in daylight either

].

Did I miss other comments?

My Hasselblad X2D 100C combines features seen in both [my former] X1DII 50C, and the 907X bodies There were interest points for me upgrading to this camera body [still using the 'old' 21mm F4, 45P F4 and 65mm F2.8 glass w/ the X2D].

First, I usually carry my 21mm and 45mm lenses to a location [the 65mm stays home for studio work]. The 100MP sensor X2D lets me crop tighter on images without significant resolution reduction.

Second, We shoot events where I use the tilting screen to shoot 'on-the-fly' so to speak while covering the space.

Third, I am impressed with the color science paired with 15 stops of dynamic range where I can to capture true-to-life highlights and shadows with natural transitions using my X2D 100C. IBIS - shooting handheld at longer shutter speeds [up to 1.0 second for me is a nice to have.

Fourth, I am also liking the upgrade from a Contrast Detection sensor in the X1D II to an exceptional 294 Phase Detection autofocus over the 100-megapixel sensor in the X2D - that now gives me swift and accurate focusing.

[Icing on the cake is the 1TB SSD installed in my X2D]

So, my Hasselblad X2D 100C Medium Format is capable of exceptional handheld image clarity - a level of hand held image clarity I have never experienced with a digital camera.The Hasselblad 5-axis image stabilization system in the X2D provides up to seven stops of complete shake reduction. I have seen a fellow X2D user shoot handheld at up to 1.5 seconds without blur.

I like doing stuff like this;

Have attached a series of hand held images to visually describe how I process a single Hasselblad 200MB RAW image that is hand held for 1.0 second [which after my process - is reduced to a 5-8MB JPG image for share online. I am also sharing how I use Adobe LRC with AI Denoise - which has proven to be an excellent automated image enhancement. The computer system stacks images to enhance clarity, resolution and color depth. Works exceptionally well with RAW images produced with our Hasselblad X2D, Sony a9 and Sony a7III.

The posted image was shot with;
Hasselblad X2D 100C camera
Hasselblad 45P lens
Aperture: f/8
ISO 3200

Want to try a sample landscape at ISO 64, f/22 and however long it takes to expose on a tripod - should weather permit tonight.

Image Processing Tool Update - 2023 16-inch MacBook Pro [M3 Max]

You can't even imagine how jealous you just made me!!

Had to do it. Image processing time multiplied exponentially with the X2D image size.
