Medium format is insane. This is the DOF, 150mm, close range, f/4. Just quick conversion with rawtherapee and downscaled with gimp.

I mean … look!

Setting shit up…
Probably gonna fully automate RAW conversion into 16bit TIFF.
edit cause images…
Gonna sell a lens and had a little fun shooting it.

FANTASTIC...
If it weren't for the dust I'd say it's cgi!
That's impressive.
Love it!
What lens did you shoot this with?
@eidolonFIRE
The timing was perfect on this one. Focus too. My cousins often want me to photograph their kids, but I swear those kids are in a pact against me. It's almost impossible to get both a good focus and good composition with them. Well done sir!
It was shot on a Hasselblad H4D31 using the HC 80mm f/2.8 with a cheap Canon close-up lens. But none of that really matters here, this could have been shot on any camera. Even a somewhat decent point and shoot would produce basically the same image as long as you can put it into manual and trigger a flash.
That's a noice camera.
I'm still not ready to sell off my 35. Haven't tried the newer f2.0, still using the 1.4 and it serves me well for for now. But judging by what people are saying about the 2.0, I can understand why some are selling off their older 35s.
The 1.4 still makes me some "close enough" wallpapers though.
wow, very dramatic texture!
There really isn't that much difference between those two lenses. The new one is very quiet, can handle flares better and can focus more consistently (even in low light, which is odd but true). The old one is one stop faster and optically corrected instead of electronically. So with a 1st gen body you might actually be better off using the 1.4 because phase detection focus and electronic correction didn't exist in the X-E1 and X-Pro1.
Yeah I've got the Xpro1, so that's good to know, thanks.
Judging by the comments I've read online, I've noticed that there's a lot of people (among the older generations of semi-pro photographers) that don't understand firmware updates. The 1.4 had some major updates and even some people that I know personally have actually compared the non-updated 1.4 to the 2.0 which is just not fair.
@eidolonFIRE I loves muh textures :)
Just to show what I mean: here is another shot, this time out of the X-Pro1. And yes, I know, It’s not lit that crazy but that’s not the point.

One more, just for lolz.

I see what you mean now. Lighting really made all the difference for that first one. And it's not even about that light creeping on the sides nor is it about the sharpness.
The thing that did amaze me was the way one light (red or orange) got reflected as a sort of tan color when it hit the black surface, and the other (white/blue) really adds a flattering tactile effect on the focus ring. You can't see that effect on the second lens picture.
Ah, ok. Yeah, the use of complementary colors in lighting always looks good. And that goes for any kind of image, from a painting like a movie poster, a photograph right up to moving pictures in movies and shows.
The camera is shot using complementary colors as well. The background is orange and the kicker light on the left is slightly blue.
I sold my photoshop CS6 over a year ago and made this portrait kind of shot for it.
Great trick if you have something that is just a box.
You need a window in a white room, a flash, some string and gaffers tape.
(And you have to edit out the string afterwards.)

One more lens.
Now basically all my big lenses are gone and I have a kit small and light enough I could even travel with it.

Found this on Reddit. https://www.reddit.com/r/EarthPorn/comments/5ii20g/lightning_engulfs_a_volcanic_eruption_in_chile/
Camera has been down for a while now because the battery was starting to swell so I have to get a new one probably after Christmas. Anyway. some older photos.
