Another image with the Componon-S 150mm on my GFX/Universalis - late afternoon sun on a boardwalk across a wetland at Okarito on the South Island's West Coast (NZ). Forest in the background is rainforest dominated by podocarps, a southern genus that thrives in the 5+m of rain a year.

5+ m of rain a year ?

This is at low elevation near the coast - it gets close to 10m at higher elevation on the western flanks of the Southern Alps about 15 km to the east. I had a friend who was running a rainfall study up there using a standard meteorological funnel piped into a 44 gallon drum. He used to measure how much it collected every month, but one month when he went to measure it, the drum had overflowed, and he had no way of knowing by how much...

Yesterday's hike with some friends from Natuurfotografen Dijleland brought us to the "Mechelse Heide" (heath of Maasmechelen) ... Unfortunately, the sky was cloudy, and the light rather dull.
Still, I managed to get a few shots that I would call 'decent' ...

That's quite funny since I had exactly the same experience.

During the past few days, the storm Ernestco created high surf off the east coast, but here in Newport the weather was mostly overcast forcing low shutter speeds with moderate ISO's. I was looking forward to using my recently acquired Fujifilm 500mm lens with an extender, to add to my collection of surfing photos; but as we all know photography is mostly about light which was insufficient for the most part. Here is one that I liked with some help from photoshop

I love shooting at Mesquite Flat Dunes in Death Valley. I want to photograph the dunes again this January or February is there a better place in the US to photograph dunes?
This was a 2 image stitch from just after sunset.

Beautiful shot Greg. I have to visit those dunes one of these days.

Rodrigo, there are so many photographic opportunities in your part of the world it would be hard for me to choose!

My recently acquired Fujifilm 100S II with the 500mm lens and 1.4 adapter is useable for sports and wildlife photography.
While it does Not focus as quickly as a Sony A1 nor does it compete in frames per second, it is a lot lighter. The lack of reach as compared to the Sony 600mm with a 1.4 adapter is somewhat compensated by the additional megapixels.
While the Sony is a better tool for the job, my 85 year old arms struggled with the weight and bulk
TheFujifilm images are improved by the excellent stabilization devices in the camera and lens.

Is that a MF camera?

Is that a MF camera?

Sure is.

 

[Pieter 12]

Sure is.

I was thrown by the lack of the GFX designation.

The Port of Lyttelton, Canterbury NZ, photographed with a GFX100s, F-Universalis and Mamiya M 50mm ULD, two images shifted approximately +/- 7.5mm. I've explored a number of lighter-weight lenses in this focal length, but none come close to this for performance - a great lens in my view, despite its weight of nearly 1 kg.
