Last night I had a photo meetup with @Ray Harrison photographing the area around the Denver Art Museum. When we started the sky was overcast, but as dusk came around it ended up being quite nice.
This first image was made with the Rm3di + HBLD 100C + 50HR (about 20mm of camera fall and 10mm shift). Originally, this image was meant to be a vertical stitch of two images, but I decided to just keep the top half because the bottom of the scene was quite cluttered with construction, piles of snow, signage, etc. An LCC reference file was created, but I didn't end up using it.

This second image was made with the GFX 100 II and 30mm TS (Direction 300° Shift 11.1mm). Since this is just a single image, I cleaned up some of the random stuff in the bottom half of this one.

Last week we had one of those mornings when it is foggy and ice is covering the trees. I don't make black and white images that often, but the color image was almost completely monochromatic so I decided why not.
If you look closely, you'll notice that the tree is in focus, the right side near is in focus, and the left side far is in focus. I'd like to claim I planned it this way, but when I made this picture I was still learning how to attach lenses to the Rm3di camera. If you don't line up the mount with the camera right it will go on crooked.
Arca Swiss Rm3di + Hasselblad 100C + APO Digitar 150N (Two images, 15mm left/right stitch, merged in Lightroom.)

Ok, I've got a couple more. Sorry for posting them all at once.
This image is the chimney for The Great Western Sugar Company in Windsor, Colorado. It's been a while since the sugar factory has been operating, but the chimney is still an icon of our town.

This is my last one for today. The Kodak Colorado Division is also located in Windsor, Colorado. At one time they employed around 2,000 people. Kodak is still making single use cameras here. A family friend works in the shipping department and he says that they ship out pallets of them everyday. It is quite an interesting area so I'm planning on going back for more…

Pieter, you might be better suited to answer that. It's most certainly not. The processing of the raw image is in fact fairly light. Was just a lovely morning.
FWIW, here is an unedited [SOOC] iPhone JPG—quality and size both set to 'medium' for the export—taken about 15 minutes before the image above was taken with the Phase:

I'm sorry. The prevalence of AI has me doubting everything I see now online.

I get it. No apologies please; not necessary. I like to think everyone here, even when we sometimes go down a rabbit hole or even get cantankerous [!
], is acting in good faith. Personally, AI doesn't bother me. It's just another art form from my POV, and I have seen quite a bit that I actually liked. But it's not my art form.Penerf

My rescue orchid is plugging forward on opening blossoms ... #5 opened late Sunday and was ready to photograph yesterday. #6 just opened this morning ... Have to get the camera out again. And #7 will likely be in a day or two.
From a nearly dead stick to a beautiful flowering orchid, it makes me happy.

There was an Instagram post about a set of photographs in a Super Bowl ad that were accused of being AI (they were not). The commentator remarked on how similar AI images looked to some of the most expensive photographs from artists like Gregory Crewdson known for elaborate staged landscapes. It was not lost on the author that some of the cheapest and some of the most expensive images now looked the same.
Here is the Instagram post (I hope the link works): Instagram: the look of extreme artificiality
