I drive by this church at least once a week and have always wanted to stop and shoot it.. Well, today was the day.

love the composition and great job on the B&W processing.
How are you liking the Laowa 17mm.
Thank you ! And for the Laowa - well, the jury is still out, but I'd say: it's pretty, pretty wide ...
However, in short; overall good sharpeness, stretched to 11mm there's some correctable vignetting and despite it's Zero-D designation there's a bit of distortion.

Kind regards.
it is quickly becoming one of my favorite lens on the GFX. I try not to shift past 9 and find it much better than using the Canon 17mm TSE adapted.
Some shots from my last two trips to Ricketts Glen State Park this spring (the first trip was a washout due to rain, but I at least hit Adams Falls). The second trip was much better weather wise, but a little too much water on Kitchen Creek.

My mind and body have slowly synced up with Texas time after the expedition to the North Pole. Not only did we hit our target at precisely 9:02 am on May the 9th, exactly the time Admiral Byrd is purported to have reached 90 Degrees North, but we set three world speed records in the process.
The Hasselblad performed flawlessley capturing several handheld exposures in the middle of the night from 1 to 3 seconds long. The Canon R5II was also a great companion to my Swedish masterpiece.
Navigation get's very wonky at the top of the world and the last image shows the stark reality of our expedition, we were several thousand miles from the nearest emergency runway. Thankfully, the entire trip went smoothly and our undercast broke at the perfect moment to reveal the frozen seascape at 90 Degrees. The first landscape image is Spitsbergen Norway, the point where Admiral Byrd departed in a 1926 Fokker Tri-Motor on skis. The last image is 90 Degrees North, captured at FL360. We had to descend from FL410 because the air temperature at that altitude risked turning our fuel to gel.
Castillo de San Marco National Monument
Did a quick rv trip over to St Augustine Florida with the intention of shooting a black and white image of the Fort.
