Congratulations to vieri for winning Feature Thread of the Week with 9 votes - View Previous Winners
Hello everyone, and apologies for the long absence - I have been extremely busy these last months, both with the usual stuff and especially with the preparations for a new step in my photographic journey: going back to analog, and in particular to 4x5" black & white photography. I have been working exclusively with this setup for the last month during our fall Workshop season, and I am loving it! But, results will start to be ready next year when I'll be back home and will be able to develop, scan and process the film.
In the meantime, I thought I'd share my latest developed Portfolio, shot last year with my Phase One IQ4 Achromatic and Alpa 12 STC and dedicated to the Pacific Northwest of the USA! The Portfolio is over 60 photographs strong, here's a few photographs for you:
You'll find the rest on my website, here: THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST: A PORTFOLIO
Comments are as always very welcome. Enjoy! Best regards,
Vieri

My heart beats faster when I see images taken with a PhaseOne. These are excellent and something to strive for. Thank you for sharing these with us.

I went back and re-read your first post on this thread: I wasn't familiar with it so I visited the ALPA 12 STC website. Now I'm completely blown away and can see how the Alpa coupled with the PhaseOne back can create such images.
Curious, though, the detail from the near-front to the horizon on your first two images is sparkling clear (I can stare at the second for hours!) - with a setup like this do you have to stack images in post to get this detail? Thanks again, I've always enjoyed your posts.

Hey Al,
thanks for your reply and kind words - yes indeed, the Alpa 12 STC is a wonderful machine. About your question, that camera comes with a tilt adapter that you can use with any of your lenses; thanks to tilt, I am able to get near-far compositions perfectly in focus without the need for focus stacking (which while I know of in theory, I never used in my life so I actually wouldn't know where to start with it
)
Thanks again! Best regards,
Vieri
