Your new GF 20-35 f/4 looks to be working out well for you, Dan, great documentary work, and I always enjoy your historical commentary. The B&W contrast works especially well with your Arcadia shot!
The "Arcadia mansion's barn.

Those are snow flurries not "dirt".

I like your unique vintage edit, Dan, this is already a historical document. Stay warm in the snow flurries! I may be checking out a "Polar Plunge" event tomorrow morning in Anchorage, Alaska with the 100sii 250mm, maybe the 100 with Mitakon 65mm for fun, and will need to bundle up too!

Many thanks "Double K!"
Be VERY careful of that "polar plunge brother"! As George sez on "Seinfeld" maximum shrinkage" and not to mention frozen unmentionables!!
The vintage look here worked well. The property has many barns and buildings and I have been working on them but will post them without a "look".
I was out today in really cold temps but I love the cold and had fun! The GF20-35mm is a great lens!
Yeah we are expecting 1-3" from Saturday night into Sunday. These "Alberta clippers" as the weather people call them...have dumped much of the "white stuff" all around me. Good! We usually are the area that is digging out all Winter.

"Windswept"...an aluminum-over-wood sculpture along Carroll Creek. For me, the sculpture has to be seen from all angles to be appreciated. Sculpted by Svend Bue Rondum,

How did you do the conversion to B&W, or did you use a Film Sim
Scott@"Mich", I had a helluva a time converting the image in NIK Silver Efx Pro because the blue would not render a good image in the conversion using Adobe B&W or Mono.
I chose a "template" and used a filter to bring out the lettering. The lettering was the problem in the conversion. It ,lettering, was always too bright and blended into the buildings color.
I had to fine tune the letters to "stick out".
Thanks!

I agree this is an interesting B&W conversion, Dan, and am also curious how you post-processed. Nicely done!
Thank you "Double K"!
I tried to convert the raw file in ACR/Br using Adobe Mono or B&W. I just couldn't get the letters to stand out enough in b&w.
I have the NIK Collection which includes it's B&W converter, Silver Efx Pro(v.7).
It was only when I selected one of the "templates" ,with adjustments on the letters, did the file start to look ok.
In talking to the buildings owner, he said the original 1927 building was blue but not this lighter shade of blue.
Thanks!

From this morning. GFX100s ii and GF20-35mmF4 R WR
“Guess,” a classically-rendered cast iron greyhound, is a replica modeled after a marble sculpture originally carved by an American artist in 1839 while living in Florence, Italy. Supposedly, the young girls who lived at the house following the Civil War named the sculpture “Guess” as a joke in response to anyone who asked about the dog’s name.

Maryland was and is noted for its "Trotters". My local fairgrounds has a dirt horse track and some trotter racers were out Wednesday! Now these were shot very surprised by me and my eqpt. So I didn't expect a good image...The trotter prances around the track very well and speedy.

Nice work Dan, you've done the impossible of focusing on a moving object with a Gfx! The first one looks like a vintage photo and is especially nice. I also really like the Robin in the previous post. I love little "easter eggs" that are not initially noticeable in photos then when you see them, its suddenly impossible to not see.

Thanks Steven but I knew I was "playing with fire" trying to track the trotter with a WA lens. This was all unexpected so I tried it...
Now the robin!!!!! I HAD to move my van up 3 parking spaces because the robin dotted my windshield with a "Christmas" gift and I had to move anyway to get the shot of the Rectory. It has been frigid here and the robin was a REAL surprise. Robins usually leave Maryland in July-August.
Thanks!
Dan
