I typically don't like photos with no foreground interest, but this image was a breath of fresh air compared to my images facing the other way towards the high peaks. The foreground in the others is, well, chaotic! Although this place is very beautiful, getting a clean composition is nigh impossible.

For these images I shot a roll of Fujifilm Superia 400 through my Pentax P3, then re spooled the film back into my Konica Pop.
The staged, Pentax shots were done to give a clear and focused background image, where as the candid Konica shots were done to add a sense of unorganised chaos to the top image.
10mp crop 3200 ISO on Cloudy Day. 3200 is about as far as I'd go with this camera. This one is exposed to the right slightly, but I could have gone a bit further. The noise is much more controlled than it was on the previous 7D.
I'm very happy with the results of this set and found the sharpness amazing. I also liked the way that stand development controlled the highlights, as can be see fro the shot. It was a very bright morning, but dark under the bridge. However, with an orange filter, the clouds came out well.
No sharpening applied.
By the way, for those who wondered what this scene looks like in colour, here's a screen shot of the scene, as seen on the light meter application on iphone.
p.s. app is free and is great :-)
The air traffic control tower at a decommisioned army air base seems quaint compared to those at modern day airports. The trail head to the wetlands path begins near this building, so I see it quite often.
These images were captured in an abandoned power plant in Italy. There is not much left of the plant which once generated up to 80 megawatts. However, the control room and a cooling tower are still in place.

The abandoned control room for Bethlehem Steel's massive lackawanna complex. The entire control system for the factory used analogue switches, dials, and buttons. When I visited the Beaux Arts jewel of Bethlehem Steel's 1901 Lackawanna Steel Factory, it was clear the demolition was imminent. The site had become somewhat of mecca for photographers and explorers. FIlled with labs, offices, and hidden rooms that contained stunning vintage pieces, from lamps to typewriters, to a complete control room filled with 1960s era computers. Now demolished, the factory holds an almost mythical place in my memory. As it closed in the late 1970s and early 80s, its interior fixtures and furnishing remained frozen in time. Time capsules are rare in my travels, in this was one of the most pristine. Bethlehem Steel's Buffalo administration headquarters was demolished in 2013.
One thing that can damage your photography is burning your flame of inspiration at too high temperature. I experience this from time to time and usually it's the case of not letting go of my original vision. I might, for example, have a picture that is 'ok' but not quite there and I insist on editing on it too long in hope for salvation – only to find out after couple of days that I'm actually fed up with the picture and it's not serving my photographic pleasure at all anymore. Usually this results a drop of inspiration for couple of days as I get a feeling that I cannot get anything done. I used to suffer this kind of drops more often before I understood that it is actually the same flame of inspiration that can make my photography 'fly in the zone' and also 'crash it into to ground' – and what actually happens depends on how high temperature I let the flame burn. Controlling my expectations and learning to let go have definitely been educational experience to me and nowadays I feel that it's usually more productive to move on the next idea than try to edit things beyond what is reasonable.
I feel that similar kind of stuff can be projected to the camera setup your using. When you are getting great results the setup is also great and inspiring. But when things don't go as you've planned, the grass starts to look more green on the other side of the fence. It's very humane feeling, but as you already know, often a wrong projection. So the question is, does the high quality equipment such as Sony & Zeiss stuff change this cognitive behavior in some way. Based on my experience over the few months, I would say that while it has become a lot harder to blame my tools, I'm still experiencing same kind of highs and lows as I've always have – not a big surprise really since one cannot really buy mental things like inspiration and passion. But using high quality tools have definitely given me certain kind of mental reference points which makes it easier to orientate myself in my own cognitive sceneries. For example, I don't have to worry about the gear or daydream about it, which clears space for other kind of thoughts and targets in healthy way. 'Having it all here' helps me to concentrate on photography itself rather than the tools themselves, and I feel this raises a new kind inspiration in me. Of course one can be disappointed with any gear, even the Zeiss Otus lenses, if one has unrealistic expectations and projections, but so far I have to say that using this setup is more liberating than it is driving my inner expectations. It's all about the flame and controlling it.

I was driving from Jacksonville Florida to Lake City Florida when I came across a section of Pine forest that had recently undergone a controlled burn. I'm not sure I caught the image the way i wanted. I didn't have a tripod with me so you loose some detail in the pines in the background where i think the picture really is.
