Cattle Day
Yesterday was shot day for some of our neighbors calfs. I stopped by and snapped a couple of pictures.
Using my Pentax 645z, A 35mm f3.5 and 80-160mm f4.5, and my Nikon D800, Sigma 50mm 1.4

Sagebrush
Under the wide open skies of Wisdom Montana are fields and fields full of Sagebrush. For the non-allergenic type, the smell is very pleasant and calming while driving through the fields. I snapped some shots on our last Sunday afternoon day trip up to the Big Hole. We got to explore the mountain side and have a picnic with friends. Here are some images from the day trek.

Last Warm Fall Days
The last warm fall days are slowly drifting by here in Montana. Before I head back to cooler, soggy/rainy/wet Vancouver weather, I am going to try to snap as many pictures of the incredible colors that you will find in the Bitterroot Valley at this time of the year. The tree's leafs are slowly turning into an array of Red/ yellow and orange. The Pentax 645Z is really built for these kinds of conditions and I can't wait to get some more lenses for the camera to try to capture different angles and different perspectives.
Thus far, most of the images on the Pentax are shot with a 645 AF 45mm 2.8 lens and a 645 A 75mm 2.8 lens. You can really see the focal length compression that Medium format will give you and the bokeh is actually quiet impressive.
Here are some more shots from the past week!

Pentax 645z
Well....this camera is nothing short of amazing! The clarity absolutely blows my mind and the sharpness, file size and colour is pretty spectacular. It can actually shoot and render pretty quick for a Medium Format and is truly a Joy to shoot. I played around with the camera today and shoot with the older Pentax FA 45mm 2.8 lens and the Manual Pentax 75mm 2.8 lens.
The camera is comfortable in the hands and works basically like my DSLR's thus the learning curve is pretty minimal. I can't wait to get some sun here in the Bitterroot Valley so I can really test out what this camera can do!
A bit to much purple in the leaves...I noticed that the DNG are not as punchy as my Nikon NEF's, but post can bring back your colours if needed.
My Niece and Nephew are having some Fall fun!
Ending off on this little GEM!
