Here Are Detail Crops Of 100 Megapixel Medium Format Photographs

I remember when the Phase One XF camera came out just over a year ago. With it, came the 100 megapixel IQ3 digital back. For those of you new to medium format, it's hard to convey the sheer exhilaration felt when looking at these images to someone who hasn't seen medium format files before. 

A few months ago, Bella Kotak and I had the pleasure of doing a workshop in Denmark. Our good friend Dennis Moller is an organizer who owns and runs Manipulate It workshops. The day before the workshop, we magically found a way to arrange and pickup the camera system to use during the workshop, thanks to the willingness of Phase One's help. We wrote a blog post (here) about the experience.

Once we released the photos, people asked to see more detailed shots to get a grand feel of all the detail represented in the image(s). I wanted to share it with everyone too! I mean, what's the point of them just sitting around for my own viewing pleasure? So without any more banter, here they are! The details of the shoot itself can be found in the blog post
