This is a bit different from my "nature" type images.
This took a lot of waiting around, and coming back, for a few
hours duration. Finally the light was right. The repetitive nature,
and the sharp angles appealed to me in a simplistic way.
Sometimes "simple" works out to at least a shot that can
be posted.
This has been "hanging around" for a while, never found
time to scan it. It is not as sharp after the scan as it is on the
transparency, of course. 
I don't know how many of you have the Pentax 645, but I want
to say that the ergonomics - the way it fits in the hand - are superb.
It's really a very good camera with a good design, in my opinion.
Angular Momentum
Pentax 645
Pentax-A 45/2.8
Provia
f:16 and 1/60th
V700
I rotated the image, and it seems to create more "pop" to me, although it looks rather odd compared to the normal image. 
Angular Momentum 2

Wow, now I really never expected that!
They are both amazing. I really like images that create some kind of physical response in me, and the second one did so, more than the first. It feels somehow 3D, and seems to come out of the photo at you!
Really great, I enjoyed those  |

Yes, these create a physical response, and wonder. For me, perhaps even the Edenic snake? Excellent examples of naturalistic abstractions.
I've decided to hell with 35mm, I'll save up for a 645 Pentax.

Impressive, Larry!
Once the title read, it took me a while to figure out what the subject really was.
Excellent composition, great idea.
I like both, but I do prefer the first one.
Thanks for sharing!

Very nice work Larry. Actually I prefer the original although both are excellent.
I almost bought a complete 645N with two backs a few weeks ago. I went back and forth quite a few times as to if I was going to get it or not. But decided to save the money in the end. It wasn't cheap I have been thinking about one for a year.
My cousin had first a 645 when they were new then a 645N. He told me he loved the 645 until he got the 645N. I can't remember all the differences but he said he couldn't believe how bright the view finder was in the N. Thats not to take away from the 645, he said it was a great camera.
Your showing all these nice shots has me thinking about one again. You are doing some nice work with that camera.

Thanks all! Never expected this much response, so that is nice.
The Pentax 645 bodies are as cheap as they'll ever get, I think. A
good one can be had for $100-$125.  The 645N can be
had for about $450 or so.
The auction site usually ends at "overpriced" amounts; the
BGN-rated cameras at KEH are usually cheaper, and they also
give you the option of sending it back if something is wrong.
Lenses are very cheap as well, though not as cheap as 2 years ago.
But only about $20 difference between now and then.
The 45/2.8 wide angle can be less than $200.
The 75/2.8 normal lens around $100. VERY sharp.
The 120/4 macro around $200. Sharp and a good
multi-purpose lens.
The 150/3.5 around $100. This a STEAL for a supremely
sharp lens.
The big transparencies from 4.5x6 are really nice to work with.

I'm not sure what crossprocess means? Perhaps you want to know if I altered them? I did alter the original digitized (scanned) images with some saturation increase and cropping.
Yes, the Pentacon 6 lenses are wonderful for their compatibility with a good adapter. I've used, in the past, the Vega 12B, the Vega 26B, and the Flektogon 50/4.
I have been tempted to acquire the Arsat 30mm lens. I've bought other things though, and will have to save more money to make the purchase. I have seen where it can be corrected for the curvature in Photoshop and other image programs. A NICE very wide angle lens. Do you have some samples, Alessandro?

I'm also interested in Pentax MF, not just because I am a Pentaxian, but also, like A G says, it can adapt P6 lenses, and I now have the entire range of CZJ P6 lenses, except the 300/4 (MC Flektogon 50/4, Flektogon 65/2.8, MC Biometar 80/2.8, Biometar 120/2.8, Sonnar 180/2., and the prices of 645s are very very sweet Funny, I'm accumulating more and more medium format cameras (Pentacon Six + 2 junk bodies for spare parts, Kiev-60 in the mail, Bower-X folding camera, the beat up Yashica-Mat I just picked up today....)
And of course, I love that picture, and the rotated version (like pop art!)
