I was working on this car image and removing spots. Then I discovered the little critter who had sat and watched the process for making the image. The blow up of him is quite clear given the small size which is a result of the 60 megapixel capture from the Phase One IQ260 digital back.
Thanks to my friends Charlotte, Mathew and Greg for helping with this quick shoot.
Our IQ260 kit has arrived.
Come and check out the new 13 stop dynamic range, Wifi tethered shooting and up to one hour exposure with ultra low noise.

Firmware version 5.00.51 ads new functionality to all IQ1 series digital backs:
USB2 and USB3 support
With the IQ1 series you can now capture tethered into Capture One 7.1.2 or later via the USB2 or USB3 port.
Profoto Automatic light control requires a 645DF+ camera with firmware version 2.20 or
later and Capture One 7.1.2 or later – the Light control installs as a plugin to Capture One
7.1.2 and is compatible with all newer Profoto Air systems.
Aperture or ISO can be locked to one or more groups of light, and changing aperture or
ISO on the camera will change the light intensity accordingly.
About USB2 and USB3:
USB3 cable length is limited to 3m which is also what Phase One recommends for both
USB2 and USB3
Charging of the battery is not supported due to the limited power on the USB bus, so
running continuously on USB, will require you to recharge your battery now and then.
