Hasselblad, Tri-X

Sean, you're on a roll. This really sings. I take it that you are enjoying your Hasselblad. The sound of the shutter going is one of the most enjoyable sounds on the planet.

Thanks Jeff. I'm totally hooked on my hasselblad and squares. You can take partial blame for this. :) Happy Holiday's, Jeff. -Sean

Sean: I like this shot but I'd like it to pop more like your Kipling Mich picture. It seems a little flat. I uploaded a brighter shot but it looked way different than on my PS so I deleted it.   Nice shot. Alan.

I'm happy to take any amount of blame for images like this, Sean. They have a richness and subtle detail that really speak to me. Having a Hasselblad helps. The Zeiss glass is superb. Of all the techno things that I have owned, I think that my 503 was the most beautiful and satisfying. I like my current gear a lot but there isn't the emotional connection. I know that probably sounds weird but it's just the way it was for me.

Have a great Christmas. I look forward to more of your images next year.

Alan, thanks for the feedback. The lighting I've captured is an accurate. While I agree a bit more contrast would be nice, it simply wasn't there. Perhaps when I print it, I may feel differently, my goal is to capture as much detail throughout the scene so as to make printing easier. Artistic license will come into play at some point I suspect. Thanks again - Sean 

Superbly fine detail, love the textures and nuances in the shading. Excellent work, bravo.

Love it Sean. The fine detail and tone gives it a silvery look.
