Bradford's Alhambra

[Shaun Haselden]

Taking a note of another thread on this forum about Carl Zeiss lenses and medium format, I thought I would post these. Taken around 2006 using my then Hasselblad 500CM with a 60mm wide angle Carl Zeiss, I used Kodak T-Max 100 which was developed in my 'standard' FX39. This building is truly astonishing in its beauty.

Love the angle you chose to shoot from. I'd like to see more of the building in other shots, though these work well.

Thank you Rob.

Very nice studies, Shaun. I like the 60 a lot.

Yes, I, and others have a certain reverence for Carl Zeiss lenses and in my past they have never failed to provide a certain look. Of course film choice plays a part as well. My preference now would be for Fuji Acros 100 but I have been out of touch with film for quite a few years so no longer even know if it is still available. True beauty with almost every shutter click.

The image you have captured from the angle is awesome. Really, it's a great one!
