Another nice set. I like that one with the dog in it best. The fact that its head is missing just gives a lot of interest to this image for me.

More excellent shots Hamish. And I'm with Brian - the half a dog is my favourite too. Unusual to see this sort of shot done on a Hasselblad but it works nicely. Now the big question is. What happened to the missing frame?!!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Thanks Brian... Yeah, not sure what it is about that shot I like ... He just wondered into the frame at the last minute ... I didn't even see him coming!

 

[Hamish Gill]

Haha, cheers Pete!
Different roll! This is delta400 the other thread is hp5 ...
Don't ask what happened to the other 13 frames ...

... As for not the sort of shot you would expect from a Blad ...
I did wonder if it would allow me to shoot candid stuff like this ...
It's not the logical choice, but I don't feel uncomfortable with it in that sort of circumstance really ... Maybe it's just the early joy of having it?!

 

[Pete Askew]

Actually it is probably better than a DSLR. No one would expect you to be taking a candid shot, hand held, with a Hasselblad now would they?!!

Quite a few people did use TLRs for candid shots after all. David Bailey for one!!

Ran a roll of Delta 100 through a 503 yesterday myself. Hopefully I'll find time to develop it this week (and print it when I am back in Potsdam). I decided it was time I started to actually shoot a project I have been thinking about for about 4 years now! I'm interested in 'recording' the old 'pill boxes' installed in the UK during WWII. There are quite a few around here and I like the way they have melted into the background in most cases - unobserved. I have a working title of 'Silent Sentinels' as they still look like they are waiting for something.

Looking good Hammer!
I may just have to come round and see the Blad in action. Never seen one in the flesh.

 

[Hamish Gill]

Well this is it ... I have had people asking me what it is I'm carrying, one chap walk accros a pub to sit down at my table and ask to have a look at it and most unusually a little boy and his mother walking behind me the little boy asks "what's that mommy" mommy says "that's a hasselbald camera" ... I turn round and smile at her and she gives me a proper evil glare ...
Very odd!

Sounds like a very interesting project Pete! Great title!
I shall look forward to the results

I was thinking about trying to pick up an old 50mm cheaply but I'm worried if anything it might ruin my fun ... ?

... How do find d100 compares to fp4?
