Saturday after I finished with the "gentle giant" (4x5 camera), I returned it and checked out the next size down in film -- the Hasselblad which uses 120 film. One of the fun devices made for this camera is the instant film back. You can take Polaroid like pictures to see if you are on track as far as lighting goes. These are the first pictures I've ever taken with a Hasselblad which I then scanned. As you can see I was kicking around the house, torturing Chuck and Rowdy and Chuck's car all day. Rowdy's favorite trick right now seems to be staying completely still while I focus and then right when I am about to hit the button to take the picture he moves his face so it's turned in the opposite direction away from the lens. Very funny! I think Chuck's been training him when I'm not around - total conspiracy! These were a few images I took -- of which I've learned a few things... 1) direct sunlight is still puzzling 2) always remember to take out the picture immediately after taking it to avoid double exposures 3) instant film is instantly gratifying -- must buy more!
