A bit of distortion

For future reference, the Proxar 0.5 close up lens for the Hasselblad does indeed show a bit of distortion.

I also think this will be my last post on wordpress.  I’ll be here now:  No Mirror Slap.  Nothing much on it right now, just a couple of test posts.  More to come.  Cheers.

Really can’t explain why I like this, but I do.

Hip Shot

 

This guy is another film shooter.  Uses a Nikon F6 and F5.  Serious cameras.  Hip shot at Riley’s sometime back.  Technical info: Leica M6 with 40mm Summicron-C.  Ilford HP5+ shot at 1600.

Black and White

If you look at it from a distance and squint, it’s kind of creepy.  I like the texture on the shirt.  Maybe a 40 watt bulb lit this shot.  This is film pushed all the way to 6400.

 

 

 

Toy Cameras

Taken with my 1960s vintage plastic Diana just to mix it up a bit.  This was just before part of my camera fell into the pool.  It’s been taped back together.

I think color film is starting to grow on me

 

I think he played Tom Waits

I think I’ll start a series of who plays what on that machine.
