After a long time and continuing the endless series "In the city of Lucerne". This time for some few images taken with my new (and already treasured) Hasselblad. Photography has never been so direct, sincere and close to me, as it is with the great Hassie. The wish for this one was to get the cyan stronger for a "strange cold" attitude and with hard contrasts in the middle of a summer day. After some few tries it was clear that the used film, a Kodak 160 NC, starts to "overdrive" at about half step of overexposure. Especially the contours of the roof in the foreground are almost aching they eye, donßt they. Still no kind of ugly digital zig-zags and similar phenomena. Any comments would be very welcome.
Thanks a lot for the comment and the idea, Vandi! You will laugh now but soon some more will be posted with (more or less) your kind of composition. Just be patient. ;-)
My Hasselblad is the 500C made in 1969. The 500C/M has the additional capability of easily changing the focusing screen.
it is a complex symphony that strikes sporadically enchanting in its crisp colourfullness and depths of resonance~ i simply cannot stop on a detail and negate the other- it is solid in coposition of all that we see in there, so direct and frank.
the contrast is perfect, colours just the same, the exposure just right on, and cyan you applied makes it right the atmosphere that you wanted to generate. the most striking element of the photo is the depth. it starts on the roof and the tree and ends in the wall of the mountains, and everything in between is purely defined- just like the snow on the top of the mountains.
so, i see what you mean when you tell me about your Hassie! enjoy it Nick ;).
A very sharp exposure, Nick, and the slight overexposure only serves to add to the slight haze, increasing the atmospherics of the shot. I like your composition and the depth of the photo, too. Dave.
