Hasselblad in the woods

Gorgeous, Pete. I'm still fairly new to a 'blad & haven't figured out how to use flash w/ it yet. I wanted to try MF for the rich depth of tone & texture you show well here. I'm surprised when my humble 35mm approximates such a shot, but certainly wouldn't withstand any significant enlargement. The use of extension tubes remains in my future also. Your shots are inspiring.

Nice, indeed a venerable old tree!

Thanks Folks !! Yes , a Venerable Old Bloke took it ! Well, it took me at least 40 years before I took the plunge and got a Hasselblad, using my 'Lump Sum' from the British Government with my Retirement Pension. I did a few Weddings with it before all the work was 'Digital Fakery' for weddings and just about got my money back on basic camera + 80 mm lens but NOT the other lenses ( Don't tell the Wife !! )

Nice wo

Nice work and more to come I am sure.... just keep at it.... your and the 'blad will never lead you astray and together you will produce some stunning work... pursue it with vigor and a full heart and the return will be more than worth it..... Logan

That is a fine old tree, and the 'Blad would sound good in the quiet woods
