Shore Abstract 6

Very etheral! I expected it to be shot with a Holga, yet this is a Hassy. How do you achieve that toy-camera like look with the vignetting, softness and everything?

Funny you should mention that. I also shoot with a Diana at times and was tying to get a bit of that look from my Hassy. Shooting my older chrome 80MM wide open at 2.8 and putting the plane of focus very close(and holding the camea low) goes a long way to get the look. In many of the images in this series, I also centered the suns reflection off the wet sand in the center to achieve a natural vinetting effect. Thats pretty much it - takes the sharpness right out of the blad! Sort of a silly thing to do, make a hasselblad act like a cheap plastic camera. The Blad is much more reliable though.
