Post your images taken with Hasselblad SWC

I like seeing what people get with their gear, but here specifically from Hasselblad SWC. It's a new one for me and my results are pending.

@fatso am already excited, but do need to ask: scanning technique and any seious PP?

 

[Deleted member 88956]

@fatso also, is that Huey P Long bridge with power plant in the back?

 

[Deleted member 88956]

@Sirius Glass way to start, thanks

 

[Paul Ozzello]

Exceptional!

Thank you!

@fatso also, is that Huey P Long bridge with power plant in the back?

No. It's the Pulaski skyway near Kearny, NJ

Those are drum scans I had done by Cone Editions in VT - but I like making very large prints. You can still get some very decent scans on an Epson flatbed - just smaller.

That is the bridge that the apes came over in the original Planet of the Apes movie.

@fatso your work is fantastic. you should post more (on variety of topics). when asking advice, I only pay attention to people who share their work, and we never have enough of those.

Thanks Gregg! I'm a bit of a curmudgeon... But I'll try to be more active ;-)

The rocks at this beach actually get covered in pink ice because of the pink sand around them:

I have shot first roll with mine. Looks fine, at least from general operational perspective and I sure like what it shows, even if I were quite limited yesterday with time available, light collapsing at end of the day etc.

My questions to ALL SWC shooters:

a. do you generally stick with square for final image (obviously making conscious decisions at exposure) or do you crop later not just because of compositional errors?

b. does anyone use SWC with A16 back (645, the "proper" horizontal framing)?

 

[Deleted member 88956]

Well, have some shots, even if my inept scans don't negatives justice. I like the view this camera gives for sure. As all these were at wide open aperture, focus does appear not as sharp (on light box) but at 4.5 I did not expect prime performance and I know I bumped lens from hyperfocal a few times and infinity is off.

Anyways, this is not a test of resolution or sharpness, but rather take the camera out for a few minutes and see if all clicks as expected, film magazine advances properly, frame spacing is close enough to the same frame to frame etc. So all these boxes checked out OK. One more film back to run for same reasons.

VTLD, did you mention which model SWC you are using?

 

[Deleted member 88956]

SWC/M with CF lens.

Why would one ever want to shoot in other than a square format??? Hasselblad advertised for decades that "Square is the perfect format". Take a deep breathe and recover your sanity.

Always funny but good nevertheless. I’m guessing you don’t own A16 then?

That would be no. 654 is too close to the 35mm format which I have always found to be a bit too long.

I have heard that the 220 film magazines make excellent wheel chocks to keep parked cars from rolling down hill.

Proper ? The 38 is such a wonderful lens and super wide in every direction - just shoot the whole square

I hope it is worth repeating something I've said before about the SWC: it's a great camera for capturing a scene. But if you want to photograph something or someone within that scene you have to have exceptional skill.
That might explain why I no longer have one...

P.S. No, I am not a Sirius alias.

Someone thought that siriusly?
