Ironfest 2017

Shot on Hasselblad 500CM and Minolta X700 58mm. Portra with +1 exposure. It was a little overcast which meant the lighting was uniform throughout the afternoon I was there.

Hasselblad and Ironfest, Lithgow, Outside Sydney

Hassleblade? Hasselbald? Hassle something? Hasselhorf? It was only about 2 years ago I found the proper name of this medium format camera known as Hasselblad. Prior to that all I knew was that it was the boxy camera with the look down viewfinder. I have seen it in some movies but did know it went to the moon and back. I started shooting film cameras about 3 years ago after inheriting my brother’s Olympus Om2, which he acquired in the mid 1980’s – it still works a charm. Since then I have been slowly accumulating film cameras. partly because of the low cost for then top of the range high cost camera.

A little preview of my next post on the recent trip to Ironfest, Lithgow, outside of Sydney, shot on film. This was my third roll on this camera and I got giddy when I saw the blades of grass after development. I’ll let you take a guess on the sort of film and camera.
