The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2015 annual report for this blog.
Here’s an excerpt:
The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 11,000 times in 2015. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 4 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.
This thing is amazing, the design and build of it is just awe inspiring. Remember to watch the local fat policemen try to chase the rather fit and agile umbrella sellers- two fat guys squeezed into a Fiat 500.
I shot a lot of Xpan in Rome, fantastic place but hot in summer. The contrast between the white ruins and the cobbeled streets is pretty harsh.
There has not been another camera that I have felt so in touch with than the Hasselblad Xpan. It was my dream camera, my Ferrari Californian, my Mustang GTO. One day I will get another one, one day.
When your stuck and the light fails you need to push your film to the limit. This shot is HP5 rated at 3200 ISO and pushed using temperature rather than time. Best to use a combination of both, temperature only tends to punch out the grain but the effect can be nice. Film is pretty robust and can be abused to a point, black and white is good for this because it can be done at home, labs if they have the capability tend to charge a heap for it.
This shot was done on a Leica M7 and has held its sharpness well, important to capture the best quality picture as pushing film effects the detail you get in highlights and shadows.
