Nice work guys. Maggie -- I liked the first photo of the green leaves with the bug on them...that Nikkor has a very nice look.
Matt, I also liked your first one of the guy in the hoodie on the fence. Do I always like the first photo best? I have no idea...
I recently got a great deal on a Hasselblad SWC from Al Tanabe (a member here). Last night was really beautiful (well, 50 degrees with a 25mph wind, but AMAZING sky and light), so I went out with the SWC. I walked around the harbor, which is right down the street from me. These were shot on XP2, and it was my first time developing that as well...it came out nicely. I also shot another roll of color neg, but I have not been able to develop it yet. My c-41 chemistry is a bit old, so I think it may give a bit of a color shift (not a problem for XP2...), so I am waiting for new chemicals to arrive.
The SWC seems to be just like the Mamiya 43mm, only with no rangefinder, the square format and interchangeable backs. It is very compact, but I like the mamiya viewfinder better! The one in the SWC shows its age. The camera is a bit older than me...it was born in the early 70s.
And see that spec of dust in the last one in the middle left part of the frame? The SWC has the resolving power to show it as it really is:
P.S. If you want to see a color version of the sky out my window, check these out. They were with the ep-1 and just out the window, but the light was incredible...they were taken later. Around 11pm or so. These are straight out of the camera other than a whitebalance to daylight...
