Gaucho from Entre Rios, Argentina.

The series is very nice and the post processing fits very well. Is this the same grain that Olivier Chauvignat uses?

Hi Tim,

I've got this lens and the 1.4x but have yet to use the combo much. Are these all taken with the tripod and full support system we have discussed before, or can you get away with faster shutter speed shots using less support?

Ed, I always use the tripod with this lens. I can get away without the extra support system if using high shutter speeds >1/250s. Even with the extra support, speeds around 1/15s, are problematic; the addition of the Manfrotto is then very helpful.

Hello Jerome and thank you , I don't know what Olivier uses, but I think it's quite a more complex method he does. I don't "need" that complexity to fake grain. It's only LR processed and I'm happy with the results.

Here is another, one of my favourite portrait. Gaucho from Urdinarrain, Entre Rios, Argentina.

I forgot to mention, Hasselblad H3DII-39 and HC80mm, Profoto B1 and Profoto Octa 3'.

For some strange reason was it I who liked this better than the customer.
I always work from the principle that I, the artist, is always right, and the customer, very seldom

Dave and Tom - thanks for your advice on the support system. I have all the parts for a very good support solution but haven't yet played with it much!

Hello Jerome and thank you , I don't know what Olivier uses, but I think it's quite a more complex method he does.

I can't check what Olivier wrote about it because the forum where he posted details it is not accessible from Germany any more, but I recall that he used a different grain for the dark and for the lights parts of the image.

When did you take this pictures? I thought you sold your H3D-39.

 

[chaosphere]

Really ? Why is this about CI not visible from Germany ??
I took this picture on my trip in January this year. I sold two years ago my H3D-39 for the H3DII-39.

Several more from my Father's lost for 72 years negatives. I found the negative that was used on the August 1937 cover of Zeiss Magazine. It is posted along with a scan of the magazine cover.
Thanks for looking

I don't know. CI does not answer my mails. I have access when on holidays in France. In Munich, none of my friends have access. All we get is an Apache test page.

Tell the people on the forum I say hello, but I don't think I will come back.

Must have been an interesting trip.

You just changed the H3D-39 for the H3DII-39? I think that the only difference is that you get is a bigger screen?

These are terrific David. Thank you for sharing.

That's it but the screen was so... awful... ! And I got the H3DII-39 a lot cheaper than the H3D-39 with 6 month warranty !

I love this camera. The only better for me would be a bigger sensor.

It is the same boat, but is not quite the same picture. There are some changes in the sand, for example the three clumps on the left of the rope become two. The round bit at the rear of the boat is not there.

You are probably thinking about the 60 mpix sensor, but it is not much bigger actually.

I should say that I am quite pleased by the H cameras myself. I like the lenses.

Thanks for pointing that out...very strange. I have only found one negative so far. If there are two negs, they must have been taken close to the same time, as the sky is the same (the burning & dodging original darkroom vs my digital approximation not withstanding). The round bit missing is strange. Had it been missing in my print, one could say I eliminated it digitally (I didn't).
Best regards
Dave
