A rainy shoot with the 500CM

[Jake Mongey]

Its been a long while since ive picked up my hassy for a proper shoot as ove mostly been shooting music on 35mm pushed to unholy amounts recently but the oppritunity came as part of my Uni work for a portrait shoot and it seemed the perfect time to load up some Tri X and get to work.

The shoot was in Mile End park in london as it has it all, run down urban areas, greenery, interesting buildings and a canal! The model Alexi is a talented sculptor interested in making his own jewlery.

All I can say is I missed using this hassy. Got a box of Foma 112 fibre ill be printing today!

Well done. Wonderful machine for this sort of thing. Love the blacks.

Very nice indeed! Strong images, great depth to them.

My 500CM is "next film camera up" to load and go shooting with... I think I'll concentrate on playing with the Distagon 50mm lens. 🙂

Fantastic shots. I like the color ones too, but the contrasty Tri-X works particularly well with the model's strikingly monochrome look.

Were you using a 45 degree prism with the Hasselblad? It’s good in the rain. That first colour shot is particularly good.

The trix does work well, I just slapped a roll of portra through my F2 for a few select shots I knew i wanted in colour, ironically they were all rubbish

I was actually using the WLF as i couldnt find my prism which was hidden in plain sight on my dead 500EL! Thank you, I actually perfer the fourth one as my favourite
