Fun with the Hasselblad 907x

[Godfrey]

I sold my CFV50C back in April in anticipation of this new back so my alerts on B&H went off last night and I snagged a 907X kit, two spare batteries, the remote release and the charging cradle. I can’t wait to get back in the V system digital back game, I miss those amazing tones and colors!

Excellent! Enjoy it! Post photos! 🙂
A lovely portrait, Vince! 🙂

I hope to get out with a 180mm lens on the 907x on Sunday for some shooting time...

Superb, Sublime,Divine,Yum !

Many thanks Helen - understandably it’s been tough to get portraits of people outside my immediate circle these days, so this was a good (and safe!) opportunity.

Love this image. The light and texture it creates is very suggestive. Contemplative and meditative at the same time.
Thanks for sharing,
Giorgio

Introducing the world's first pistol grip for the 907x!

A bit of thought, a bit of fabricating, cutting, drilling and voila!

LOL! Very cool! That should work pretty nicely! 🙂

Actually it feels great and the thumb-actuated shutter release lever works perfectly. Only thing was that I had to sacrifice one Hasselblad TIHNC pistol grip to see if the darned concept was even going to work.

Hmm think I should sell the idea to Hasselblad?

Or just go into manufacture by yourself. 🙂
I like the morning photo too...

I usually go for long tonal scales and subdued color palettes, but I made this exposure — it just called to me for a harder-edged, more explosive rendering technique. So I remembered the Kodalith images done in the 1970s and thought, I wonder if it might work...

That could have been the cover for the follow-up album to Hotel California 🙂

Not seeing it as a video - when I click on the image I just get a second Flickr window with the single JPEG image. Clicking on the YouTube link takes me to the main YouTube page. Something I'm not doing right?
