first prints from photocrafters

These are couple of my first images from the darkroom. These photos took me hours to get it right and I feel I have accomplished a lot by producing these images. Of course... this is just the beginning! Simon asked us to shoot something black and something white. I went to the pier and took the Princess Cruise. And here it goes.
The second image I took on the day before I head into the class. It is a good subject because it trains me on how to bring out the details from the shadows. 
This is the contact print. Although it is a bit like lightroom the software. But when I can actually hold on to this contact print, I feel I actually own this images rather than having them on the screen. Maybe it is just me.

My very first MF - Hasselblad 500cm

最近買了一台Hasselblad。想多了解些中篇幅相機的操作。敗了一台500CW,是朋友阿南幫我在ebay買的。等了一個月,終於在上個月拿到了這台重沈沈的相機。1970年出產的東東,居然現在還可以用,可想他的做工是很solid啊!全機械的,不用電池也能夠拍,這是我第一台中篇幅,也是我第一台全機械相機。呵呵。在家裡花了一些時間,慢慢摸索著這相機上所有的配件,左轉右轉的 ,很不習慣反向的操作,連構圖都有困難, 覺得自己像個傻子一樣。把相機架在腳架上,笨拙的對著焦距。整個過程是用龜速來進行啊。看來要靈活的運用這台相機拍人像還是需要些時間,磨練磨練啊

一直不想隨便就拍了我的處女座,因為覺得有紀念的價值。所以等了又等,就選了心愛的老婆做我的人像題材了。這就是我第一組照片啊,對焦困難,快門很慢,景深很薄,快瘋了...
