Just a friendly "Hello"

[Claudio]

Hi Everyone,

My name is Claudio and I am a fine art photographer based in Bristol. Just wanted to say hi and show that I am not a robot (yet...)...

I am looking forward to fruitful discussions.

All the best

Claudio

Hi Claudio,

Thanks for your introduction! :z04_whip2_1:

With what are you currently shooting?

 

[Claudio]

Hi Dirk,

I shoot digital with a CFV-50 as well as analog with a 503 CW Hasselblad and a set of Carl Zeiss lenses as well as with a Canon 5D Mark III... - love both.

Hi Claudio and welcome to the Forum. I used to live in Clifton in Bristol - lovely part of the City. That's a nice kit you have - for MF work I mostly use a Contax 645 with Zeiss or Mamiya 645 lenses and flip between film and digital backs. The Hasselblad Ixpress backs work superbly with the C645 and for fine-art work, the multi-shot 384C and 528C backs are superb. I still shoot with a Contax RTS Fundus and host of Zeiss and Yashica ML lenses for enjoyment though my everyday cameras are the Olympus OM-D E-M1 and either a Contax i4R or SL300RT as the little Contaxes fit inside a jacket pocket. I had been using the Fuji X-T1 (I love Fuji glass and still use it on my GX680III) but the in-built focus stacking on the E-M1 won me over.

Please give my regards to Bristol; my girlfriend still lives there but she prefers to drive to the Welsh valleys.

Hi Biggles3,

Yes, Clifton is very nice - I'm in the Montpelier part of town which is becoming nicer and nicer by the day. A lot of re-development going on and new places opening up every month.

The Welsh valleys must be very nice too. Such beautiful landscape and great outdoor life. I shoot mainly fine art, portraiture ( which are both great on the Hasselblad) and street photography. I think I'm just missing a Leica in my collection and then I'm sorted.

One day...

Greetings to you too in the valleys...

Claudio
