Outdoor Rock Concert w/Hasselblads

[sportback]

I feel for you. I have the chance that I don't work on Mondays, and as such I have the opportunity to go out solo and 'do' my photo stuff.

I've learned that it's best that I don't tell ANYONE that I want to go out and take photographs - if I simply mention my desire to anyone, it will RAIN.

So now, I just have my camera bag near the car and pop it in at the last moment...

Ever get the idea someones watching you?

Back out I am going for more Rock Photography.....

The last outdoor Rock shoot went quite well, with my Hasselblads. One 500EL/M with 350mm F5.6 Non-T*, and my 40mm F4 Distagon Non-T* on second EL/M, both with meter prisms. The two extremes for me in terms of Hasselblad focal lengths. It was an outdoor amphitheatre, with rustic log-cabin styling, and beautiful landscaping and great facility. The band played their hearts out and sounded great, and I enjoyed myself with 220TXP, 220NPH, and an A12 loaded with Delta 3200, for the long 350mm stuff. Could muster 1/250 wide-open, I'm fairly steady, so I should be OK. Should take a monopod next time.

Today is "BATTLE OF THE BANDS" they will only play for -only- twenty minutes. Have pared-down my kit, one 500C/M with meter prism, 40mm&350mm, 220TXP, 220NPH, and A12/Delta3200. And a NPC back with Fujiroid 400 B&W SPEEDY, will shoot one instant frame, then immediately switch to real film.

Will have some film to develop soon, and will put up here. --FUN-- project.

Processed the 220 Tri-X Pro, the negatives look very good, with plenty of nice detail. The Ilford Delta 3200 is loaded in the developing tank, ready to run. And the roll of 220 NPZ Fuji color is nearly at the end of the roll, so that will go to my pro lab.

After I finished the Delta 3200 in one one of my A12 magazines, I put on my NPC Instant back and shot an instant frame of Fujiroid400. Showed it to the band afterwards, they were -amazed-. How did you get that so quickly??? I really enjoy Instant photography. Another outdoor concert tommorrow, I will probably take my Rock setup out once again.

With the 350mm Tele-Tessar @ F5.6 400 Fujiroid:
