Going to have to have my camera serviced.

Sun Jan 14, 2007, 8:52 AM
Going to have to get my Hasselblad serviced, I should have expected it really, it's fully mechanical, and twenty-eight years old, and hadn't been used by the previous owner for a while, and you have to 'excersise' Hasselblads every month or so it doesn't seize up or that sort of thing.

The shutter isn't working properly, it's fine on a tripod, but when using it handheld, I get ghost-images like this;

Your pictures are stunning, and I've only just seen the front of your DA. Lovely shots, I'm liking the London Eye one, I used to live right near there.

Thanks a lot, I've only just got DeviantArt, so I have a load more photos to upload, I'm uploading them incrementally at the moment.

Looking forward to seeing them. How are Hasselblads? I've heard some things about them, though I know very little. I have both a Nikon D50 and a Nikon F65, I moved over to digital but I'm soon moving back to film, after I improve my picture obtaining abilities!

My Hasselblad is brilliant, you can really tell how well made they are, I can tell it will last forever.
I only just got it at christmas though, so none of the photographs on the page are from it, and I only just (yesterday) got a decent light meter.

I'll be sure to put them up straight away when I've developed and scanned the negatives (they're on colour film, which I can't print in the darkroom, yet).

Good choice on the move back to film, I was always taught the best way to learn photography was on black and white film, because if you don't get it all mostly right, there's not much else you can do, digital seemed to do most things automatically for you. So it helps your learning to have to do it yourself.

Not my digital, I use all ze manual settings, the only reason I moved to digital was my expences! When I have acess to a darkroom, black and white photography here I come!

The colours can always wait, horrible developing complexitys!
