Just…

January 29th, 2010

A single post on a rumor website just can change “everything”: the rumor has it that Hasselblad will announce a new camera system mid February.

Instead of the current modular HxD series with different digital backs it apparently will be a body with a fixed sensor. The sensor would be bigger then 35mm full-frame sensors but smaller then the H4D 50/60mpx sensors, in pixels as well in physical dimension. It would be cheaper then a Leica S2 (duh!).

Some thoughts:

  • No AA filter as with the modular backs?
  • Using the existing HC lenses? maybe the same adapter for CF lenses?
  • Around 35Mpx to set it apart from the D3x and 1DsmkIII?
  • CMOS instead of CCD?
  • 4:3 aspect ratio?
  • Fuji/HB designed, fabbed by Fuji, rebadged to HB?
  • DNG Raw ?

Nope….most likely “”"”"just”"”"” a 40Mpx version of the H4D.

2 Years And Counting…

December 22nd, 2009

pfewwww, next month it will be 2 years ago that I bought the canon inkjetprinter. Time just goes too fast. It must also be more then 2, likely 3 years I took pictures with the 4×5″ kit. Will I ever take pictures with that gear again, ever? For some reasons I kept the jobo ATL to be able to develop film.

Recommendation…

not to listen to cheesy, corny music like ‘Last Christmas’ or ‘driving home for Christmas’ but listen for a change to Bach’s Weinachtsoratorium (BWV 248)

about the fact that the images in my weblog look like crap……it’s Internet Explorer that makes my images look like crap as it doesn’t scale the images very well.

Images are hosted on flickr and have bigger pixel dimensions then what you see, the browser has to scale them and sadly IE seems to do a crappy job, check out Safari, it does this much better.

Decorated…

December 8th, 2009

Need Want to put a more decorative piece of work in my bedroom. Prepared it some time ago but never printed it. Tonight, I once more loaded the file into photoshop and decided that it was okay…..so time to remove the Ilford paper and load the matt Innova paper. File was send to to the printer and a few minutes later I held 17×41 inches measuring piece of wall decoration in my hands. I’m still liking the Innova IFA39 paper very much because it doesn’t compete with the image for attention.
