More Square Than Usual

I enjoyed myself so much with my Hasselblad wandering around Nakameguro, I decided to go back and reel of some more rolls of both Black & White and colour. I really love the way this camera (well lens really) renders Black and White - especially wth my usual Fuji ACROS 100 and Kodak TMax 400 films - plus I took a roll of Fuji Velvia 100 to get some colour. Nothing in the digital world seems to come close to the tones and fantastic atmosphere you can get from these films and the right lighting. I took along my Sekonic light meter as this is really old school and you need to pay careful attention to light and meter very carefully. The 'Blad is a mechanical camera with no light meter and no battery either, which I love. Let me know what you think of the results…….
