Equipment and Processing.



My chosen camera setup for this project is a Hasselblad 503CM Medium Format Camers, a Hasselblad Carl Zeiss 80mm f 2.8 Lens and Phase One Digital back

I was using the Camera tethered to Capture One. This was a totally new system to me so I found it exciting finding my way around it.
Luckily I've used Lightroom quite a bit and the slider system was very similar.

I found the system massively made life easier. Being able to adjust White Balance, highlights and levels then set them for the rest of the session is a massive plus.

Another godsend of shooting tethered is, being able to see your images full size as they're taken. This allows you to see the result. Rather than squinting at a little screen on the back of the Camera.

An other functions that I found to be a huge help we're the Loupe, for zooming in ant checking the images close up.
The Focus Mask was a brilliant tool. With the Hasselblad being quite an old Camera, the viewfinder wasn't very clear. The Focus Mask was brilliant for assisting in this situation and helped make small adjustments in focus.

Finally the export system on Capture on was excellent. Being able to output a number of different recipes at once was a big time saver.
