PROJECT 1: Medium Format

This rotation I used a medium format Hasselblad. I really liked the viewfinder which was on the top side of the camera, so I could look down at the photo rather than holding the camera up to my eye. It was a little difficult to focus, but the high quality image I got when I did manage to focus it was worth it. I had some trouble with loading my film, sotwo rolls I shot weren't recorded. Another roll was somehow exposed to light and messed up. I liked some of my ideas so I might come back to them later in the year.


These are two of my contact sheets. In one I focused mostly on portraits and in the other on natural shots of Menlo. I also have two others not pictured, both of shadows on balloons.




This first shot is part of a series I took of shadows on balloons. The second one is a portrait. I photoshopped both of them to correct the color and contrast.

This photo is also part of the series of balloon shadows. The colors look pretty different because of the way I photoshopped them.
