Project- Medium Format

HasselBlad Camera


For my past rotation, my focus was on experimenting with medium format cameras. I used two different types, one was a Holga and the other was a HasselBlad. The Holga was more of a toy camera and less expensive. It was very simply to use and had a small range of focus. When the pictures I took with the Holga were developed you could clearly see that past that range of focus the rest of the picture became blurry. The HasselBlad is a much more expensive camera, requiring a light meter to be used along side it since it does not control the light on its own. The difference between the two cameras was evident. The HasselBlad could take very clear pictures with a wide focus while the Holga did not. It was fun being able to capture images with both types of cameras because it was a new expirence. I liked working with the Holga a lot too because you could play around with double exposures. Holga
