What attracted me to this shot originally was the light falling off the oil drum...I like how the drum nearest looks matte while the one furthest away has a sheen to it...
A view from our neighbours field...it's a fav' place to walk with Rafe, and it's just a 2 min walk away from the house...Ive shot this same view a few times already, some with colour film, 135 and 120...although I normally shoot the same composition, its everchanging with each season...
I found this one while going through my portfolio...Ive got sooo many images which need sorting and homing with either Getty or another publisher, but it takes so long to prepare submissions - removing dust, scratches etc...Anyway, I like this shot and thought Id share it with you lot..

This is the second shot of the same composition as this one www.flickr.com/photos/paulcooklin/4075949078/in/set-72157.... However, this was shot at f16 which has increased the depth of field which naturally resulted in a longer exposure, hence the movement in the grasses.
One of the nice things about the Hasselblad (along with my Bronica) is being able to swap backs from colour to b&w (or vice versa), or to any other film while keeping the same composition, shutter/aperture etc. Im not keen on desaturating colour images to b&w as there's a noticeable difference in shooting b&w film. After all, isn;t being able to shoot b&w film the reason why we shoot film anyway...well, one of the reasons perhaps.
The highlights are blown on this shot due to metering for the shadows...for me the interest was in the bails and not the sky...
This shot is from one of my first tests of my Hasselblad...a quick drive from my house and I found these hay bails...other shots from this roll are in my stream...I held a red filter over the lens which caused some additional vignetting to the bottom left hand corner...I now have a step-up filter so I can use my 62mm filters..
