Evening light in TelAviv – Kodak TX400 exposed with Hasselblad.

 
Writing for me is not the same as photographing. Even i opened this blog site and started forcing myself to write more and more, but still nature is a winner and from time to time i find myself in these “sticks” of words outgoing from my inner space to you, my visitors.

This series is about communication of the very classic pair – Hasselblad 500cm and Kodak TX400. The only thing i tried to do this time with this roll is pushing to 800. I done the whole 12 frames during 1-2 hours walk in Southern Tel Aviv – my favorite area to take images of the simple life that flooding there among the old (still looking old) streets and the lines of buildings. I used 16 Sunny rule and guessed the exposure with 1 stop correction for the pushing process. No one asked me about this camera, no one interested what exactly i’m looking for. So, i started and finished this roll very easy and energetic and moved to sit with a beer in the same area – kinda classic happy end.

Rodinal is my only one developer, that i use for all my black and white photography last two-three years (exclude the Bergger film that i developed with Ber49 chemicals – i got one liter package). Semi-stand process is the process for the lazy ppl – you put the tank for one hour (well with a few gently agitations in the middle of this hour) and going to do something else – as usual i scan a previous rolls.

Almost forget to say a few words about the lens i used for this roll. This is astonishing Distagon 40/4. I got this idea to have Distagon after the one day of using Hasselblad 903SWC with the “legendary Biogon 38 lens” – very expensive set that i never can afford to myself but after the short investigation i came to this idea that 38mm and 40mm are very close and almost impossible to find and difference in results, but Distagon is interchangable so i just found it awesome condition and you can see how beautiful and wide angle open the results of using it.

Enjoy the evening light and the beautiful contrasts of pushed film !
