in fields with hasselblad or wonderful dedication
It’s always some kind of challenge for me to put the DSLR aside and to use only the Film camera during the whole time of a walk or trip. I have the feeling in the background of my thoughts, that something can go wrong and I’ll stay without pictures. To jump from camera to camera is some kind of masochism and this weekend I did it and you know what – no sort of tragedy or drama – I have every single shoot of this roll exposed very well, developed, and scanned. For exposure, I used the Sunny 16 Rule for Film Photography and only checked my settings with the iPhone application – once when I started and a second time when the light becomes completely low.
In addition – the last two square frames taken with a remote shutter when my Hasselblad was attached to the tripod. This was the first time for me to use both and exposure was appropriate also in these frames. The last color image is the set I used for the longer exposure. And you’re right – it was a wonderful and clear sunset.
some technical details of my film developing process :
Acros Neopan 100 film +
Dev – Kodak Pro D-76 – 1+1 – 11.5 min
Fix – kodak Professional Fix – 1+0 – 6 min
Thank you !!!

I do like the square format of the Hasselblad!
BTW, I find it easier and easier to put my DSLR aside in favour of my two Pentax medium format cameras, I’m just getting better results and I like the anticipation when you take the film out of the tank and have a first look at the results 🙂
Hi Hans ! thank you very much for taking a look and very kind words
i love this moment especially – when i can open the tank and to take look on the first frame and to smile and to relax that everything was ok with chemicals, process and film. 🙂
Nice touch , the last picture. Your pictures must make you smile so very much because I smile when I see them. You are just good!! Get some rest Mr. Bezrukov. I want to see more pictures soon 🙂
Use the Red Alert App for good measure! No daring photographer antics. You are much more valuable and worthy as a giver not a taker. prayers…. Irenadawn
I always loved the Blad and do miss mine, it has a unique quality that is so evocative
thank you for taking a look !
i’m not a big adherent of the expensive brand names, and before this camera i used Holga plastic one and Pentax Spotmatic 35mm film camera.
i wanted to have better medium format then Holga and had to decide between Bronica, Mamiya, Kiev and Hassey. this Hassey 500cm in fantastic condition just won the challenge 🙂
lovely photos, you can even smell the film.. the one before last is my favourite i think.
Thank you Yuri ! The one before last taken with a remote shutter
