Hasselblad CFV Digital Back CONTINUED

Don't piss on digital so fast lads.

Today I shot 500 images for a catalog of riding gear starting at Sunrise, was done by 11AM, and will have the selects (about 250 images) to the Art Director tomorrow.

The stuff came out just as visualized, and the fee will send me and the wife to the Caribbean this winter for a week of luxury.

G'day Marc:

Great shot ! Sharp as a fisherwife's tongue. You know I'm not pissing on digital ... just having fun. It'll get us all in the end (wax in the ears or not.) Shame about the yellow cast though. ...

Seriously, I've written it before here, you are where you need to be for your business, and I'm where I need to be for my own entertainment.

Now, as punishment, you have to endure another film image from this past weekend. (I made one roll of 12 exposures in about an hour (5 outside), had it processed and dried by 2pm, scanned all, selected 7, and went and had dinner with my art director/spouse.)

(Tech Details: Backyard, bright cloud cover, same Delta 100 roll as Onion up above. Same development (duh). 150mm, no filter, tripod, mirror up. 1/8 at 6.3. The tiny white dots are 'white fly' aphid-type creatures. Live with it!)


BTW, nice place to take a vacation, the Caribbean, Marc. We did Portugal last year with the $35K I didn't have to spend on the digicam.

PS. Can't resist a good stir. Galbers knows what I mean.
 
Nice Shots gentlemen

Colin:

Looks great to me. A gentleman from the local vector control told me that spraying your garden with the hose, similar to rain will get rid of those pesky little flies. It worked in my yard.

Marc:

I wasn't pissing on digital as much as describing the carefree ease of film!

BTW-I read in Forbes today that those with 4 million USD can't retire without changing there lifestyle, watch out you may have to keep working!

No one pisses on digital .
We have many good , qualified and serious discussions here , and from time to time , there must also be some fun . And who is a better candidate for fun , than TILT SENSOR .

I guess I shouldn't have shot that one with my yellow Hasselblad. And focus was easy since a two legged horse is a fairly slow moving subject.

Thanks for pointing out that this was all in fun Jurgen. It's always important to explain any joke in detail :)

The point is, why one medium at the expense of the other? Horses for courses (pardon the pun).

So please , all friends of digital film help me , but wax in my ears , tie me to the mast of the ship , put a bandage around my mouth (what I am going to see might water my mouth extremely) and give me very dark sunglasses , that I can not see the beauty , when my ship sails to the LEAF AFi , SINAR HY6 ROAD SHOW at LINHOF in Munich on thursday . Declare me legally incapable , so that I can not spend any money there . But , please allow me a good bavarian beer , before and after the roadshow .

Regards Jürgen
 
G'day Jurgen, Mate:

A calendar idea for you.

Find some windmills - The Netherlands, maybe - and do a series dedicated to the Don Quixote in all of us film users. Call it "TILTING AT WINDMILLS". Must be digital, of course. (Hint: Take a film back also).

Cheers, and have a nice time in Munchen, my friend.

Colin
 
Jurgen:

Good luck in Munich, the location of my son's favorite beer garten! I hope you only spend the appropriate amount of money to glee satisfaction!

But, please show us all of the goodies!

Have Fun!

Gilbert
 
Windmills... Kinderdijk comes to mind. Ample windmills there. Should have some B/W Hassy shots of them somewhere.

Wilko
 
Kinderdijk...
This little town has a rather good restaurant called the Windmill.
I was invited by a friend to have dinner there and could not find the place.
Turned out Kinderdijk has eleven windmills but the restaurant is not one of them.
Of course I forgave her after we had a nice dinner in great ambiance.

Paul
 
Now she must be a real siren Jürgen, with legs not a bird's lower half as in the original.
Munich sounds as though it will be fun. I hope your ship sails a true course. I'd give in and listen to the song.
 
What a wonderful few days of dialogue gentlemen.

Completely OTT, BUT, Col may have told you that in Australia we have a new citizens' test to be completed by applicants.

Here are 3 of the questions in the new test!

"1. Explain the following passage: "In the arvo last Chrissy the relos rocked up for a barbie, some bevvies and a few snags. After a bit of a Bex and a lie down we opened the pressies, scoffed all the chockies, bickies and lollies. Then we drained a few tinnies and Mum did her block after Dad and Steve had a barney and a bit of biffo." "

"2. Macca, Chooka and Wanger are driving to Surfers in their Torana. If they are travelling at 100 km/h while listening to Barnsey, Farnsey and Acca Dacca, how many slabs will each person on average consume between flashing a brown eye and having a slash? "

Now the BIG test will be to see if Jurgen can translate the first passage into German!!!!

I am way for roadshow now .

'Bevvie'?

'Slash'?

Strewth, sounds a bit pommie to me, mate.

Ida said 'coldie' and 'leak'. (Actually, there are worse ones for both!)

Anyway, you forgot to mention Norm's late arvo chook raffle at the bowlo. They all fanged around there after the tucker in Merv's Dunnydoor.

G'Day:

I wuz gunna read all this rigmarole, Galbers, but hadta drain the spuds. Been washing too much dust off the tonsils.

Speaking of tucker and chooks, reminds me of Army days, when in the Mess Hall, some fang bandit was heard to call the Cook a "#*$#". The Sgt. called out : "Righto, which smartarse called the Cook a #*$#?" From the back of the mess hall ..."who called the #*$# a Cook?"

PS I'm glad there are some Aussies in this Forum - it assures a 'genteel' tone and maintains a high standard of forum conduct.
