old school; film and raw movement.
Who doesn't like a european accent? These two guys from the Netherlands were enjoying the Rhode Island woods. I had been poking around looking for people climbing, wanting that great shot showing emotion and action. I was shooting film through that antique (but not antiquated) design of the Hasselblad. The light was reasonable allowing me at least f2.8 1/60th. But, nonetheless, the proof was in the pudding. Capturing that right moment with proper focus and composition proved to be harded than I was hoping. The primary difficulty was focus - the only focus aid is in the center of the frame, but if I center everything it would be boring. I missed some fingers and toes in the frame. Getting focused quick, and then adjusting the composition is something I will work on. But, still, I love the look. The time weathered look of film.
Thanks guys, drop me a line. Definitely let me know when you'll be down here again so I can try again.
