Apart from several other things that are cool about shooting with the H4D40 camera one of them is that what you see is what you get. I remember specifically looking at something and thinking its wow and then taking and a shot looking at my hassy viewfinder, it was such an unbelievable replicate. I was wondering how sad it is that as photographers we sometimes just have to settle for not getting what we see and fall in love with. The Hassy shows you what your eyes see … that’s where the magic lies, getting what you truly were after as an image maker. The devil does lie in the details and details are what are lost in lamely constructed cameras. Any how, for those of you who are just tuning in… feel free to look at this blog post to see what I’m up to with this project. My muse Anastasia continues to capture my undying interest.
Exploration with Anastasia continues! The sharpness that these lenses offer is flawless…
I wish however that deleting would be easier… sometimes i have to go one too many step to do that.
This is a continuation of my project bout Anastasia folks. Please refer to previous posts to see this series develop and grow. During shooting this scene I was particularly in love with the True Focus feature on H4D40. It locks in on the focus and as long as you don’t move out of the range, you can be sure you are right on with your focus. What’s important is that you can’t tell a ballerina to repeat a move too many times without pissing her off and you don’t want your only ballerina pissed off that’s for sure. ![]()
