Leaving Mother Earths Womb



Been getting a bit of traction on Flickr with this image since it was added to Explore. I like how it came out. It was an impromptu shot taken on vacation with the family. I saw the little dug out in the beach hillside and made the lads do some poses real quick. Contax g1 21mm. Kodak Ultramax 400

This is lovely, but it could stand just a hair more contrast and sharpening. It seems a little flat on my calibrated screen.

Thanks Godfrey! Something more like this maybe? I see more detail in the shell front.

I've been playing a lot with the NONS InstaxSQ back fitted to the SWC/M ... I find this is a particularly magic combination!

Water Delivery - Santa Clara 2025
Hasselblad SWC/M + Biogon 38mm f/4.5 T*
NONS InstaxSQ back, Fuji InstaxSQ Color
ISO 800 (650) @ f/4.5 @ 1/4 sec​

I included exposure data here but, to be honest, the ISO number is irrelevant. I simply set the camera to f/4.5 and 1/4 second, braced myself, and made the exposure — a complete guesstimate. Same for the focus (about 6 feet). I'm amazed how well it worked!

enjoy! G

Great capture!

I bought the NONS based on your enthusiasm, and I'm glad that I did! It's so very much fun. So far only on my 500 c/m, because I wasn't dextrous enough yet to fit it on my SWC. I'm glad to know that you managed it, and I'll try that next. I'm learning not to expect much from high contrast situations, as the dynamic range is compressed at both ends.
