Indulgence II by tubb Via Flickr: Hasselblad 500C/M, Zeiss Distagon 50mm f/4 C T*, Fuji Velvia 100 You get up and get dressed for warmth. Sling the bag and the tripod in the car and head for the hills. Landscape is the raw material and even the hard hearted can't avoid the dawn. Desaturated and detached gives in to the luscious. Gimme. You park the car, feeling ashamed. The glow is already beginning and you should have been here 20 minutes ago. Wellies. Grab the kit. Rush over to where your think you can grab some foreground interest. Wrestle with the tripod and the ridiculous camera. Change lens. Change backs. Compose. Move the camera around. Get it level. Compose. Coarse focus. Meter. Shadows are just going to be black on Velvia anyway. Choose exposure. Come on. Give me this one, just once and I'll go back to taking photos in the woods, concrete and urban detritus. Focus. f16 and B. Fix release cable. Remove darkslide. Click. Grasshoppers. Thumb up. Pop. Wind. Roll finishes. Sky fades to normal Sussex morning.
