Took some photos of the lovely Tegan on Thursday and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. Very pleased indeed. I used 800 speed film for the first few and they didn't come out that bad. I've always feared 800 film but not anymore.

| Hasselblad! |

Long time since my last update on here. The biggest news since my last post would have to be that I purchased my dream camera...a Hasselblad 500C/M with the stunning Carl Ziess 80mm Planar T* lens. I used it for the first time this week with distill and the results can be seen below. I didn't plan out any of this shoot because I mainly just wanted to test the camera, lens and film so we both just kind of walked around town and hoped for the best. The first above and the first under the cut were taken with Fuji Provia slide film and cross-processed in c-41 chemicals. The rest of the Hasselblad photos were taken with Kodak Portra 160VC film. The polaroids at the end were taken with a folding SX-70 camera using SX-70 film.
Oh and I've taken other photos recently-ish that I won't post on here so I'd appreciate it if you went to my website by clicking the banner. Plus maybe look at some of the prints I have for sale?
( 10 photos + 5 polaroids )

( three more polaroids + one cross-process )
These are some SX-70 polaroids. Last month I had 100 SX-70 shots left, today I've got 90 shots left in my lifetime...unless Polaroid decides to continue to produce the film.
The last photo is a shot I took of Tegan last month but didn't scan it in until last week. This photo was taken with fuji sensia slide film cross-processed.

( +12 holga photos under here )
These were all taken with a holga camera using medium foramt Kodak T400CN film and 35mm Kodak BW400CN film. These were taken a couple weeks ago I think but I've had the flu since then and didn't have much energy to do much at all. I'm starting to feel a bit better though. Thanks once again to Lisa for being my model for the day :)
These photos are meant to be viewed with monitors calibrated correctly. I've noticed ever since I've been getting prints made that my monitor wasn't set dark enough. If you wanted to set yours right then go somewhere like here http://www.normankoren.com/makingfineprints1A.html#Gammabox and go about half way down to the "Gamma and black level chart". If you have a laptop then...
I think my next shoot will be all SX-70 polaroids as I just received 10 packets of film in the mail :D

| PRINTS! |

My prints actually arrived quite a long time ago but I haven't really had a chance to take photos of them until now. Firstly I'm very happy with how they all came out. I was expecting them to look like crap but thankfully they exceeded my expectations. Secondly lustre is really worth the extra couple cents. I ordered one matte photo and it looked good but just very flat and dull compared to the finish on the lustre prints. Lustre lustre lustre!

This red leaves photo really blew me away when I first looked at it. This is the 51x76cm/20x30inches version but you can go bigger if you want. I think this may be the beginning of a new obsession of mine...making big prints of my photos because it just makes a photo look 100 times better compared to looking at it on a small electronic screen.
( +3 photos of other prints )
Please excuse the crappy over-powering flash photos but I just got lazy.
If you're interested in buying any of my prints just go over to http://lloydhughes.deviantart.com/store/ and you'll find all of these plus all of my latest photos in there. I'll be making some of my other photos available as prints as time permits.
