Hasselblad 500 c/m - Mixed

[alexvaras]

I had the camera at school and now that its finished I ended the roll two days ago... Its really hot these days in Moscow and I took a short walk through the old boulevard ring and Tverskaya street.

This first belongs to the school, it was the picnic day, Mr Steve.


The other window from one of my coffee places.


I have something-I-dont-understand with this carousel.


The way up to the lab


Looking down, this photo needed a 6x6. On the right there is an old market renovated into fancy restaurants for the new post-hipster from 30 to 50 y.o. youngers.


With this photo I thought on a series I will slowly do, People working in the street, I know nothing new but its my series
"Ad Panel" Walking Man advertising on a chair, I would do the same.


Gardeners, they were very worried if I was sent by the "префектура" (who checks if they work correctly) so after speaking in Russian with my strong accent they even invited me to watch the football match this Sunday XD


About the Hassy, excellent in all terms except weight, carrying it its a pain with my flimsy (but super light) backpack.

This was my...Sunday morning? when I finish the school I completely loose in which day I live.
Thank you for watching.

Oh, I do that not-knowing-what-day-it-is thing quite often. It gets easier to do when you're older.

I think the square format suits your way of photographing perfectly, Alex. Or maybe it's the other way around. And Hasselblads build strong muscles!

Wonderful tour through Moscow, which I will probably never otherwise see. Thank you Alex, and take good care of that Hassy, it's my favourite camera and getting hard to find. Are you using the 80mm f2.8 Planar?

Yes, chrome one.
More tours to come, specially out of the main turistic places, Im happy you like it

Well done Alex! Those three gardeners are great. It is a very difficult lighting for the lens and it shines.

About weight, now you know why pro photographers have assistants!

Alex, These are excellent.

[alexvaras]

Thank you guys

Here I continue with some portraits done with the Hassy, still need to learn a lot to compose better.

These first two were random encounters while riding.

Thats all at the moment, thank you for watching.

Too often we only get to see the throngs of workers or tourists, but you have been showing us the individuals that make up Moscow. Keep it up, Alex, as it shows that folks are mostly the same wherever you go.
