Some more film shots from around the paddock at VSCC Curborough, and what a great way to start the speed season! Love the relaxed atmosphere at this event and one of my favourite paddocks to photograph too.

Decided to only shoot black and white on the day, mostly with the Hasselblad but there will be some much older camera stuff to come too...

Camera // Hasselblad 500CM

Winter 2004

Winter 2004

2004 - The first digital camera from Sony. A whole 1.2 megapixels, two AA batteries, and the feeling that an era had just ended.

No more developing photos.
No more counting frames.
No more crying over a wasted frame.

It sounds ridiculous today, because a phone in your pocket does more than many "cameras of the future" back then.
But back then, it was freedom. You could try, break, improve, learn to see without paying for your own mistakes every time.

I look at this photo and I see more than just a winter scene from years ago.
I see the beginning of the best days of my hobby.
