First Hasselblad Image

This is my first post in few months, and I have some new images to present. I recently bought a new camera, well, actually used, but like new. My new camera is a Hasselblad H3DII with a 31 megapixel digital back. With the camera I also picked up 2 lenses, a new 28 mm HC and a used 50 mm HC lens. Both are wide angle lenses, the camera being a medium format. The 28 mm is equivalent to a 18 mm and the 50 mm is equivalent to about a 35 mm in the 35 mm camera lines. The camera produces beautiful images with very nice colour. It definitely is a different colour than what my Leica produces. I'm not sure which I prefer, but I love them both.

This image was taken with the 28 mm, inside an old run down garage a few miles from my home. I was a bit surprised at the colour that I was able to extract from the raw image. It was quite dark inside the building with a bright sky coming through the roof. At first I thought I would try HDR to get the full tonal range in the image, and I did try to use Photomatrix Pro HDR software to produce an image, but I was not very successful at getting a nice image. So I simply used Photoshop to work  up the image. The detail in the images that this camera produces is amazing. A jpeg cannot do it justice.
