Test shoot: Hai Lin #2

Written by Nasir Hamid on April 7th, 2012

After the photo session with Hai Lin and my Aero Ektar setup (here) went so well I arranged to do another session a couple of days later because the late afternoon light was really nice and I wanted to test out a different camera, this time a medium format one that was more portable and faster to use than my 5×4 Speed Graphic. I shot a roll of colour film as well as b&w but I haven’t processed it yet.

[Tech info:] Mamiya RZ67 with 110mm and 250mm lenses on Kodak Tri-X film. Processed in Kodak HC110, dilution B (1:31) for 7:30 at 20c. Processed and scanned by me.

Looking towards the sun with the shadow from the Bridge of Sighs

Looking towards the Clarendon Building

I like the shadow on the ground and how much detail there is in this shot despite Hai Lin being backlit

The sun was starting to get quite low at this point

I really like the vintage look and feel of this image. It feels like a movie still or promo shot to me.

      Thanks very much, Percy. I’ve visited your blog in the past and have learnt a lot about the goings on in Oxford from there. You certainly get around! 🙂
