The light leak is even more visible here. I already ordered some niew kits of seals and the magazine will be first useable after the seal has been replaced. Anyway, any comments would be very welcome.
Yes, exactly, Nanda. Which also means that the images of the landing in the moon, which were made with a Hasselblad, were actually studio images. you are the first to discover this undoubtfully strongest argument for the consiracy theory about the moon landing.
BTW, I did talk about my light leakage, didn't I? So, don't hand me down second hand arguments.
I also doscovered what to do in order to keep the results of light leakage in low levels until my new trap seals arrive. And it is also a general rule. One has to only *not* put the slider into its slot in the magazine, except when the magazine has to be removed from the camera and the film is not yet completely exposed. This is because when the material of the seal gets worn out, the pressure from the slider compatifies the material of the trap seal, and then, when you get the slider out again, the worn out material doesn't expand immediately but it needs time. So, during this time you have a light leakage.
In addition to the above the material of the seal is some kind of synthetic foam, and all snthetic foams degenerate to... dust after some certain time. One should change the trap seals of the Hasselblad 500c about once a year, anyway.
It is great also to see, how much help and information one gets by the Hasselblad community. All the above information was sent to me via email from people who had much more experience and knowledge than I do. So, after all, I am still a student in the process of learing and this is already great news by itself.
Thanks a lot for the good comment, Kenan! I did take some steps back for a more thorough take and the corresponding images will be posted soon.
And indeed I have a starting light leakage which I am going to fis as sson as I receive the new trap seals. One of my film magazines is still usable but as long as I haven't already replace the seals I have to keep the slider out of the magazine.
But as about "Never let light from a sun or any source to hit your lens directly"... well, what about:
Upper left corner of the image is too bluish. The central part of the picture is dark. Hasselblad 500C is more applicable to the recording studio, but for shooting outdoors. Regards Nanda
Interesting photo, but maybe you should move back to capture whole vessel and water surrounding it. It would make this picture more reliable, and the boat would be the main subject, by this, i don't know if your subject is boat or a light leak. And you should take this picture from a different angle becouse of the shadow, You pictured the darker side of a boat, so the rest of image is overlightened, not so good combination. Never let light from a sun or any source to hit your lens directly :) Cheers mate, Kenan
