Walt Stearns 53 Posted October 13, 2009 Finish some shooting yesterday with a Hasselblad 50 megapixel camera at Weeki Wachee Springs. The first one is the entire image shot with the 50mm lens. The second is a crop from the same image. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Walt Stearns 53 Posted October 13, 2009 Looks amazing.... Spooky, when you see detail in the raw file. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
loftus 42 Posted October 13, 2009 Wow; pretty impressive. Ironically for my pool shoots, I find even my 12MP D700 has too much detail, particularly in skin texture etc underwater. Butting having the ability to use the detail where you want it and soften skin tones etc would not be bad either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimmeineche 0 Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Walt! Amazing picture with nice details and colors! :-) I wonder how far from the subject you were with that lens? Looks more like a real wideangle picture to me, but perhaps it is not possible to get that much details then? Best regards and thanks for sharing!

Walt Stearns 53 Posted October 18, 2009 Yes, the detail is amazing. I have been shooting for more than 25 years, 35 to 6x7 in film and digital from 8 mp to 16 mp, but this stuff is surreal. You really need to see both the 3FR raw files (60 mb) and the 16-bit tiff (287 mb) files that are true 16 bit, not interpolated 8 bit to see what I mean. What does that mean in print quality? Well, if you are at DEMA, you will be able to see for your self at the Hasselblad booth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Rudin 461 Posted October 18, 2009 Hi Walt, Great looking stuff, can't wait to see the prints at DEMA. The other prints I have seen from this camera are amazing and 28 mm, 94 degree AOV lens is stunning. I would love to see some macro with the 120 mm 1:1 lens. Regarding Kim's question about subject distance, the 50 mm on the Hasselblad camera has about a 70 degree AOV v. the 46 degree AOV of a 50 mm on a 35 mm sensor. This would mean that the 35 mm sensor has about a 1.5 X crop factor V. the Hasselblad H3DII-50. Phil Rudin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Walt Stearns 53 Posted October 18, 2009 The sensor on the Hasselblad H3D-II, 50 megapixel body is 36 x 48 mm. The Canon 1Ds mk III (21.9 mp) is 24 x 36 mm, with Nikon's D3x (24 mp) coming in at 24 x 35.9 mm. With the Hasselblad H3D-II. the 50 mm Hasselblad lens which has features 70 degree coverage feels, looks more comparable to the coverage of a 28 mm lens on a FX sensor camera which which has a coverage of 74 degrees. as camera has about a AOV v. the 46 degree AOV of a 50 mm on a 35 mm sensor. Here are two more samples shot with the 50 mm at f6.9 - note the her tail is three feet further back than her head. as well as the 300% crop of her eye from the same image.

Walt Stearns 53 Posted October 19, 2009 Amazing stuff Walt!!Your picture on the cover of The Undersea Journals third quarter 2009? Cheers Karel Thanks Karel. I don't doing anything for PADI publications, I do my own publication the Underwater Journal, so if there is something of mine on the cover of PADI's UNDERSEA JOURNAL it was done without my knowing it. If you are referring to the Diver and Oceanic Whitetip on the cover of the Underwater Journal, yes that one is mine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frontcover picture is very similar to You'r work, but as written in the frontcovers inner side it's made by someone else Makes sence, cause IMHO the picture You posted here is better than the one on the undersea journals cover LOL Edited October 19, 2009 by Scubamoose Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
