This is Repost, because management have deleted my gallery...oops..

An Arabian Stallion from some time ago using Film Camera. recently Scanned .

This guy was jealous of a Gelding being used as a Teaser & while I was there he Broke loose & did a number on the Gelding. A Very exciting time & All worked out ok in the end.

From memory: Hasselblad 500 CM Camera/ 150MM Lens/ Manual Focus & manual Exposure. 1/250 speed / Using Kodak 120 Film/ Hand held/

Constructive comments encouraged

Thanks

Bill

This is absolutely stunning! Makes me want to sell my wife and go out and purchase a Hasselblad! :biggrin: Seriously, this is seriously perfect and needs no critique, at least not from me. Good work!!

Well, almost perfect. The larger version could stand to be better sharpened.

I really like the dark Bg which really works well with the portrait of this beautiful horse. Well done.

The dark background works very well here. It looks a bit soft though, otherwise I really like it.

Hello everyone

Appreciate your perspectives and feedback.

This image is a scan and best resolution I can achieve. I thought the quality is quite good and sharp where it needs to be, but still is all there is.

Cheers to all

Bill
