Leica S Image thread

What was this Alan? Very interesting!

 

Thanks Paul. It was a work of performance art verging on ritualistic theater that took place at a Beijing art gallery last year. The man is He Yunchang, one of the most famous Chinese performance artists, best known for works that test the extremes of bodily endurance. But this piece was the opposite and consisted almost entirely of waiting. He pushed the crystal cube into a pendulum motion, waited for some 3 hours with an audience of 50-100 people, who weren't told what was to happen. When it came to a stop, he cut the robe to send the cube crashing into the glass. The tension (literally in the robe, and metaphorically in the space) was shattered in an instant.

That sounds amazing I will have to check him out. You really get a sense of the tension in your photo too. I love everything about that, the set, the futuristic modernism, the colours, your composition and...well, ok the boobs too. lol.

Ah, I know that location! The rock formation upper central is recognizable... I have a shot from a few feet further leftward with S2 and 165mm Pentax. But it's way different as yours is so atmospheric and you braved the snow to get out there! :)

The green F button is for using CF lenses on a focal plane shutter body, which would be any of the 2 series bodies.

Thanks Jip.

So basically when I am using my Hasselblad 250 on the S the shutter dial can be anywhere, the aperture dial is as it is for changing aperture and set the body on A??

I find that its better to shoot the Hasselblad at a +1 EV as for some reason it likes to give about a 1 stop under exposed picture

Well since you don't use the shutter in the lens you can set it to whatever, as long as the leaf shutter remains open.

The +1 EV is a good way to fix that problem sure! :)
