One on each shoulder and one around the neck! All different lenses. Or two 500 C's one on each shoulder and the SWC on the neck. A couple of magazines in the PHOTO-VEST pouches and a half dozen rolls of film. Yep and the assignment dictated using a tripod or not. About 95% of the time hand held. "FLASH?" please explain meaning of the word "FLASH?" :-) Thank you. cheers, Dr. ted :-) -----Original Message----- From: LUG [mailto:lug-bounces+tedgrant=shaw.ca at leica-users.org] On Behalf Of Mark Rabiner Sent: March-17-15 6:45 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: Re: [Leica] Some say Hasselblad must only be used on tripod... Lots of people who did everything with a Hasselblad and no tripod also did most of that with a flash. You could do that at 1/500th of a second and be there. Hasselblad use has an unusual effect in which people swear you have to use a tripod or that its made for hand held use.. And never the twain show meet. Me I did a whole lot of all combinations including flash with tripod both. The tripod was more about continuity and convenience that solidity when used with a flash. When you shoot a Polaroid and use a tripod obviously you get the same shot when you switch to a roll film back.
