That looks great! Good photography Back to basic. Just react to the situation and read the light. I like.

I have to tell that when I teach photography at beginners level I always tell my students about the first occassion I assisted you. It was a shoot at the Astoria hotel by Central Park. You were to shoot some sheik who owned the hotel at the time. We set up light in the lobby. Two flashes in the background and one main light for him. While you ran back and forth to control the light you told me to change the lens on the Hasselblad to the 50 mm lens. I did so and let the camera sit on a tripod.

The Sheik arrives and you shake his hand and grab the camera and the tripod. And the 50 mm lens falls off the camera on to the marble floor. I felt devastated so stupid. You checked the lens and put it back on to the camera. One advantage of using a famous expensive brand is the quality. Miraculously the lens was without a scratch! The shoot went well and we worked quite a few times together and I did really enjoy.

The point of the story is that you always have to check when you change lenses that it sits firmly on to the camera. That you passed the “click” when screwing on the lens.

Take care! Greetings from Sweden
