Digital Imaging with Hasselblad 27
never a part of the Manual in the years of fi lm photography. All the photographs published in
the Manual are also images as they were recorded in the camera without any, or very minor
computer manipulations. That means that all the images could have been created on fi lm or
digitally using the same camera techniques and for this reason I do not mention the media
used in most illustrations. By doing this, I hope that the photographs inspire you to use the
cameras to produce more effective visuals instead of worrying about which media was used.
To learn the possibilities of image manipulation, all photographic magazines today have
helpful and interesting articles on these topics, numerous books are available that discuss any
and all aspects of image retouching and manipulations and workshops on these topics are
constantly held at least in the United States. Study as much as you can, I highly recommend
attending workshops conducted by recognized digital photographers.
The Hasselblad Manual goes into great detail about all the camera operations, the
options you have in the camera, and lens controls to produce images in the camera with the
Figure 3-3 Film image. Picture taken with 250 mm telephoto lens on ISO 400 transparency
fi lm in a 205 camera using the built-in metering system to determine exposure. The bright
refl ection on the water was accurately composed to lead directly to the end of the broken-
down pier and the lamp post in the foreground. (Photo by Ernst Wildi.)
