Ad-Hoc Examples: Colorado Cabin
This page presents examples in the mountains of Colorado, taken with the Hasselblad XCD 55mm f/2.5 V taken on the Hasselblad X2D 100C.
These examples were some of the first exploratory images I took.
Images taken on a tripod, except as noted in caption.
At the time of processing, Adobe Camera Raw had no lens profile support for the XCD 55/2.5, so no distortion correction or lens-specific vignetting correction was performed. However, some images used a small amount of manual vignetting correction.
Includes images up to full camera resolution.
