Come hither... - a photo on Flickriver

Come hither...

            As a break from trains this is a macro study of a lily taken at home with studio lights. 

Captured on an entry-level Hasselblad 501CM (plus extension tubes), it was a camera that became my go-to for 5 years before work commitments became onerous enough for me to pretty well give up photography altogether for 10 years. 

I hung on to the Hasselblad gear for another fifteen years or so after this shot was taken, until it became evident that I'd become seduced by the convenience of digital and film would unlikely be used again. In truth I hanker after a film camera still, but realistically it would more likely be the 35mm Nikkormat FT2 of my relative youth ..... but who am I kidding! 

Hasselblad 501CM + ext tubes, Fuji Velvia, studio flash.
