This hotel, on the mountains above the city of Levanto (SP), presented a wonderful location. The mountain, however, did not allow to shoot from the best angle, maybe the only one available. On the other hand, we could not have missed the view of the crystal clear sea and the old village. A compromise was the solution. With immense efforts, we managed to shoot the hotel by positioning the tripod on an angle, raising it to 15 ft. and holding it with ropes, so that the camera could protrude above the olive trees branches. We moved a few feet away and made a second shot for the village and the sea; later everything was stitched together using Photoshop.
"Aerial" shot. Hasselblad H2, Obb. 80mm, Ixpress digital back 132. Manual stitch.

A simple yet powerful Photoshop tool to effectively boost the local contrast of an image, by means of a smart algorithm which avoids the clipping issues typical of methods like shadows/highlights. The user interface is simple and clean, with just one slider, allowing the user to customize the effect in a straightforward way.
In 2000 Imacon, now Hasselblad, created a new proprietary format for the Imacon scanners, the Flexible File Format or fff. 3F has determined the biggest revolution in the field of original analog scanning since the introduction of the drum scanner.
First of all forgive us the word play, which might come off as presumptuous. However, we felt like we came up with something that perfectly summarizes our philosophy in this arena by uniting the concepts of high resolution and quality reproduction.
