Long exposure with Hasselblad H4D-40 and HC 300mm f/4.5 por Alfie Goodrich Por Flickr: It was cold on the roof when I took this back in January this year, but worth the chilly air to get a few test shots with the HC 300mm lens. Part of the Ambassador Programme which I am involved in this year for Hasselblad in Japan means being able to borrow and shoot with whatever gear I would like to. The 300mm telephoto had been on my list of things to try for a while. I have shot a few times with it since having the H4D-40 but this was the first time I tried it out with any sort of long exposures at night. Since January, I've used the 300mm for a lot of different work. Superb lens. I'm in love with it. A lot of lenses you can't stop down all the way as they start getting soft past a certain aperture. This is sharp as a razor at f/4.5 and f/45 Keeping it still on the tripod for this shot, in the high wind was a little bit of a lottery. In the end I just waited for a gap in the gusts of wind. This is looking down Route 15 from our flat, towards Omori-Kaigan Station. Hasselblad H4D-40 HC-300mm f/4.5 1min 4sec exposure 100ISO f/45
