Photographer Markus Hofstaetter created an HDR tintype using a super-fast 120mm f/1.0 lens.
The Delta HD-6C ML is a “monster” of a lens, and Hofstaetter had to do what he often does — create a custom lens mount to attach the lens to his large-format camera. Since the lens is so heavy, Hofstaetter needed to build support for the lens as well as his camera. “It looks a little bit like a Frankenstein monster build,” Hofstaetter says, while admitting that the setup grew on him.
The f/1 aperture delivers incredible, dreamy bokeh. When Hofstaetter photographed a flower with his “Frankenstein monster” kit, he realized that part of the flower absorbs more ultraviolet light, so it looked too dark when Hofstaetter exposed the plate normally. To combat this, he took multiple exposures, each with different processes, and then digitally combined them to create a “digital HDR image.
While the super-fast aperture is excellent for wet plate photography and achieving soft bokeh, it also means that the depth of field is “razor thin,” so it can be a tricky lens to use. However, Hofstaetter says, “If you get it under your control, you can achieve unique and very dreamy results. I look forward to using it again.”
