Woodyfest 2019: Thursday Backstage

Backstage at the Pastures of Plenty

Between 2018 and 2019 I did some horse­trad­ing and [Sidenote: The fourth item in our 22^nd Annual Woody Guthrie Folk Festival series fea­tures can­did por­traits from the back­stage area shot on the clas­sic jour­nal­ists’ film, Kodak Tri-X.] upgraded my Hasselblad 500C/​M to a 503cx. I also acquired a Hasselblad Nr. 45071 pis­tol grip so I could mount a Vivitar 285HV Zoom Thyristor flash in place of my bulkier Sunpak 622. But oth­er­wise I took these pic­tures with the same equip­ment and film as last year’s back­stage pho­tos. Keep read­ing if you’re inter­ested in the full tech­ni­cal details; oth­er­wise just skip to the photo gallery
