TITLE: dancing curves

Arizona's canyons are mostly incredibly dark. I chose one of the lesser-known canyons and organized a guided tour for myself, where I could work with my tripod in peace. You can't see much through an analog focusing screen - you're virtually blind. For this reason, you have to know your focal lengths precisely and be able to estimate them. It is also important to be able to rely on your photographic intuition to capture leading lines.
My goal was not to photograph light beams like anyone else but to concentrate more on the "movements" of the rocks in the dance of light and shadow.
The photographs were taken with a Hasselblad 500 C/M together with a Carl Zeiss Distagon-C 4/50, Planar-C 2.8/80 and the Sonnar-C 4/150. Only Kodak Tri-X 400 was used as film material. The light meter was a Sekonic L-758 and the tripod is a wooden tripod from the traditional German brand Berlebach.
