Swedish landscape photographer Hans Strand describes Lofoten as one of the most scenic locations on Earth. Known for its dramatic scenery and arctic beaches, Hans took both the H6D-100c and H3D with him to capture the Norwegian archipelago’s diverse environments.

SHOOTING WITH THE H SYSTEM
Capturing stunning landscapes with the H3D, Hans noticed a few major advantages when upgrading to the H6D-100c. Not only was he able to capture a greater tonal range with higher colour accuracy in his scenes but also better high ISO performance with minimized noise.

IN THE COLD OF DAY AND NIGHT
With temperatures dropping to -11 Celsius during his trip, Hans found that the H6D-100c worked perfectly in very cold weather with the battery power holding out for hours. Shooting at various hours of the day at twilight, daytime, and evening in high contrast situations, the H6D captured the soft and subtle character of the scenes with absolute colour precision.

I used the H6D-100c for the extra detail which comes from the resolution of the larger sensor, but also for its better high ISO performance and greater tonal range.

Island in faszinierenden Details mit 100 MP
Für mich als Fotograf ist die X2D das, was eine Stradivari-Geige für einen Geiger ist. Sie ist die ultimative Kamera.

Magischer Realismus mit der X2D
Die X2D ist wie eine Kamera für Maler. Die Bilder haben den Hauch und technischen Hintergrund eines Gemäldes. Ich konnte die beiden fast nicht auseinanderhalten, weil sie einfach so perfekt sind. Diese Kamera erzeugt alle Daten, die ich brauche, um die Geschichten zu vermitteln, die ich mit meinen Bildern erzählen möchte.
