Nicole, Hasselblad, Tri X400 and natural light

I love shooting digital but sometimes I really miss the grain and the earthy unevenness of  film. I shot this set of Nicole just using natural window light without artificial light or reflectors on my Model:Hasselblad H4D-50, Shutter Speed:1/40 second, Aperture:F/2.5, Focal Length:100 mm, ISO Speed:100. The frame and the black & white sepia finish was done with Silver effects Pro. I have some Tri X400 images of 18% grey shot with a Hasselblad then scanned with a Flexcolor drum scanner. I scanned the film slightly bigger than the 50mp file that I shoot with Hasselblad H4D-50 so I don’t have to enlarge and pixelate the film grain. In Photoshop I place and size the film scan file and change the blending mode to overlay, softlight or liner light depending how strong I want the grain. Now I have the best of both worlds.
