Houses of Parliament 2023: Hasselblad X2D 100C and XCD 35 to 75mm

Test shooting with the X2D on the embankment in London. I can walk here from my home, through the quiet streets in the early hours : for me this location belongs to Claude Monet and his works from around 1900 when he would stay at the Savoy Hotel and leave with paints and easel before dawn packing a breakfast supplied by the kitchen. I am yet to stay at the Savoy but will in course do so requesting the rooms Monet used : These have been documented and confirmed by experts recreating images he sketched out as he viewed the turn of the 20th Century : Mine is a rapid throw away shot with the X2D as I set up to take the Millennium Wheel.
