How do we consistently produce images with superior detail and color rendition to all other photography studios? 

 

Simply put, we use the newest Hasselblad Professional Medium Format Digital Camera, the best tool in the world for photography, where ultimate image quality, color, and detail are important. The H5D-200c MS camera uses a 50MP CMOS sensor mounted onto the Hasselblad patented symmetrical multi-shot frame, which accurately positions the sensor with a submicron accuracy using piezoelectric actuators. It can capture 6 shots with the sensor positioned accurately at a sequence of pixel quadrants and takes color information from the Bayer-patterned pixels to create a 200MP capture. This results in a leap in resolution that has to be seen to appreciate the tremendous difference it makes fully. Be prepared to be impressed beyond your expectations.

Fine Color Rendition - Single-shot - $85.00

The key to the single-shot quality from a CMOS sensor is using a Bayer Mosaic filter. This specific filter layout is used in conjunction with software to interpret the color data from the sensor. A single-shot system delivers one color per pixel, and the remaining two channels must be estimated and calculated using a best-guess strategy. This is done in Hasselblad cameras by using algorithms that optimize color rendition and sharpness without disturbing the perception of the human eye by the artifacts always present in raw single-shot captures.

Extra Fine Color Rendition - Four shot - $160.00

The advanced Hasselblad Multishot technology eliminates the issues that the single-shot interpolation routine can sometimes introduce, such as moiré and color rendering issues, by physically moving the sensor 1 pixel at a time, thereby capturing the red, green and blue information in each individual pixel point and then combining these captures into one. This results in a true color and moiré free capture with increased level of detail as there is no need for interpolation at all.

Super Sized Extra Fine Color Rendition - Six shot - $260.00

High precision piezoelectric actuators control movements of the sensor in ½ and in one pixel increments. By combining six shots, offset by a combination of both ½ pixel increments and one pixel increments, the colors, Red, Green and Blue of each point are obtained with a double resolution in both the X and Y directions. The result is an astonishing 200MP full color image with no artifacts, such as moiré. The Bayer Mosaic filter pattern covers the pixels of the sensor. Moving the sensor in one pixel increments between shots, allows for the exact R, G, B values to be captured in every pixel. The multiple captures are then assembled to deliver the correct colors and ultimate definition of detail.
