A miller Posted January 15, 2017 Share #26101 Posted January 15, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) Ramesh and Phil - Thanks very much, Gentlemen. I really appreciate your feedback and time! Great image. Love your work. Thank you, sincerely, gnuyork, Adam and Henry - and to everyone who acknowledged my picture. Adam, your photograph of Magic Hour from Central Park NYC is absolutely stunning. Such beautiful colour and balance. As I think I've said before, I imagine the SWC is a very difficult camera to use effectively - in my opinion, not even Lee Friedlander has been able to get it right all that often - but you use it exceptionally well. Bravo! Holy sh$t this is awesome. The pattern in the sand in the foreground looks like an imprint of a majestic sun. Congrats and I can't wait to get to a beach!

Advertisement Posted January 15, 2017 Posted January 15, 2017 Hi A miller, Take a look here I like film...(open thread). I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
A miller Posted January 15, 2017 Share #26102 Posted January 15, 2017 Question; I'm away to buy a 4 x 5 LF camera and wondered what film you guys use for Portraiture and landscape...........I've got an order in for film at B&H but haven't checked out yet.....see below Neil - film is film. What's with the question? If it was me trying out a 4x5 in a controlled portrait setting with natural light, I would use Portra 160 and also Ektar (yes, Ektar, but be careful with the exposure and you might want to bracket a little) For landscapes, I would use Ektar, Velvia 50 (the larger surface area of the film should yield a little better DR) and Provia 100F.

AWESOME shot, ye gods, how do you do this? Gary Ha, thanks. I used a 2 or 3 (can't remember) LEE medium ND grad filter to properly expose the sky. (the new "medium' grads that were released by LEE last April are really perfect for NYC; before the release of the medium, there was only a soft and hard, which I consistently found either too soft or too hard : ) And the the ND filter to get an extra long exposure (with reciprocity failure was well over a minute, which gave me time to accept requests to take pictures of tourists as this is a hot tourist spot 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another slide for you I bought 15 Kodachrome 64 in 2009 just to test in comparison with digital. I sent them to Dwayne's lab Parsons US before they close.

Guest Posted January 15, 2017 Share #26116 Posted January 15, 2017 Colours and textures look great to me Do you mean you rated the Portra at 1600 in bright light (pushing) or at 100 (pulling)? The pulling in bright light would make more sense. Cheers J Thanks. I was shooting in an indoor, very dark market and rated the film at 1600. Then, when I went out into the bright, noontime sunshine, I wanted to see how the film would do. Of course, the development had to be pushed 2 stops for the dark, indoor shots that were the bulk of the frames shot. But I like how the color and contrast came out in the outdoor shots. Very versatile film. _______________ Alone in Bangkok essay on BURN Magazine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
