MarkP Posted March 1, 2016 Share #2 Posted March 1, 2016 Silhouettes, smoke, shadow, lens flare, and a feeling of tension between the subjects. Well done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MT0227 Posted March 1, 2016 Share #6 Posted March 1, 2016 Wonderful shot Adam. The scene you've captured makes me feel right at home I also think the light coming though the plastic cup is a really cool addition to the frame. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A miller Posted March 1, 2016 Author Share #7 Posted March 1, 2016 Advertisement (gone after registration) Iduna - you do indeed have a very enlightened mind... thanks for the remarks... Marc - Thanks a lot. Last winter I spent much of my free time shooting people in the light; so I thought that this winter I'd focus on people out of the direct light....

Steve Ricoh Posted March 2, 2016 Share #11 Posted March 2, 2016 A very well composed stylish shot, Adam. M-A users either use a hand held light meter, or guess. For situations similar to the one presented, guess work would be incredible. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A miller Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted March 2, 2016 Kalifornier, Steve and Jhon - Thanks very much for the comments. Steve - I had this "look" in mind for the entire roll that I was shooting and so, in order to increase the chance of getting minimal shadow detail and bright highlights, I pushed the film (portra 400) to 640 and then "expanded" it in development by rating it at 800. The pushing gave me a little faster shutter (for crisper results) and also increased the contrast (which helped crush the shadows and pop the highlights) but not in a way that makes the negatives too dense (which would negatively affect resolution). The further "expansion" to 800 was done to pop the highlights even more (with which film is so foregiving) without also proportionally increasing the shadow details. I can't say that I knew exactly what I was going to get. But I did have a vision and a plan to (try to) execute it. The fun of playing around with this kind of stuff is why I like film so much. Thanks for raising the point. A very well composed stylish shot, Adam. M-A users either use a hand held light meter, or guess.

AAK Posted March 4, 2016 Share #14 Posted March 4, 2016 A very well composed stylish shot, Adam. M-A users either use a hand held light meter, or guess. For situations similar to the one presented, guess work would be incredible. Great photo! I have an M-A and use Sunny 16 in daylight or a handheld meter indoors. For a shot like this, the guessing would be minimal for me: wide open lens, 1/30 sec, push 2 stops, pray. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkP Posted March 5, 2016 Share #15 Posted March 5, 2016 Great photo! I have an M-A and use Sunny 16 in daylight or a handheld meter indoors. For a shot like this, the guessing would be minimal for me: wide open lens, 1/30 sec, push 2 stops, pray. Nicely summarised and I think that's about right for me too. I also tend to pick the minimal shutter-speed I think I can safely handhold (depending on lens focal length and situation), maximum/near-maximum aperture, and let the film's exposure latitude (and my processing) do the rest.

NB23 Posted March 5, 2016 Share #16 Posted March 5, 2016 This shot definitely looks like f5.6@1/1000 to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NB23 Posted March 5, 2016 Share #17 Posted March 5, 2016 Sorry, I thought iso 160. This looks like f8 @1/1000 to me Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

AAK and Mark - thanks for your comments. Nenad is pretty close to what I used. I can't recall the luminance of the sun exactly. But it was pretty early in the morning (7:30-8am'ish, with a sunrise time of about 6:45'ish). Typically, the early morning sun is still gaining its strength and so isn't extremely bright yet (and so isn't giving a 15EV even in direct sunlight). So I may have used 1/500 and f8'ish. I try to get to 1/1000 whenever I can, though, for shooting people who are or may be in motion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
