Martin T-M Posted January 7, 2009 Share #2 Posted January 7, 2009 Mark, these are three different mood. Very well done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuny Posted January 7, 2009 Share #3 Posted January 7, 2009 Mark - Due to lighting, I think #3 is the most successful for both subjects. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jc_braconi Posted January 7, 2009 Share #4 Posted January 7, 2009 Mark, I second Stuart, #3 have the best rendering. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted January 7, 2009 Share #6 Posted January 7, 2009 Mark, a) lucky man and I mean that in all sincerity buy a shotgun c) I like #3 best ... and I think in this series your daughter liked the shoot better'n Barbara. Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
vdb Posted January 7, 2009 Share #7 Posted January 7, 2009 Advertisement (gone after registration) #1 for me, great series though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_m Posted January 8, 2009 Share #8 Posted January 8, 2009 #3 is best and really nice. However, do a tighter crop so that you go almost to the frill on the dress on the older woman and you cut out the hand on the younger woman's shoulder.

mark_goode Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share #9 Posted January 8, 2009 Gents - thanks for all of the feedback! I'm very much a newbie with lighting and my experimentation can lead to some interesting results. However, having lovely subjects helps compensate for my many mistakes. Marco, a shotgun is a good start but not enough; the guys are understandably quite persistent :-) Pam enjoyed the photo session (she suggested it) but she naturally adopts her "model pose and expression" which is right for a magazine shoot . . . I like the look but sometimes have to remind her to smile ;-) Doug, your cropping suggestion was very helpful; see attachment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
doug_m Posted January 8, 2009 Share #10 Posted January 8, 2009 Great job on the crop. Much better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted January 8, 2009 Share #11 Posted January 8, 2009 Sorry, but as nice as these shots are... take my advice - you must expose more - (your blacks are empty of detail)... about 1 stop, and... develop a lot less (your whites are far too white)... say 30% less and decrease your agitation to one gentle inversion every minute. Try one roll like this and see what I mean... the new Tmax is amazing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
thompsonkirk Posted January 8, 2009 Share #12 Posted January 8, 2009 Chilihead's advice is pretty much the same as from Ben & JC & me regarding the earlier 'Little Black Dress' image? The technical treatment isn't fully flattering to your subject matter? Kirk Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_goode Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share #13 Posted January 8, 2009 Chilihead and Kirk - great advice. I've rechecked the negs and they are fine: lots of detail in the shadows and no blown out highlights. The problem is either in the scanning software settings and/or my post processing. I'll work on them some more. Thanks again for the feedback! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bo_Lorentzen Posted January 9, 2009 Share #14 Posted January 9, 2009 Mark, In your scanner, make sure there is no preselected contrast setting, scan it a bit grey then you have something to work with in Photoshop Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted January 9, 2009 Share #16 Posted January 9, 2009 Mark, In your scanner, make sure there is no preselected contrast setting, scan it a bit grey then you have something to work with in Photoshop That's some good advice: I've a few rolls of 120 (I also have a Bronica 645) and first impression was that they were too grey/flat. But indeed: it's a better start than lots of contrast iot DPP. Marco Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
azzo Posted January 9, 2009 Share #17 Posted January 9, 2009 Mark, # 2 is my preference but, all are nicely captured indeed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizard Posted January 9, 2009 Share #18 Posted January 9, 2009 Mark, all three are nice to look at, but #1 is easily the best in my view, as both the pose of your subjects and the light look quite natural. In #2, the light is from the back (which leaves the faces in the dark), and in #3 the light is too flat (frontal) for me. Cheers, Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
