Fun with MF images - ARCHIVED - FOR VIEWING ONLY

Same location as the last shot, but shot with profoto b600r and soft white reflector (beauty dish)

Just a couple of shots from my latest portrait photo shoot. You can see the rest of the series on A Moment in Autumn

Mamiya RZ67 Pro IID + Mamiya 110mm f/2.8 + Kodak Porta 160 + Epson V700 + Sekonic L-758DR + beautiful natural light, no reflector! All Handheld!

Thank you guys in advance for any comments/critiques/likes! Really appreciate it

Wonderful shots in gorgeous natural light! really enjoyed the rest of them on your webpage too.
Love the way film renders highlights in natural light, and so far my H4D-40 has come the closest to that gentle roll off in the highlights I have seen in a digital camera... no the same as film for sure, but certainly getting there!

Thank you Nathan, that's very kind of you I have really fallen in love with how color negative renders highlights with really amazing color palette! You are dead right about the digital backs! Although they may have greater dynamic range but they still produce different tones! My DM22 back is sitting in the bag for commercial work ONLY :ROTFL:

Just having fun today. Five image stitch. Skies are tricky and I am going to have to spend more time on that, but this a quick a dirty edit. Not only is there uneven luminance in the sky, there is actually a color shift as well.

Nathan, I prefer the last couple shots! I am not into highkey very much however, I think the hair highlights on the second shot are almost gone! The last couple shots, light is more directional, softer with beautiful overall tones! I liked them very much indeed, well done

Just getting my journey started here....went with a easy entry point cost wise and jumped for a used 645D and 75 mm f/2.8...any advise or tips for a newbie into the MF world is greatly appreciated...

The sharpness/croppability factor does impress:

Nothin' too fancy here....but it's a start to a new challenge.

 

[GrahamWelland]

Ashwin - welcome! Have fun with that 645D.

 

[ashwinrao1]

thanks, Graham! It's great to hear from you. THanks for the warm welcome.

Same subject also shot on 8X10 and Leica M9 and posted elsewhere.
Hasselblad CF39-MS back. 80mm lens. I've been comparing formats on a subject with difficult whites. The HB's bracketing is too shallow for useful tone mapping. M9 is a breeze. 8x10 TMax needs a triple scan in the flatbed Epson - a pain.

Welcome Ashwin. I've seen some of your images on other threads and I think you'll like the 645D; I would suggest you obtain a 35mm and 120mm macro for the camera, and maybe the 150mm FA and ..... ...- it never ends . Seriously, the 35 and 120 along with the 75 are a good starting point with this camera.

When I look at the series of the model in red, they seem to tell a story. I hope you don’t mind, but I‘ve supplied some captions.

Waiting for boyfriend, who is late

The car has broken down. The boyfriend has the hood up. Girl thinking “What is taking so long?”

Girl says” Well if you can’t fix the car I know how to get a passerby to stop”

Shashin:

This has a very IR look, did you do anything special?

Probably my favorite so far from your Venice series.
Love the naturally subdued colours, reminds me of an old oil painting...
