Thanks Bryan. I actually got several good shots from this cluster of storms. It was over the Chattahoochee River. There was a small cluster over Worth County last night but I couldn't get a clear shot at it .........and it was too late. I am really anxious to get a LF on a storm like this.

Austin: I really like "Slab", it is both an "Austin Granger" (for those of us who are starting to recognize your style) with a touch of Robert Adams thrown in! A really nice example of making a great image out of a scene I would undoubtedly have walked past (or parked on) without a second glance.

I didn't mention how I got it, but my family was universally convinced I got this from the air and wondered what old plane I managed to get on. This day, I was just a normal guy on the ground with a DSLR at an airshow. But it's IR converted and with a 300/2.8 lens. Big usual reason for aiming an IR camera upwards is the clouds' composition, and this is no different. When the planes were in a spot with clouds under it, I got my photo. I watched way too many WWII B&W documentaries as a kid and kinda knew what I was after.

Here's another war film inspired photo. In the old films, this would be the shot after or before they'd let loose their guns and riddle some planes on the ground.

Thanks Scott. For as much as I complained to my wife about having to stay a night in the "wasteland" outside of Pendleton, Oregon (think fast food chains and gas stations and lots and lots of pavement), I have to admit I enjoyed wandering around there photographing.

Here's another one (excuse the stupid jpeg artifacts):

JPEG compression is not kind to smooth, gentle gradients such as open sky or large out of focus areas. I agree with Garrett, or my old eyes just can't resolve as well as they used to, because I can't see much evidence of that here.

Jonathan

I mostly seem to run into it with with very dark areas, as in night photos. Strangely, there are people on flickr who do a ton of night stuff who appear to never have this problem, or have discovered some cure for it. If there is a cure, I can't figure out what it is.

Oddly, the picture I shared above, which I grabbed off of flickr, looks better here than it does there, where in the shadowed street you can see tons of that awful jpeg blockiness.

Gotta love Kodak Ektar with its insane dynamic range. I've been much happier with the ease of scanning when you don't prewash the films...The colors come out much more chrome like without the bad cyan shifts.

I've hardly had time to think the last few months as I've been working as Audio Engineer and Project Manager for a direct-to-TV opera production being done as a cross-curriculum venture at the college I work at. This project has been a year-long endeavor. We wrapped on Saturday with 12 hours of shooting in a studio with a full green-screen and stage. While I had to man a video camera and co-direct some of the shoot, I tried to stay hands off on this part. However, I did shoot some behind-the-scenes photos when I could.

This opera is a new setting of "Pyramus and Thisbe," the play-within-a-play from Shakespeare's "Midsummer Night's Dream."

Here's two images from the first roll, taken with my Nikon F5 and 80-200mm f/2.8 AF-S, on Fuji Superia 1600. I shot a roll of my precious Elite Chrome 400 as well which is scanning now, and some Tri-X.

Scott, all these Death Valley shots are giving me flashbacks--you might say PTSD flashbacks--to a 7th grade school trip that turned out to be a total disaster. At one point the teachers marched the group of us up Titus canyon in 100+ degree heat to see the petroglyphs, and the group collectively ran out of water. Heat stroke spread like a virus and the hike back to the bus seemed like a march out of hell.

Nice images, though. I'm enjoying the series. :)

I agree, Scott's pictures are great. I was close (100 miles) to Death Valley in June, and I thought there is no way I'd go there except in Winter, the highways I was traveling were 105 degrees, from about 11AM until after dark. I'm sure DV was 10 degrees hotter.

Here is a shot from my hot world last weekend, near Tucson, AZ. It was a cool 93 degrees, after our summer monsoon rains.

During creatively fallow periods I find myself scanning through half a lifetime's worth of old negatives and transparencies as a way to stay connected to my own work. It's interesting to see how my shooting style has changed over the years...and how it hasn't. This one is from January 1987. Despite my love of large format, sometimes I miss just wandering the city with a handheld camera.

Oh, I still CAN wander with a smaller camera, but my youthful inclination to do so has waned. When I shoot with smaller formats I tend to treat them in a large format manner: slow, deliberate framing from the confines of a tripod. I need to load some Tri-X into my old Canon and leave the tripod at home.

I like the foggy houses. Very cinematic. I can see the camera slowly pushing in to the upper lit window to reveal....

Jonathan

I treat 35mm as a convenient way to scratch an itch. I carry my XA with me wherever I happen to be going for non-photographic reasons, so I can take a picture if I do see something that strikes me. Definitely not a substitute for the LF experience, but it holds me over between bursts of real productivity.

The reason the professor has a million cameras, by the way, is the theater did not allow any cameras in the building. He was taking them back to the van. Of course I was not quite cheeky enough to ask if we needed to hand over all dozen of our cell phones...

8-Sep-2014, 21:14

I showcase a lot of work here that I do for commercial shoots - I hope that doesn't annoy anyone. But if it does, let me know...

So today I did my first job for an architectural firm - shooting a new suite of doctors offices. I shot a variety of images in the suite, from the bathrooms to the exam rooms. I've never done architecture work for pay but I'm hoping to establish a relationship with this company and do a lot more. I really had fun even though it seemed "mundane." Here's one image from today. This is a blend of 3 images to get good midtones as well as open shadows and detail outside. Critiques are certainly welcome (paging Kirk...). Taken with my D800E and 20mm f/2.8 AF-D lens at f/8:

http://www.oceanstarproductions.com/photosharing/composite3ss.jpg

I also shot 3 sheets of 4x5 (!) just for kicks in the waiting room. I have to scan them but if they are any good I might post them as well.

Peter De Smidt

9-Sep-2014, 01:38

Bryan,

Nice work. Are they using the image for web display or for print? If print, I'd keep the detailed shadows no lower than rgb 15, 15, 15, and the lightest areas at about rgb 245, 245, 245. The rolling stool might've been a little better more to the right. Tonally, it's a little bright outside and dark inside, which is the reality, of course, but perhaps having an exposure or two with a flash bounced up behind the camera or a little to the right might've helped balance things out a little more.

Jmarmck

9-Sep-2014, 05:51

Christopher, I would say that you did very well indeed. Love the colors and depth in the first shot.

Jmarmck

9-Sep-2014, 05:58

Bryan that is decent but I agree with Peter that the interior is a tad dark. The brown is fading into black. For some reason the clipping of the base of the chair is distracting. I also agree with the stool placement.....................I wish my doctors office looked like that. His doesn't even have windows. I am left with nothing but my thoughts in that space.........while waiting.

You could call it negative space? :P
Maybe a bit tight (too close)

Peter De Smidt

9-Sep-2014, 06:40

Here are a couple more tips for the interior architectural shots. First, you could shoot early in the morning or in the evening when the light inside is brighter relative to the exterior light, but that's often not an option. When I get shoots like this, it's usually around noon for some reason. Second, in medical situations, I bring velcro cable ties along. There's always a bunch of squirrelly cables... Third, I have two large scrims about 10 ft by 16 ft, one white ripstop nylon and the other out of black. (I had a local seamstress make them.) These are useful for portraits but also for shots like this. If you shoot a series as is, when you get the room bright enough, there will be a lot of flare from the window, if you don't do anything about it. Using gaffer's tape, you can tape one of the scrims, probably black in this case, on the window after getting your outside exposure taken care of. It's best to do this outside, as it'd likely be easy to block the whole window, but if that's not doable, then putting the scrim up on the inside would also work.

Corran

9-Sep-2014, 07:16

Thanks Peter and Marty!

I had a flash but I didn't use it here, should of though. I will work on the file and see what I can do (I left a lot of shadow/highlight info on the table I think). I can see your point about the stool. I would re-shoot but this was a time-constraint project and the nurses were already moving in so I don't think I'll be able to redo.

Good thoughts. The interior lights were very ugly fluorescent lights so I probably should've used my flash to simulate. I did take some others with the lights on though, so, always things to experiment with. Thanks.

Me thinks they will never be tack sharp perhaps because you're shooting at f2.4? ;)

I posted this handhold shot on my P67 a while back. It is 400TMY so not the finest grain but you can almost make out the lettering on the building in the reflection of her sunglasses on the 1:1 version. Good enough for my level of work. My Mamiya 7II rangefinder really doesn't do much better.

I really like this Spur developer. The problem is cost. This one roll of 120, even at a higher dilution than recommended, cost me about $2 in developer. I'm going to have to save up rolls rather than doing one at a time, though I need to check if that'll cause exhaustion if I do several rolls in the same soup.

Yeah the clouds didn't wait up for me yesterday. Indeed, despite the contrast ratio, this developer kept the midtones looking nice.

I looked up that bridge and found an entry at the "Vanishing South Georgia" blog. Have you seen that blog? It's kinda cool to see these different places but they have very sparse location data, if you want to visit it yourself. The photos are also kinda meh.

Absolutely. I actually had my 4x5 with me in the car but I was scouting the area first, shooting handheld with the Pentax. But then I got kicked out because the place closes at 7pm, which is enforced with gates at the main entrance point. The nice old couple who were volunteering to open/close the park told me I could park outside of the gates and hike back in but it was already getting a bit dim so I left. Next time I'll be shooting the 4x5 for sure though.

A couple of weeks ago I was out at the Fargo entrance to the Okefenokee Swamp. Right at the parking lot there was this Great Blue Heron just hanging out. They are generally pretty jumpy so I had to stalk him pretty carefully but I got a few shots. Finally finished up the roll and developed it.

Yes, I have a 500mm. I have to use a monopod, at the least.
Good work!

Corran

15-Sep-2014, 07:29

Yeah it's a beast. It's like two of the standard 300mm lenses stacked end-to-end. The lens doesn't even fit on my lens shelf. Then I add an extension tube...

A monopod would definitely be a good idea but I forgot it! I was shooting at 1/1000 or 1/500 though so it turned out okay. 4 shots, 3 were superb, 1 was slightly out of focus (that's the hardest thing). I am doing my usual Pentax 67 trick and using my middle finger to trigger the MLU right before shooting the frame, to lessen the slapback. Hard to compose though when performing that trick!

tuco, how do you like your M*? I would love to have one of the 400mm M* lenses. I have had the 400mm f/4 in the past and it was a great lens, especially when stopped to f/5.6 or f/8. This 500mm seems sharp and little to no fringing right out the gate. It seems to be a rarer lens (not much said about it online). I got it for a screaming deal (less than 3 bills) from eBay, from a pawn shop. He had no idea what it was or the condition. Turned out to be dead mint. Never used, I reckon, complete with case/caps.

It's a darn good lens. And apparently it is a good lens on the 645D/Z too which not all Pentax 6x7 lenses perform well on those cameras. Congrats on getting that 400mm for such a good deal.

Here are a few shots from the M* 300mm I probably posted here before.

Great job on the dog photo. Nailing focus on that type of shot is a real challenge.

Thanks but it is not what it seems. I built a wireless remote control for mechanical film cameras and that was a test shot using it. It also has a IR beam when broken trips the shutter. Here is a picture. Those are DIY, single layer circuit boards I made. That black thing has a CO2 used to trip the shutter with one of those air bulb cable releases. My 500C/M and P6x7 take a lot of force to trip the shutter so I used C02. I also have a electronic solenoid instead for cameras that trip easy like my M7II.

Where did you find a stack of color infrared in LF sheets? As far as I know it was only available in 35mm for many years until it was discontinued. This must have been many, many years ago.

Hi my name is Jason and I am a mug collector.

My wife puts up with it. I like the designs of the mugs themselves, and sometimes the printing too. Other times, it's a useful souvenir.

I got this one while enjoying good meals with excellent photographers at Russ Young / Tillman Crane's soft focus workshop in the Blue Hill mountains. I sat at the table this morning with my breakfast and was quite taken by the mix of shapes and colors in front of me.

The worst kind of street light. The orange ones that are just horrible to color balance. I usually just leave my camera on daylight balance to capture light relative to that color temperature and those street lights make for a really monotone orange picture.

Still experimenting with developers. Here's a test of T-Max 100 at full speed in FX-39. I diluted it 1:15, and developed for 13.5 minutes.

Leica M6, 21mm Skopar:
http://www.oceanstarproductions.com/photosharing/tmx-fx39-0026ss.jpg

My observations is that this combo is exceedingly sharp and grainless. The midtones aren't compressed, the lighting was just flat. On a more contrasty day (typical) I think it'd be beautiful in the midtones, but some shots were overdeveloped so I'll pull back to 12 minutes. This stuff seems to be what T-Max developer should be, instead of the temperamental mess that it is.
