A bit of tilt on the front standard. For the tree photo, it was a pretty extreme tilt. I wanted that one to fit in with a few other photos I've done that are similar.Originally Posted by hoffy

OK, thanks. I know interesting effects can be achieved with tilts. The last photo as well - the depth of field and where it is - very cool.
Thanks for the feedback. I'm keen to build on my experience, so each time I get in the studio I am learning something new.
Cheers
Hello!!Hi Folks,
These were shot at a recent shared studio shoot:
Dave by Ashley Hoff, on Flickr
Dannielle by Ashley Hoff, on Flickr
Andrew by Ashley Hoff, on Flickr
All shot with the same setup:
Rig: Toyo 45A, Caltar II E 210 F6.8 lens on Foma 200
Lighting: 2 Softboxes in a clamshell configuration
The intent on the day was to try different filters.
Dave was shot with a green filter. The effect wasn't as strong as I was expecting, but I think the lighting configuration flattened out the skin a bit
Dannielle was shot with a red filter.
Andrew was shot with no filter.
As for the studio shoot, a local studio has come up with an interesting concept. Once a month they run a meet, where a group of up to 16 photographers can come in and use the space for either $10 (space only) or $20 (with models, generally amateurs - that was the Belly Dancers that I shot last month). Unfortunately, they don't have any lighting equipment to use, but the whole idea is to bounce ideas off of other like minded photographers (there are enough of us with gear to share). I have to admit that I have really enjoyed myself and really like the concept!
Cheers and thanks for looking!
Wonderful set !!! I also prefer the Andrew setting !
Thank you for the explanation!
Please, how did you develop the Foma 200?
Cheers!
Antonio
Thanks for looking and commenting.
The Foma was exposed between EI 100 and 120.
It was processed in Rodinal, 1:50, at 20 degrees C as follows:
5 mins pre-wash
10 mins. Agitate slowly for 1 min then 2 slow agitates every minute.
Processed in a Paterson Tank, using a Mod 54 reel. 6 sheets were processed at the same time.
Cheers
Been sick all weekend and then had a developing/scanning marathon. 4 shots of 4x5 looks terrible, not sure what I did but all looked a little more like film base. At least my 35mm stuff looked great. So I revisited Vuescan on my Linux box and did a scan of an older image. This time she's flat on the AN glass finally.
300mm Ektar
Racked out almost max I think.
Patio light to the right of the right eye.
Reflector on bottom which I think it gave it a flare on the lens. Can't figure out how to darken the bottom 1/3 of this on Darktable software. Oh well, it's about the 4th time I did this neg and I think I finally like it.
I've heard it said more than once that art is not about answering questions, but about asking them.
And in these strange and uneasy times, there's one question that seems more important than all others.
A question I've sometimes asked, a question I'm sure most all of you have asked at one time or another.
A question some of us ask every day.
Perhaps the greatest question of all…
