safe haven for tiny formats

[Jay DeFehr]

Theo,

Why the anti-digital apology? Is this a non-digital forum? Clearly you consider digital imaging worth experimenting with, having invested in a nice kit and produced this lovely image. I can't see where digital has failed you here, or how this could have been improved by using film or a larger format. I can imagine several ways it might look different, but that's not the same thing as better. In any case, I like the image, and I'd like to see more.

Jonathan, I like this very much! I had to look twice to understand it's two separate images. I like them together.

pfiltz,

These are great! I commented in your original post that was deleted, and wanted to re-comment here. These are great examples of wide angle portraiture, and that lens is amazing! I'm off to ebay!

Theo,

I agree with Jay, very nice work. One of the best things about this thread is the "anything goes" aspect.

Jay,

Thanks. It never occurred to me that they would be seen as one image, but I could have been clearer about that from the start.

A number of years ago I was asked to take some shots at a fireman's training facility in San Luis Obispo, CA.

Excellent but the first is the stand out for me.

Hello Jay. Thanks. I'm new to film. Been shooting with the RB for 5 months off and on. I'd like to shoot some with my 180mm but that freak'n RB is heavy enough as it is. Anyway, a few more from that series in Nashville. Now I'm trying to cut my teeth with a Speed Graphic

These look great, too! The cigarette in the top one ( my favorite) looks like it was added in PS! Don't be too disappointed if your Speed Graphic shots don't match these, they set a high standard.

Test shot in my backyard of this backlight fern working out the development time for Delta3200 at EI400. The grain looks much less than shooting it normally. And the image has more scale in the blacks than presented here for aesthetics. I'm looking for something to give me good handhold shutter speeds with colored filter options while trying to compress the highlights in the contrasty summer sun for walking around type shooting.

Really sweet series. That's what it's all about.
