July 2011 portraits

Ari,

Such a wonderful picture, family and great to have such a big driveway in your house!

I have no problems with the marks, fingerprints too! The picture can be presented sideways and I'd love it!

Asher

Asher, thank you. We don't have a driveway, but there is an abandoned gas station very close by, that's where this was shot, and where we found a couch.
I have to look closer, did you actually see fingerprints?
I do have a wonderful family, thank you; I feel blessed.

Mart,

You have done so well. How did you get that lighting to open up everything so well? Was it overcast? Or do you have some trick like pre-exposure on a neutral density card or some technique in processing.

Asher

Thanks very much, its the 1st LF image I'm actually happy with. Not been shooting long enough to have tried anything like pre exposure, just lucky that it was a bright but overcast day. I am on a journey that both intrigues and frustrates me every step of the way.
Cheers,

Mart

Ha, ha....Hong Kong's far enough away from Denmark to be safe. The ironic thing is that he's one of the funniest guys I know

This scene was pretty hard side-lit from end of the day sun. Makes a nice environmental portrait AND cropped make a nice regular portrait as well. Gotta love the detail of this film and LF together.

Cropped some:
