Tim Kelly Lighting Test Mamiya C33 105DS Pan F Plus by Nokton48, on Flickr
Yep this is Mamyflex 105DS with Parramender. Also shot same with 500C/M with 100mm Planar. Pretty much identical negs, hard to tell apart. Both are good shooters for different reasons. Now I have digital CFV too. I bought a case of Pan F 120 expired from the basement of MPEX, they had a pallet of it. Now getting down to the end of it. A dollar a roll as I remember.
Thirty years ago I studied Tim Kelly's portrait techniques. Now I am revising and revisiting it in my smaller studio. A Broncolor C171 monolight with modern 360 degree Broncolor Balloon Head at 90 degrees left. Another C171 with Pulso Softbox at 45 degrees left, set one stop brighter. A whitish fill panel semi silver at 45 degrees right, just out of the shot Finally, a smaller C70 Broncolor Monolight, with custom made old Broncolor snoot and grid, 45 degrees right but up very high, creating the spot of light just to the right and slightly above the test subject. The idea is that the lighting reads "dark, light, dark, light" which creates an artistic rhythm that is very classic. Mamiya C33 105DS Yellow Filter, and Paramender for precision composition. Ilford Pan F+ developed in D23 1:1 in JOBO tank on Unicolor Uniroller. Omega DII laser aligned with Omegalite Head and 180mm black Rodagon. Arista #2 RC 8x10 paper developed in Multigrade. Canvas background 8x8 feet "Classic Kelly Brown" painted recently for me by artist David Maheu
