Hi Philip,
Thanks for that recommendation. I'll search that book out. I like it just the title already.

Practicing trying to learn studio lighting I pulled out the old banjo/uke.

Here's both headstock and soundboard (?) end.

Those are beautiful Jim - even on my computer monitor. I can only imaging how stunning the prints look like in real life!
Chris

Love those shots Bryan! Keep 'em coming, please. As a former trombonist, I really feel that last one!

Thanks, Chris

Great portraits ^^^ Tin Can and Alessandro. Love 'em both.

Chris

Thanks Bryan,
Love those astrophotography shots. That looks like one heck of a storm a brewin' Scott. Beautiful.

Hi Fungus,
I have the Pentax (Zone VI modified), Minolta FlashMeter III with spot attachment, and a Gossen Luna six that is supposed to do somewhat spot (can't remember the angle). I love the look...

Love those shots Austin.

Great work Richard, tuco, and Bryan.

Love that image Axelwik. Beautiful. It's inspired me to get out there.

And on a practical note, I like the idea of sharing the cell phone image of the print. Of course it isn't the same as the...

I like it Michael - colours definitely come across. I have many quirks and flaws - just ask my wife, she'll happily organize them according to any criteria you want - but a sweet tooth isn't really...

That's a very sweet photo Michael R!

Love it ^^^ mr-alvandi. Beautiful.

Chris

Great shot ^^^ cuypers. Love it. I really like how there is still separation between the dark shirt and the background. I've often been guilty of the shirt top and background being all black and I...

Beautiful portraits ^^^ acrobatic citron, deardorffuser, and Peter. Love them all.

Chris

Great shot Peter ^^^. I imagine that tree could tell some amazing stories!

Chris

More beautiful shots iga, Scott, and tuco. Love them all.

Chris

Jim, I concur. Your 8x10 above ^^^ is gorgeous!

Chris

Hi Daniel,
Thanks, I haven't heard of the Perfect Poser before. Seems like it could be handy.

Chris

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for showing your setup. My "studio" is not very big either, but this definitely gives me inspiration. I like the idea of building one's own diffusion screens. Question: is that a...

Andrew,
I noticed in the video you measured the negative density range (1.69 - or was it 1.59?), and I was wondering how you are using that? Is it just for information, are you aiming for a...

Thanks tuco. Another great shot you got from the store next door on that outing ^^^. Love it.

Chris

A beautiful and chilly winter hike with my dogs near my home a number of years ago revealed this scene. Shot on HP-5+ with my Minolta XD-11 and MD 24mm F2.8 and developed with DD-X long before I...

Daniel,
Really nice still life shots. Thanks for sharing the link to the Steve Sint tutorials. There's lots a great things there, and I see a deep dive into this stuff over the winter season.
Chris

Great video Andrew. I laughed, I cried, ... Ok, technically I didn't cry, but I did laugh. And love the shot too.
Chris

Great shots tuco. That place looks like a real treasure trove where I’d love to get lost!

Chris

Scott, I just wanted to add how much I like this whole series, too. Beautiful.
Chris

Thanks Peter. I really like both dog pic’s you posted a page ago. I hope today is a better day.

Chris

Nice portraits all. Here's my 2 year old English Springer Spaniel deeply contemplating whether he should chase the squirrel or the bird once he gets released from his custody.

Chris

Beautiful recent photos ^^^ John, Austin, and Bryan (most recently). Love it all. Thanks for sharing.
Chris

^^^ That's beautiful darr. Love it. Thanks for sharing.
Chris

Love this shot bashful. You probably know this, but for anyone else following, there is a legal battle going on regarding the demolition of this, "the most photographed house in Canada". ...

That's very cool John. What a great place that I need to visit again soon. For anyone else following along here's a link (I have no affiliation, and I think admission is by donation anyway):...

That's beautiful ^^^ John O. Love the bike and the shot!
Thanks for sharing it.
Chris

Love all those portraits ^^^ Francis R. You've given me inspiration make some attempts of my own.

I agree with all the other comments FrancisR. That's a wonderful photo - love the lighting. Thanks for sharing it.
Chris

Love it ^^^ Igor. The lighting really highlights the texture.
Thanks, Chris
