I agree, based on results, you should have kept it!

I'm sad about all the fond memorys I have of that cam... had it since 86! the gear that replaced it produces even better results, and at a more friendly workflow.

What did you replace it with..?:+]

So not to bore, the last I'll post of this series.
From this morning before the clients walked in.

Hi Ron,

Lovely shot.

I also have a Lens Baby 3G with a Nikon mount and I've just been on there Lens Baby website and there is no mention of a Mamiya mount.

It would be appreciated if you could enlighten me on how you got your Lens Baby to fit.

Regards

Simon

Thanks

Simon

Glad you found it. Looking forward to seeing some images once you get it!
Glad this thread is still going!

Ok one from today

Stunning image Frank. The textures pop out against the skin with no signs of any halo-ing from PP. Any tech info?
cheers, David

Frank, wonderful combination of colours and textures.

Simon, that's a great location.

Hi Frank,

Thanks for your kind words.

Cambridge is a two hour drive south of Auckland and is very beautiful.

Unfortunately it and the surround country side is suffering from a drought so the grass is very brown.

This was one of 3 shots we did at the stud farm called The Oaks Stud.
As my assistant and I were setting up the lights, I was standing next to the computer just as one of the stable girls came out of the stables.

She could have been Paris Hiltons twin sister, amazing, so of course I just had to make polite conversation.

She said if she had known that we were coming she would have wore her riding cloths with the long brown bots and crop. Unfortunately all she had on was a pink tank top and cut of jeans, bugger.

Anyway it made my day.

Cheers

Simon

On my monitor everything but the car looks massively oversharpened?

Hi Andy,

Looks fine on my MacBook.

Cheers

Simon

Ok, so forget the horses, there was always the car ?

This image was taken with a Mamiya RZII D, 120mm lens, 400 F16 with a ZD Back ISO 50.

Don't you just love ISO25

It looked like HDR to me. Nice shot though.

Thanks Streewise,

The car image has been extensively been played around by me just to see what sort of tricks I could do with it, i.e. blur the wheels, change the contrast, etc.

I can image in the hands of a proper high end photo retoucher as I know my client is going to do that it is going to look completely different to the original.

Most of the changes where with a independent soft wear company to Adobe.

As I say to my clients I know enough about Photoshop which is very little to be dangerest.

Cheers

Simon

Anyone following our exploits for the past couple weeks will know we were in Carmel California shooting with our good friend Ken Doo. Ken took the time to take us around to the various scenic spots in and around Carmel and Big Sur; he even attempted to have us catch pneumonia the last shooting day we were there by shooting at Pfeiffer Beach were the temperature was in the mid to lower 40's and a wind blowing in excess of 30MPH., creating a wind-chill in the mid to lower 20's.

This is the last image we took in Carmel. This was captured handheld with the Mamiya AFD II, P30+ and 28mm lens. 1/200 at f/8.

Enjoy!

Ixpress 96

From yesterday. Rollei 6008AF, Sinar e75, 80mm f2.8

Great shot. Love the atmosphere.

great shot and beautiful atmosphere!

Thierry

Just adding a new recent picture, this is taken with the Rollei 6008AF and a 180/2.8 AF and the Imacon Ixpress 96, of course handheldClick to view attachment

I made a little vid of model test shoots 90% hassy + sinar54LV

HERE

Doesnt really show the quality of the images - but there is fun to be had and a need for good synch peed sometimes

SMM

I thought much the same, but I was thinking HDR more than oversharpening as the DR in that shot must have been huge.

-Edited-

From today. Sinar e75 (which I have on loan at the moment) ISO 100, Rollei 6008AF, 80mm f2.8 @f16

Interesting... I realize this is a fashion shoot and the emphasis is supposed to be on the clothes, but the models' faces seem to be hidden in shadow, and that made me wonder what they were hiding from. Not a message I would want to give when selling something...

Maybe just me...

Mike.

P.S.

Liked the first series much better.

Yes They were meant to be dark...:+}
Thanks
Snook

Some nice work there, Snook.

Thanks a lot Foto-Z,
I appreciate it. especially coming from you..:+]

This is inspiration. Can you tell us more about this shot? What was it for, etc. Is the grain high ISO MF or added in development?
