Lighting info:
-2pm sun to camera right (so it's high up)
-Vivitar 3700 strobe on 1/4 power to camera left under the camera

Yeah...I was pretty damn bored yesterday.

^ PSH, Dennis isn't even on this continent right now.

Justin, I love that first pic! It's fantastic! The only thing I can think of that would have made it any better yet was if he was wet. I think the drops would have lit up very nicely :)

agreed. Problem was he didn't want to get the place messy and I left the glycerin at home. Doh.

:( too bad. Still a great shot though!

Justin, few comments regarding your shots:

-I like the play on light....but there seems to be a lack of light
-Boost the exposure a tad? +0.5 maybe?
-The black and whites look better than the colour one to show the tone of his muscles....I guess thinking "Greek statues" would be what I'm referring to.
-Seems to be two light sources (window to left, strobe to right?)...what about trying to lite one from the top to give some highlight?

Other than that, glad to see you experimenting! :)

So when is Duckie gonna post his pics?

My new toy: Sony A700 w/ Zeiss 16-80mm f3.5-4.5 T* lens. This thing is FAST! Really responsive AF and the screen is beautiful. The lens is amazingly sharp. ISO 6400 isn't as good as a classmate's D300, but it's ok for B&W.

My assumption is that your comments are all regarding the first photo?

Setup is 3 lights

Kick light from the back and 2 strobes on either side feathered in a closed down umbrella. Didn't have another PW and left flash slave on my bookshelf at home.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll think over the +0.5EV. I'll probably make a print and finalize a decision.

why cant u just go with a canon... u rebel

I could ask you the same question!

Besides, the 40D has inferior AF.

god damn it I need a camera. :cry:

When he finds 126 film ;)

^I think there's a couple cartridges still sitting in a drawer up at our cabin. They're probably about 20 years old...

I wonder what they would look like if used....maybe like nothing I would imagine.

There are some refrigerated 126 film available for sale on eBay, but then I'm wondering if it's worth it. The camera itself was only $3, and the film is about $10 for two canisters.

For a whole $10, hey, why not? Might be interesting to see the effect it produces. The REAL catch might be finding somewhere to process it (although it should be standard C-41, I don't know how many minilabs would be tooled to physically handle the film).

What was THAT pic taken with, a camera phone???

^^^ Panasonic LX2 pushed to 1600ISO. I wasn't going for a technically good shot for it though. I didn't bother with any PP, as you can see.

^so whats the running total now? how many cameras can one old guy have

^^ lol (laughing out loud) <-- message was too short...

that girl is dangerously cute, the pictures do her justice.

you weren't meant to post my shots until we did our shoot together ;) and just cause i ain't on the continent, doesn't mean my internet don't work biatch!
