Cody Dresser
Yet another photo from the recent session Cody and I did, however, this is a film image, photographed with my RB67 Pro-S and 90 mm f/3.8 mounted on a Bogen 055X ProB tripod, using a 488 RC0 ballhead. We had been doing the portraits seen earlier in my stream, and I saw Cody moving a chair to another part of the room and decided to give up on saving the seamless we had brought in and use the chair as a prop. Cody did a variety of poses while on the chair, however the instant I saw this one, there was a tension present, a tension that pulled me in and made this one of my favorite portraits not only from that session, but also of all time (by me, at least). As far as lighitng, it was really a set up I hadn't used before, I was feathering a 22" BD on to Cody from camera left, having the dish aimed to go pretty much past him, and a 32" white reflector A-Clamped onto a lighstand to camera right, just out of frame next to Cody.
Film information:
Mamiya RB67 Pro-S
90 mm f/3.8 C
1/125 s
f/6.7 (I believe that is the half stop between f/5.6 and f/8)
Provia 100F at an EI of 100
Strobist:
AB800 to camera left, feathered on.
32" white reflector to camera right, next to Cody.

Beautiful shot! I love Provia film.
(Btw, on a technical note, F/6.3 is one-third stop of a stop between F/5.6 and F/8. And F/6.7 is actually the half stop. And F/7.1 is two-thirds of a stop. Not that it matters because this is still a wonderful shot! So, please excuse my nerdiness.)

i love the light
time for a new beginning [deleted] (53 months ago | reply)
While I don't quite understand the lighting details just yet (I'm working on learning these things) the quality of light and the subject matter are the things I aspire to. I would love to do a locational shoot at a tattoo parlour but I have yet to work up the confidence in my own work and the courage to ask....

I'm so jealous of that camera. I've been trying to pick up a mamiya on the cheap for a while. I've got a few I'm watching on ebay. Great shot.

How are you scanning your film? I just bought a Mamiya RZ67 and I am wanting to get the best possible digital file from my film.
