“Thanks to words, we have been able to rise above the brutes; and thanks to words, we have often sunk to the level of demons”
~ Aldous Huxley [English Novelist and Critic, 1894-1963]
From a test shoot at my Studio Portraiture class with Kensia in front of the camera.
The lighting is a Bowen flashhead with a snoot, shot from the front, slightly right and sightly above, with a white reflector from the left to blanace out the shadows The light's set for an f8 exposure. There's also a background light, one stop below.
When you are just learning how to use a camera, sometimes you end up with horrible ghosts of images that you can sometimes tease into something. This being an example.
Apparently it's actually quite common to have difficulty with the focus on the Agfa Ansco I got in December. So that's my excuse for the fuzzy, and not my lack of understanding the new camera.

From a test shoot at my Studio Portraiture class. Model here is Megan, one of my classmates nieces. BTW I'm with Anthony on this one- any disrespectful comments will be deleted.
The lighting are all Bowen flashheads, two behind with honeycombs at 45 degree angles for rim lighting on the hair, an additional honeycomb light (seen here) pointing at the white background, and one softbox in front. The softbox is set for f8, and the other two are about 1 and half stops below, and the one on the background is one stop over.
In Photoshop I've slightly tightened the contrast, turned it monochrome, and used colour balance to simulate a dutotone effect.
We were in Kamloops to have work done on the Jeep. Given a courtesy vehicle, we went exploring Tranquille. So lovely to hear these beauties fill the air, and to have a chance to capture one with my new-to-me camera.
learning, learning, learning... slowly trying to add a little skill to that moment before i point and shoot
Mom quilted this. Dad did the marking for her. I got it in the Best of Guilds show at Images in Lowell, sponsored by the New England Quilt Museum.
