I'm loving the Ektar 100 in medium format, and I'm enjoying the workflow too…the images are almost finished when they come back from the lab. Less slaving, more shooting. I don't enjoy the anxiety that comes with each roll of film, but I'll get over that.

 

Equipment: Bronica ETR-s 645 format camera, 75mm f/2.8 lens. I shot this at f/5.6 or f/8, not sure. DOF is right on the edge, as the dogs are not that sharp (since they're closer to the camera).

One strobe: Metz Mecablitz 60, camera left. Set to who knows what.

 

Procedure: First I framed my shot, handholding the camera. I wanted the trees lined up properly, not too much sky etc. Then I set the camera on the tripod. I used my incident meter to get a reading at the subjects' position (pointing back toward the camera), to see what the ambient was in the shade. Let's assume I picked f/8 and whatever the shutter speed was, probably 1/15. That's my ambient, but I want to lower that a stop and use it as fill, so I bump my shutter speed up to 1/30 so I'm underexposing by a stop. And hey it's film, so the highlights in the back, who cares? They're not going to blow out. "Analog HDR" is what I'm shooting here.

 

I set my light in position - using just the one light, since ambient is providing significant fill. (And I can't fill those trees in the distance, so I don't want the ambient to be *too* dark). I check my strobe with the flash meter and make sure it's f/8. Key is established, fill is established, and let the background fall where it may.

 

I could have just shot it as is, but I chimped it with a dSLR to make sure the light was in the right position. You can meter light intensity, but you can't meter light "pleasantness". Turns out I didn't have to change a thing, because I'd metered properly.

 

Oh yeah, CyberSync triggers and a 43" shoot-through umbrella.

I recently add the 5th monitor set-up but to find out the i1 Display Pro can only calibrate 4 monitors at one time, it is a hassle process when the Xrite calibration program can not support 5 monitors at the same time, will change back to 4 monitors setup as my standard editing workflow :-)

Intro (chanted, ritual, slow build)

Raise the banner

Feel the ground

Stone remembers

We are crowned

 

Verse 1 (marching, heavy)

Carved in steel and winter flame

Names endure, outlast the pain

Every scar a spoken vow

We stand as one, here and now

 

Runes are burning in the night

Guiding hands that held the line

Not forgotten, not erased

Every fall became our place

 

Pre-Chorus (building tension)

Hear the drums beneath the stone

Every step we’re not alone

 

Chorus (anthem, powerful, chant-ready)

THIS IS OUR KINGDOM

BUILT FROM THE PAST

WEAR THE MEMORY

FORGED TO LAST

NO SURRENDER

NO REGRET

THE CROWN IS HEAVY

BUT WE DON’T BEND

 

Post-Chorus (call & response, playful but strong)

HEY! — Remember!

HEY! — Stand tall!

HEY! — Together!

WE WILL NOT FALL

 

Verse 2 (faster, more kinetic)

From the fire, from the snow

From the blood of long ago

Voices rise, old and new

What they died for — we continue

 

Not a throne of gold or lies

But iron will and open eyes

History is not a chain

It’s the strength inside our name

 

Bridge (breakdown → ritual chant)

Strike the stone

Mark the ground

Speak the names

Hear the sound

 

(half-time, deep)

Memory is power

Power is the crown

 

Final Chorus (max energy)

THIS IS OUR KINGDOM

NO TIME ERASED

WE CARRY THE ASH

WE KEEP THE FLAME

NO FORGETTING

NO GOODBYE

WE RULE THE NOW

THEY NEVER DIE

 

Outro (chant fading, epic)

Carved in us

Eternal sign

Past and future

Intertwined

This outfit has a story... I got hit on by the gate security guard. He said he was shocked to see me in a dress and that he's never seen a lady trucker wear one. He also said I had nice looking legs. He made me blush 😊

"It is said that the sorceress of the Dusk Order can be found in every major kingdom known to man, where they bide their time pursuing their myriad agendas."

 

Work in Progress Notation: One of the most frustrating things, if unavoidable, is detail degradation. It can be very disheartening to spend a lot of time working on small details that dissolve when transferred to SL.

 

The images on the left are the base texture renders in Zbrush (Which means that it is just the texture in fullbright, no actual light or shadow rendering.) Even here, a lot of detail is lost from the original. The image on the right is in Second Life, where another chunk of details have been smoothed away and lost.

 

Comes with the territory, but it can be frustrating sometimes! If something important is lost however, that is a very good time to open the texture back up in photoshop for some detailing to bring out those important details.

Images 1-3 are varying exposures of the same scene, taken on a tripod.

 

HDR Image was prepared using the Photoshop CS2: automate -> merge to HDR. White point was set, then the conversion to HDR was done by the Exposure/Gamma method.

 

HDR image was then perspective corrected (to correct for wideangle lens distortion, especially evident on the closest vertical pillar) using the PTLens plugin and profile for the Olympus Zuiko 14-45 lens.

 

I'm sure this could still be much improved, but in comparison to all of the overprocessed, trendy, fake looking HDR I've seen lately I think I've used the process as it is intended.

 

The HDR image can be seen here LARGE.

I know I said I'd be back when I posted my last pic which was.... 3 years ago... Fail. Life got crazy and here I am three years later.

 

Much of the last three years can be found on my Instagram so follow me there and you can stalk the past three years of my life haha.

This was taken while at work one day and I liked the play of the sunlight coming in the windows behind me :) Link below is the Instagram link for this pic specifically. It is about 7 months old.

I also don't have a nice camera right now so everything is going to be just my iPhone 6. I will most likely upload choice past pictures from my Instagram as well as new ones I may take :) I am definitely going to try to get a nicer camera back into my life because I miss going out and shooting and using my creative side for something more than just an Instagram post.

 

I miss the community on here and chatting with all y'all. I'll try to be more present. I promise!!! Can't wait to see what you all have been up to the last three years I've been away!

 

Favorite or leave a comment and you will probably get a better chance of me looking at your profile too btw :)
