Iv got a big shoot tomorrow with the Sketches which im looking forwards to. It is loosely based on the film " Lord of the fly's". But also i want to take some sweet detailed portraits of them with the make up on.
I used a ring flash today to test it out.... going to buy one now or saved up for one it creates totally different lighting effects.
have a look at my quickies:
Last week i agreed to go shoot a local band called Sketches, Their an awesome band
( check the link out). I basically ended up traveling down to London with them from Leeds. So funny, there was nudity, cheesy mess and starvation. I took alot of shots on my 50mm 1.8 because i love it too much.
I also helped out with some planned shoots by Rosie Reed Gold, which turned out to be some of the funnest shoots iv ever done.
When i was in Watford, on Thursday we walked passed this house on the way to the location for the shoot. It was so nice and looked awesome. Check it out.
Iv got a little beef with users on Flickr and my old work that i put on flickr. It is when people upload the same image more than once but in different times or what is even worse, is when they upload images that are shot in colour, then upload the same image in black and white.
AHHHHHHHHHHgggg thank you for reading lol.
p.s. Ill will be uplading some new 120 slide film shots i took on a Mamiya Rb67 tonight ,, enjoy ...
Today i have a slow but productive day off scanning my 7 new developed rolls of 35 mm. Some of the images are crazy, theirs a roll i took awhile ago and totally forgot about the shots i took. I sooooooo looking forwards to getting my 120 slide film back on monday, i hope it has worked because i really want a rb67 now.
I will upload some new images tomorrow or maybe a sneaky one tonight but i am gettin rather tied.
Was taken in the studio awhile ago, while i was shoot my FMP ( final major project for other people looking at this, outside the circle of my photo buddies). I was editing my Lightroom library and cam across it. Its a strong dramtic image that is very in-your-face. The only downfall to the shot is the dark ring under the figures eyes.
A couple of images i took the other night. I am still inspired by Todd Hido night time photography. I used 3200 iso and on these shots making a harsh contrasty black and white end result. I like how the light becomes a spot instead of bleeding out more into the image.
Fujifilm sticks with film
BJP has learnt that Fujifilm will introduce a new film-based medium format camera this spring.
First shown as a prototype at the Photokina trade show in Cologne last year, the GF670 Professional will now be released in Japan in mid-March as a portable folding bellows camera, jointly developed by Fujifilm and Cosina. The production may be limited to just 5000 units.
Its most unusual feature is a mechanism for switching between two different film formats - 6x7cm and 6x6cm. It is also fitted with an 80mm f/3.5 fixed focal length lens, which is composed of six glass elements in four groups. The GF670 has an automatic lens shutter, and an SPD sensor with both automatic and manual autofocus. The ISO sensitivity ranges from 25 to 3200.
With its official announcement in Japan, new details have also emerged. The GF670 will weigh 1kg and measure 178x109x138mm when opened. The body is cast in magnesium alloy with aluminium parts, and the camera can be fitted with a hotshoe flash.
In Japan, the GF670 will be released with soft leather case and a dedicated lens hood. Pricing has yet to be communicated.
While Fujifilm will release the GF670 under its own brand in Japan, the medium-format camera has been renamed the Voigtlander Bessa III 667 outside of Japan, where Cosina is likely to have sole distribution. However, according to a distributor in France, 'Fujifilm and Cosina have still not reached a decision for the camera's release outside of Japan.'
Fujifilm UK was unable to say whether it would be selling the camera in Britain.
