Engagement shoot
Wow!
Jenn and Joel are awesome! It took a lot of work to get what I wanted, but over all, I'm satisfied with my work. This is what people can look forward to with an engagement shoot.
It was cold and damp that day. The studio was nice to work inside. On top of everything, my cameras worked like magic! I'll admit, I was scared to use the film cameras. I was afraid nothing would come out and I metered all wrong. But let's face it, every photographer gets the jitters.
These fears are normal and are apart of the learning process. I just wish they didn't get in the way of my thinking.
The film was a bit pricier to develope in Boston, so I'm sending them out to NCPS. They do a much better job and the scans from them are a lot cheaper for a lot nicer quality. Even if I have to wait a little while longer. They process them when they get them in and ship them out that day! They are fast, and reliable. AND they put the images on a DVD for me to use so I can just pop in the disc, and my post processing and album creation can begin! 17mpx too!
The people at the lab in Boston are mediocre at best, for pricey scans. I want the best, what can I say? The couples I work with deserve the best too, because they have good taste. :)
For all you techies out there here's some of the specs from the shoot. The first photo was done with Fuji Reala 100 film. As you can see, it renders the skin beautifully. I shot it with my pentax 645 with the 75mm leaf shutter lens. It's a fun lens to use. It is a pain to cock it every time release the shutter. The 645 was my favorite to carry around. I seem to have shot more organically in the studio that I thought.
The second photo was shot with the 40D. quick and easy for outside shots. The batteries were dying badly. The 40D is gone now. No more digital. Though I managed to do a good job with it (which is what really matters :D) I might pick up a cheap xti or something to keep with me for quick back up. It's the same sensor as the 40D. For more artistic shots, I'll take out the 67. That beast produced some killer shots, but I only shot one roll of 120 illford hp4.
I'll get faster with the film equipment. The picture quality from the film makes shooting it worth the hassle. And after it gets back from the lab, it's even less of a hassle than the digital. :D (image_438.jpg... NOOOOO!)
