I took this picture with my new 4x5, my firts 4x5 ever actually and

think it is pretty good myself. I metered of the whitest point and

then placed that in zone 7 and then compencated for the extention.

I think that the exposure is spot on. What do you think?

I have resently started to snap portraits, and would realy like some

commets on my tecnique.

Here I used a 100X100cm softbox and a Elincrome600 Flash Unit. Film

Ilford XP2 and my beloved Contax645 with 80mm lens.

Do you think that I should have used a bare bulb or do you think that

The soft shadows work?

And isn´t Jessica a knockout?

This is a play with conventions. A blonde in an indian outfit. The

mix of cultures. Also one of my first studio shoots. Comments on

flash-tecnique and on the idea would be great. Thanx. Henrik

I don´t think it´s nessary to go mono on this.

I´d say it is monocromatic already. The only hint of colour is a slight yellow cast in the highlights, and the rust on the handle. I like it!

Shot just outside of Stockholm, Sweden. The rain had just stopped, so

the leaves were still dripping wet.The temperature was just above

freezing, and my lens kept fogging up. Today I own B+W redhancer, but

didn´t when this picture was shot, but one might have thought I did.

Fuji Velvia does the trick every time.

Great light!!! A standing framing maybe would have also worked, but I like the bucket. Try to crop just the two first stairs and all the smoke to the right.

Good work!

Can something trivial and ugly look good on film? that´s the question

I´m working on at the moment. What do you think?

Lovely monocrome feeling. I would have moved in on that lovley texture. I bet you could get some great shots there. Good work!

Is the horizon not horizontal or is it the fisheye that is bending it?

Captured in Hogakusten, Sweden at Hogbondens-fyr, just beneath a high

cliff, where there is a lighthouse on top(fyr=lighthouse in swedish).

The cliffs were very steap, and the equipment I used weighed aprox

20kg. So the constant running up and down the mountain drained me

from my last energy. I did manage to squeeze of a couple of rolls of

Velvia and T-max100´. Shot with Exakta66.

Any coments? This is a scan of the negative, not a print scanned.

This picture was shot in the north of sweden. A pol-filter rendered

the slow flowing water black almost. The image is croped some what

there is more water in the bottom of the frame.

Shot this rock this summer with my Exakta66. This is in the north of

Sweden, by the coast. I was shoting out over the ocean, when I by

chanse turned around, and saw this incredibly red rock. I slamed my

pol-filter on and fired. What do you think?

I think that flashing straight at the mouthpieces

makes it a to hard light. Try bouncing the flash

on a white piece of paper, or some thing. You can compose the reflections using white and black paper to get the reflactions you want.

I took this picture in april, when the temperature was just above

zero degrees Celsius. Medium format 6x6 Camera: Exakta 66.Film:Fuji

Velvia.

Any coments about Composition?
