Being used to my 40D, I'm always weary of cropping. The 5d2 really helps in this area.

Much stronger with the crop.

The 5D2 will open up all kinds of new worlds to you. Try some indoor shooting at ISO 3200 for real eye opener. Night street shooting at ISO 6400 is also liberating. Here's one at ISO 3200 and -1EV to take into account the brightness of Cinderella's Castle:

first photograph out of the Mamiya. Instant pack film (polaroid back) B&W 3000 ISO.
one of my Starbucks baristas @ my second "office."

Nice light and film texture. I don't know this lady, but I feel like you captured her essence.

rodi · 01-08-2012, 05:04 PM

thanks, Dave. about to start loving this camera. i have about 30 rolls of film on their way to me, and 5 shoots lined up.

Chewy734 · 01-08-2012, 05:27 PM

looking good Professor.

when are you getting your own darkroom?

dcstep · 01-08-2012, 05:28 PM

My first camera was a MF film camera 44x44mm, so just barely MF, but I loved viewing those images, particularly vs. my 35mm SLR. I would sometime intermingle 35mm and 44mm slides in a slide show and those 44s would knock everyone out of their chairs. I've never worked with as big as your new camera, but I can imagine the feeling of an even larger format change.

UdubBadger · 01-08-2012, 05:32 PM

wow rodi nice, I love film grain.

rodi · 01-08-2012, 06:08 PM

I'll be developing my own in my bathroom but I don't think I'll try wet printing any time soon.

Dave, I use to have a hassleblad 6x6, but I like this body a lot more. the blad lenses have no focus ring, just metal bumps. even though this one is plastic, it just feels better.

UdubBadger · 01-08-2012, 06:15 PM

rodi what speed was that film?

M_Six · 01-08-2012, 07:36 PM

Nice. Are the white artifacts from your scanner?

nice shot Josh... I like the tones and natural colors.

dcstep · 01-09-2012, 04:40 PM

I love it Josh. She has great eyes that you capture well, with a BG that flatters her colors.

The only fault I see is that stray, direct light cutting across her right arm and blouse. If you'd noticed that, I would have been easy to block off. If you cloned it off her arm, then most people wouldn't notice it on her blouse, I suspect.

must resist using while on vacation...

no, I'm not on vacation, but I wish I was.

The1 · 01-09-2012, 05:14 PM

nice Josh and Rodi.

So you shooting again Josh? or was this a one off?

That's good news, and i have to say that's one of my favorite shots of yours.

but like DC said, perhaps just drop the exposure a tiny bit on her arm or something and it would be "Perfect"

Cool shot, Mark. Love the silhouettes.

Another boring day around the house for me. These are the only subjects I could find:
