Behind The Lens

Location

I took this photo, back around 1990, in my studio I had at the time, in Saratoga Springs, NY.

Time

No Idea what time of day, but during a daytime setup I was experimenting with.

Lighting

I was using White Lightning Studio Lights and color gels.

Equipment

This photo was shot using my Bronica 645 medium format camera on Kodak EKTACHROME Transparency Film, ASA/ISO 100. Bogan Tripod, a shooting table and a plexiglass sheet, painted black on the bottom. Not sure now what lens I was using.

Inspiration

Experimentation in Still Life's.

Editing

Zero Post processing, but what you see is a digital scan, using an Epson Perfection V500 Photo Scanner, from the original Transparency.

In my camera bag

I'm all digital now. That Bronica 645 and the 3 lenses I had, all the accessories and camera box are long gone sold. Switched to digital in 2007 with a Nikon D200 and a few lenses. Added a Nikon D300 and then a Nikon D7100 while waiting for an upgrade from the D300. I just this year, 2020, sold the D200 and the D7100, along with my Sigma 70-200mm f2.8, Sigma 150-500mm, and in 2010 I sold the Sigma 18-250mm Lens. So, in December I added the Nikon D750 for a move up to an FX body. Still have the Nikon D300, Nikon 35mm f1.8 DX Lens, Nikon 18-200mm DX Lens, Nikon 60mm f2.8 FX Lens, Nikon 70-300mm f4.5-5.6 FX Lens, my Sigma 50-150mm f2.8 DX Lens. I also bought the Nikon 50mm f1.4 FX Lens, the Nikon 24-120mm f4 FX Lens and the Nikon 200-500mm f5.6 FX Lens. Two Bogan Tripods, Two Bogan Monopods and moved up to an Epson Perfection V600 Photo Scanner.

Feedback

Practice, practice, practice and never stop learning and experimenting.
