A couple of pics from a photo shoot I did over the weekend. These 2 are probably my favourite. Feel free to offer any CC.

Gina Milicia if you can also comment on what I should have done when I realized I not only forgot  my extension cords to line the lights up like I planned but also this space I was shooting in was very small and I really didn’t have room to pull him away from the background enough for my initial intent”

Shot on expired Kodak Tri-X 400 120 film with a Mamiya RB67 Pro S & 90mm lens. Again more experimentation with a hybrid film/digital process.

Usually, I make silver prints from B&W negatives and scan the prints but this negative has some bend marks from the development process so I decided to scan and process in photoshop where I could remove the bend marks. Shooting for scanning seems like it needs a denser negative as the shadows seem to very challenging for the scanner, an Imacon Flextight 949, showing considerable banding and noise.

Strobist Info: Softbox camera left nearly parallel with the subject, just above eye level and reflector on the right. No background light.
