Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 27, 2023 Root Admin ID:1569411 Share Posted May 27, 2023 Color I took landscape shots for a long time but back with 35mm film. So nothing saved from those day. Used Minolta back then. Then did no shooting for years. Then started shooting cars and that moved onto shooting models Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 27, 2023 Root Admin ID:1569413 Share Posted May 27, 2023 This was an expensive shoot. The costumes were from a Hollywood costuming house. The owner chatted with me for a few hours and was interested in the shoot so gave me half off on the clothing. Then the studio rental and 3 different models.

Could probably have been done with less lights, but as I recall I used 7 lights on this shot with different settings on each. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewTricks Posted May 27, 2023 Author ID:1569418 Share Posted May 27, 2023 (edited) That's mind boggling. My limit was 2 or 3, and even so, never quite hit the target. Now my memory banks have opened and I'm thinking about exposure meters....I actually lost one outside shooting just before a class. 🙄 Edited May 27, 2023 by NewTricks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted May 27, 2023 Root Admin ID:1569420 Share Posted May 27, 2023 2 different lights for the smoke alone 😄 The Martini glass down the middle had a light, behind her for hair, in front for face, side light for arm, etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

So nothing saved from those day. It was always a problem with 35mm, or any size film. The prints and negatives (or slides) could take up quite some space if you were serious about photography, and tended to get lost, or thrown out, left behind during house moves etc. No scanners, or even home computers, back in those days. And digital photography wasn't even a thing (outside of specialist labs). The first camera phone wasn't with us until 2000. This is an interesting read: https://www.cnet.com/tech/computing/history-of-digital-cameras-from-70s-prototypes-to-iphone-and-galaxys-everyday-wonders/ Our 35mm gear is antique now. Shame realy, with limited film/shots you learned to take more care and though with your compositions before pressing the button. I 'lost', well left behind to get later which never happened, my 35mm photographs (and some equipment) when I moved from urban living to the Lake District. Even landscapes that I'd had canvas mounted and framed to go on the walls got left behind. (Though I am now living among those landscapes you do tend to take them more for granted because they are just there on your doorstep). Hopefully someone is still enjoying my landscape prints on their walls. Edited May 28, 2023 by nukecad 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewTricks Posted May 28, 2023 Author ID:1569547 Share Posted May 28, 2023 Wonderful post @nukecad 👋 thank you. Thanks and acknowledgment to those prior patent holders, Willis Adcock and Steven Sassoon with a nod to (my hometown) Eastman Kodak. True nostalgia to read that CNET history article. You brought up an excellent point about learning to take care and thought in compositions beforehand. With point & shoot cheapies and even phones, digging deep into every single program to discover bracketing, overriding aperture settings, and then waiting that millisecond before the "click" (yadda, yadda) is makin' me crazy. I am very sad to read about the things that got left behind. Sometimes we just can't help it. My perspective on losing creative works (of any kind) is that the universe conspires to bring those to people that need and want it. You'll never know who has it of course, but I have an unshakeable belief the intentionality. Art rises to the top of life's never-ending stream and those who are watching nab the good stuff as it passes by. Being in your Lake District is in itself a reward.
