Haa time to answer this one
I like the concentration, maybe its was just rolling a cigarette ... HP5 rendition is very good here, and the semi dark mood is fine. Exposed at how muc h ? _________________ Happy owner and user of :

Hexi,
Thanks for the appreciation.
It was taken at a window under direct sunlight, the walls in the background were actually white, but not lit; the model was actually trying to avoid getting the sun into her eyes, but the result is quite appealing nonetheless. |

You turned a white wall black? That's a pretty neat trick. Nice photo. _________________ View or buy my photos at:

Thanks Martin, Paul and Peter.
Paul, it goes on to show that in a photograph, what are recorded are brightness levels (technically, "luminance"). The directional light missed the wall altogether, which was only less than a metre behind her, and the film considered it as darker than everything else at that particular film speed, shutter speed and aperture combination.
When I was teaching photographic printing, a lot of novices could not get it: "the wall is white so it should look white" and such. Of course it goes on to show that a photograph shows only a greated "censored" form of reality
I still use that particular B200 and Pentacon lens, although the lens got quite battered since then but still keeps on trucking. Since all three of you gentleman have the same lens, I'd imagine you'd be taking it out for a spin soon! |
