Hey, good work, congratulations on such a prestigious cover.

Wow, I have to say those are a really one classic looking series. I love the look in all of those and you really seem to have captured the model brilliantly. Well done and thanks for sharing this.

Awesome work as usual!

Do you do your own post processing?

For me, this is the best shot of the bunch. Do you have a favorite from the shoot?

mtansley · 04-26-2012, 10:59 AM

Impressive. Thank you for sharing.

A good argument to prove that you CAN be professional with Pentax equipment.

Is that a standard K-5 that is used?

Fantastic! What lens(es) do you use? Is that hazy/flare look from off camera lighting or is it PP

Nice series Ben.

Still haven't managed to catch the FT show Jeannie did on you, has it aired? I see they are shutting down FT to do other things after all these years

Thanks for sharing benjikan.... I always enjoy your work in a "I don't really want to do that but it's really cool you do" kind of way.

Used my K20D's for this one. Using my K5's for my next shoot though.

Thanks for the info. K20ds. 2 generation old cameras.

Just proves that it's the photographer behind the camera that really makes the difference. And all the other talented people that assist.

I'm keeping your blog readily available on my computer and ipad for naysayers.

I think you should say <the photographer> makes all the difference (behind the lens is the camera

). I'm sure he can shoot with a *iSTD and we will still see amazing results.

Great job, Ben!

What's really important is the lighting, talent and processing. At low ISO the K20D is an excellent performer.
