Very nice...I also really like the "Big Guys" shot!

I just didn't fit in. While walking along Bandon Beach, I came across a group of people apparently on a photo trip...

I think I ran into these same guys earlier in the week. I was shooting with the 4x5 at Wahkeena Falls and this gang of Nikons and Canons and Gitzos piles out of a van and huffs up the trail towards Fairy Falls. I got to talk with one of the older guys who decided that the trail was too steep for him. He said it was a paid photography tour (Russ Burden) and that they were headed south to Bandon after some time in the Columbia Gorge. He was a nice guy and was shooting with high end Canon stuff mounted on a Gitzo with an inverted Acratech head. I think he said he was a petroleum engineer from Texas. He told me that they were on a very tight schedule (Columbia Gorge in one morning!?) and would be based out of Bandon for the majority of their time.

I told him to come back to the Gorge alone and take his time photographing there and that Fairy Falls was within his reach if he takes a leisurely pace. It is too nice a place for blitzkrieg style photography.

Small world. I googled Russ and found his website. I looked at the about the photographer page and there is a picture of him. He has gray hair now. He would be the one next to the girl in my shot. From what I could gather that is exactly right. These people were paying him and they always were together taking the same shots. He did at one point talk to me about the kind of shooting I was doing. So the others really had no clue to what camera I even had so I guess they just didn't say anything. That would explain a lot. So I need to take back my first impression.

But the other guy with the D3 was still a snob!

Looking at the Bike Rider shot again, I wonder if you overrode what the camera's meter said? I'd think it would want to silhouette the guy but you captured him just fine. Flash fill, perhaps?

No, these are not really metered. I don't have the metered prism, so Iris metered at the start with her K7. After that, I did all the shots with the Sunny 16 Rule, and so I did this Bike Rider....

Shot this recently with 645N, FA 150mm F2.8 @ F4 on Kodak Portra 160NC

Hello,

I experimented with the same stand development technique but changing a little bit the developer.
I usually use Xtol/Rodinal dilution. This time I used Perceptol/Rodinal dilution 1 hour stand on Fomapan 100.
I have to say that I love the results so far:

Both shots taken with 645 almost under the rain...

Cheers,

Luc

Splendid. It really conveys a mood.

Thanks tuco . It is a wonderful combo . Took me 10 minutes to convince the model to do that pose b/c nobody asking to "dream" before :-) ! I shot her w/ K10D to prove it .
