I recently processed the film I took last year when I visited the luthier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The intention of that visit was linked to a course project about \u2018how we are\u2019 and I was photographing people who have \u2018different\u2019 occupations or interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was limited to ambient light, so shutter speeds were on the long side, resulting in motion blur. I think the results showing the luthier working with a file are quite interesting. The hands are blurred by movement, but the sawdust is sharp as are some of the teeth on the file.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/61storbit.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/02\/img_8875.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-837\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I have shot some test images for another project. These are test landscape shots using a 50mm wide-angles lens and a 180mm short telephoto lens. The intention here was to keep overall exposure static but test various focal ratios.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/61storbit.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/02\/pp1-19.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-840\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The most recent film was another test, this time test portrait shots using the 180mm lens. The \u2018crop\u2019 factor compared with 35mm full-frame is 0.5 so a 180mm lens on the Mamiya has the field of view equivalent of a 90mm lens, which is good for portraiture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/61storbit.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/02\/nt1-0019.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-841\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For both of these, the final processing was digital. The first film was scanned using a flat-bed scanner, the second was photographed using a Lumitrans. The light was not ideal for the portraits as I was shooting into it more-or-less, which has definitely affected the images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I did take some digital images as well, mostly to test some off-camera lighting options.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/61storbit.files.wordpress.com\/2022\/02\/portrait-62717.jpg?w=640\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-843\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The next run with the RB67 should be the main shoot for the project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don\u2019t yet have all of the needed facilities at home to process films, so I\u2019m having to do that using the darkroom at university.
