Caitlin, a portrait

in ,

I’ve had my Mamiya RB67 for almost 6 months now (the 3rd one I’ve owned) and I have been slowly finding a place for it in my workflow…sadly at the expense of my Hassy. I am loving it for portraits, something I am really growning fond of.

The room Wen and I use for our office has a window that gets really great light that is made even better when you cover it with a white sheer piece of fabric. The light gets even and softer and makes for great images.

Oh North Carolina with your bipolar weather. This was a particularly warm day for mid March. While grateful we know how Mother Nature can be and surprise us with one more freeze before sweating us out for the next few months.

I just got a 65mm lens for my RB67 and this was the first time testing it out. I’m liking this wide focal length for the 67. I had a 50mm the last time I had a RB but it was just too wide for me. I’m digging this so far.

Stormy portrait

in ,

On the day I shot this portrait of Stormy it was cold, wet and the light coming in the window wasn’t the greatest. I also forgot to switch my light meter from incandescent to spot so how I got this…call it luck. I’m liking having a 6x7 camera again (a RB67 for the 3rd time). I can make a style of portraits I want that I can’t do with my Hassy.
