Happy Friday, everyone!
I had more film developed yesterday and am loving the results. Seriously, I could go on and on about how much fun I’m having shooting film! It’s all I’ve been using for my personal work over the past month.
I finally got a light meter, the Sekonic L-508 (discontinued, but available on keh.com), and it has already proven to be well worth the price. After reading the manual, I grabbed my light meter and tested it out using my D700, so I could see the results instantly. Once I was satisfied with how things were looking, I put it to work with my film camera and shot a roll of Kodak Portra 400, using Olivia Jane as my test model. Yes, Buddy and Penny are both great models (especially my Budman), but Olivia really knows how to work the camera, and has been doing so since she was a puppy. And I don’t need treats with her, just a dirty stick or a ball is all it takes to get her focused! She’s also adorable (obviously) and obedient–a photographer’s dream.
Here she is… Olivia Jane on film!
