Re: First 6x7 lessons learned

Thank you. I think a heavy camera and lens are actually an advantage when panning. The momentum of the mass contributes to the smoothness of the swing. Paul William Robb wrote: > > - Original Message - > From: Paul > Subject: Re: First 6x7 lessons learned > > > Pe

Re: First 6x7 lessons learned

Yes, I was panning. I was shooting this car for an enthusiast magazine, so I didn't mind burning some film. The profile pan is one of the standard shots that I do on almost every car shoot. In this case, the car was moving at about 30 mph. I had the driver go back and forth following the same path

This looks like a textbook "pan". Were you panning? Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: First 6x7 lessons learned

If you shoot Porta NC at 320, is it much more expensive to process? Also, can anyone suggest a good "through the mail" processing lab for 120? Steven Desjardins Department of Chemistry Washington and Lee University Lexington, VA 24450 (540) 458-8873 FAX: (540) 458-8878 [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: First 6x7 lessons learned

Dave, Good lesson to learn. I learned my safely in my lap. The trick to Portra NC is that it is supposed to be somewhat subdued to hold the contrast across black and white. Some people prefer it a bit more contrasty so will overexpose it as you have. Most people I have heard shoot it at 320 fo
