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

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 Pentax 6x7 f22 @ 1/30th. Hand

Hi Peter, It was Ektachrome 100VS. As far as the background is concerned, I guess I ought to take a few minutes and fill in the tree line in PhotoShop. Fill would be nice. Perhaps next time. Paul [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Subject: Re: First 6x7 lessons learned Pentax 6x7 f22 @ 1/30th

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]

Hi All. Lesson 1: Look at Ebay prior to ordering straps from local store. Lesson 2: Make Damn sure the release lugs on the camera bottom are in the proper locked position and spools snug.(don't ask why i know now.lol) Chromes look nicer

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

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]

LOL. Understood Steven. Dave OK. I think I misunderstood. I thought you were pushing 160, but you're overexposing 400. When I saw 320 my head immediately thought 2x160. All the little darlin's are graduating today and tomorrow, and I must remember

Was that shot with the leaf shutter or the curtain shutter? If the leaf shutter, it was cheating ;-) -Mat Paul Stenquist wrote: Pentax 6x7 f22 @ 1/30th. Hand held of course. http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=1069827 Paul William Robb wrote: Subject: First 6x7 lessons learned Anyone
