These are a variety of shots taken over the years with studio lighting. They were all taken using the Mamiya 645 Pro TL. Various lenses and a combination of extension tubes were used. The film used was Ilford HP5 (yes, my favorite) @ 200. Developed in D-76 1:1 printed on Oriental Seagull VCFB. Most of these were Selenium toned only. Two, one of the antique camera photos as well as the bi-colored rose were split toned in both Sepia and Selenium.
This series was taken on a foggy morning in North Carolina. Daisy Ridge is located near Banner Elk in the Blue Ridge Mountains. It was the end of fall and the temperatures were starting to fall. The colors were still beautiful, but not at their peak any more. The camera used was the Mamiya 645 Pro, 150mm lens, Ilford HP5 @ 200 developed in D-76 1:1 and printed on Oriental Seagull VCFB in Ethol LPD 1:1. They were then split toned in both Sepia/Selenium toners.
These were taken using a little toy plastic camera the Holga. This camera has virtually no settings other than bright sun or cloudy and distances ranging from 3 feet to infinity. This camera is known and renowned for its light leaking which causes blurry or dreamy images with vignetting around the edges. I used Ilford HP5 film which was developed in Xtol at 1:1.
