[An Exception]

Thanks, I just like B&W's to have a little grain.

 

[An Exception]

Nah, it's my own action, however just put VSCO into google, and I think it looks pretty interesting.

 

[An Exception]

I wouldn't know, film was before my time!

 

[An Exception]

Cheers bud

 

[An Exception]

Have we leapt into the future?

No, but I'v never owned a film camera!

 

[An Exception]

James you crack me up bud, but thanks for the critique anyway.

 

[An Exception]

Cheers guy's.

very nice set

what was your lighting set up for the dance floor shots?

Just 'on-camera' bounced flash, although I would say it was on the limit of power as I had to wait for it to recycle a few times (ceiling was high and dark wood)
Used an ISO around 2000 and a slower shutter speed when shooting at 2.8 with my 14-24. Used ISO 1000 and a faster shutter when shooting at 1.4 with my 35.

Nice pussy!

Some really good shots in there, you should be proud. Also like the slightly desaturated/bleached feel you've gone for. Not too much like a lot of these vintage photographers but nice and subtle.

Thanks, yeh I was very happy. It was raining most of the day, the couple were really nice so I really didn't want to let them down.
Regarding processing, I didn't want to stray too far from neutral, as I don't want them to look naff in a few years.

 

[An Exception]

Only part time at the moment, but with the intention of going full time as soon as possible.

 

[An Exception]

Thanks very much Russinating. Actually I just registered for tax, can I include my recent camera/lens purchases as expenses?

 

[An Exception]

Damn, I thought that might be the case.
Is it possible to depreciate the capital asset to reduce profit?

 

[An Exception]

Thanks anyway RL, I'll have a look for a bookkeeping/accountancy forum.

 

[An Exception]

Cheers RL, are you able to email me his details, as would rather use someone who knows what they are doing.

 

[An Exception]

Good point, tbh I'm a bit out of my depth with all this tax stuff.

 

[An Exception]

What ISO are you ramping it up on for indoor shots on your D700! whats your limit?

My ISO ceiling is 12800. However I rarely go above ISO 2000 if using flash.
If using flash I set my ambient exposure manually, and let the TTL do it's thing with flash exposure.
I don't mind grain and I went with a processing style where grain doesn't spoil the image. 12800 works for me as it still retains good detail. The image disproportionately falls apart at ISO25000 though, so 12800 is my absolute limit.

 

[An Exception]

ISO 11400 but was boosted 2/3 of a stop in post (I always under expose slightly), my action lifts shadows a bit as well.

To me it look pretty good in B&W, but I also don't mind high ISO's in colour either.

 

[An Exception]

That doesn't look too bad in B&W but really dont think it looks great in colour, it just seems like ISO left up high.

But the girl in blue has lovely legs and figure

Much rather that than flash.
