My digital images are exposed based upon the image histogram, with the digital infrared also using the image colour in the post-view LCD screen. All film images were exposed based upon readings made with a Seconic meter, using a modified version of the zone system. Most of my images are created with the use of a tripods (either Gitzo G 1327, a Manfrotto 055 or a Velbon carbon fibre). All these tripods use Velbon magnesium heads, with quick releases on each camera. Tripods are invaluable, as they both help steady the camera, and ensure accurate compositions. I also sometimes use a Nodal Ninja for my image stitching. For my macro photography, I use a Manfrotto 3419 micro positioning plate to move the camera forward and back.All my digital editing (including this website) is done on a PC computer with three monitors, a custom built AMD 4400+ 2.2GHz dual core system with 2GB of RAM, 1.2tb of hard-drive space, and three monitors. For accessing my film images digitally, I use either a Microtek 8700 or a Nikon Coolscan 8000. Prior to 2005, I worked a variety of large , medium and small (35mm) format cameras with a variety of black and white , infrared and colour films. All film images were exposed based upon readings made with a Seconic light meter, using a modified version of the zone system. All my black and white work was processed and printed in my custom built darkroom . Though it isn't exactly technical, I also have a page discussing issues of Working with the Nude. |
