Felicity was Photographed with a wonderful Camera from the Past a “Hasselblad” decked out with high speed Etrachrome balanced for Tungsten.

The main light of only 800 watts was positioned at about 240 deg and the light from which past
directly over Felicity right shoulder and reflected back off a 5 x 3 feet piece of Polystyrene.

The fill light (also of 800 watts) was positioned at approximately 300 deg softened with a piece
of translucent tracing film and set well back.
The backdrop was lit solely by the spill light. The low EV reading meant that Felicity had to keep fairly still during exposure.

Felicity,…. peached up on a high stool got just a little too comfortable, producing almost woody like Portraits.

Her best features were,… her wonderfully healthy eyes, and her very healthy bust line which in
hindsight I should have made better use off.

Hello Joseph ... if it was the Hasselblad that was stolen .... someone did very well!
A very descriptive method shown here Lad, with much to learn. Such a pretty Model and yep ... the Eye's are alive! *salute*

And Hello Tedz,

Hasselbad oh! no. It was a low to medium priced Fuji. But it took quite good pictures with the right light, didn't like the colours of Tungsten.

Thanks for commenting

Hi Joseph. I have enjoyed your portraits. They have a 'classic' feel to them. have you done any mono work at all sir?

Hi there Tco, and thank you. Answer no Sir! Although I have a rather old one in which the colours were so bad that I was forced to convert it to a nonochrome. And now I have another, which I'm also trying to save as well which is also giving me a lot of trouble. I may have to go B&W with that also.


Cheers and thanks for your visit.

Joseph
