FINALS WEEK IS DONE!

so.. ya.. after intense semester of 6 classes, (4 studios) it's finally over!
as promised here are some 4x5 B&W and ColorChrome (FujiChrome 100) pics i shot.


this was shot in Cedar City Utah, sometime in February.  originally shot in color, but i think i liked the B&W one better.  Shot at f/45 @ 1/5 8:45am. Direct Sun, Bellows at 11"

The Chicken Feet was shot at f/22 @ 1/8th with a 90mm.. i was in the shade and created a box enclosure with a black backdrop, also, i burnt a piece of wood to give it a more used look.   i have to give thanks to the chicken that let me use its legs! 


i'm not sure why i didn't stop it down to f/64 since the 90mm i had went to it?  next time i guess. 





this is my friend Leah, she was a good sport and had these cool leather jackets that i just envisioned with a pure white background. shot these in direct sunlight  these were also shot at f/22 with the 210mm lens.




another ColorChrome. this was shot in Nipton California at the Mojave National Preserve. i'd like to thank my buddy Van for showing me the location. its about an hour or so south of las vegas and it is amazing!  it might not look it, but it was fairly dark outside when i tool this picture. unfortunately i didn't record the time shot, but i know the sun had gone down already.  shot at f/16 @ 2 seconds with the 210 lens.



also Shot in Nipton, is this old Joshua tree. it sits in the middle of the Largest Joshua Tree concentration in the world (thanks Van)  i don't know why i was so drawn to it. but i'm definitely going to give it a another crack at it when i get my 8x10 camera.  shot at f/45 @ 1 Second, overcast, 4:53PM. in this photo, i tried to make sure the ground leading up to the tree was in focus, which led to a lot of tilting the lens and ground class plates until it looked acceptable. 




This one is probably my favorite of all the Color Shots i did. i was freezing my behind up at the peak of BrianHead Utah. BrianHead is a Ski resort that is just North of Cedar City Utah.  i shot this at either f/22 @ 10 seconds according to my notes.  the sun wasn't up yet. i'm guessing it was around 5:30am. i didn't write it down on my notes.  i was more concerned with it being -8*F on the mountain. 




just south of cedar there is a national park called Kolob Canyon. this was taken right before the sun went down, at F/22 @ 1 Seconds. 


I'll try to post more soon. i'm still scanning them and it takes for ever! 

let me know what you think! thanks!
