Dag 33: Mono Lars - endnu et selvportræt

Tid til et selvportræt igen. Denne konvertering - fra en farve RAW-fil til en mono-version med punch - er gennemført 100% i Lightroom. Til at begynde med anvendte jeg en meget hård konvertering med stor kontrast, men følte ikke det klædte mig. Der er ikke brugt nogen forudindstillinger. Jeg har også været nødt til at gøre baggrunden lysere, da jeg ikke anvendt en flash for at oplyse denne, og selvom jeg står tæt på væggen, så bliver den alligevel grå tonet, når den kun oplyses af hovedlyset, der står foran motivet (mig).

Det originale foto er her - lige ud af kameraet.

Og her har du hjemmestudioopsætningen til at lave dette foto.

Opsætningen er med et Nikon D300 monteret med et Nikon AF 50mm f/1.4D objektiv. En PocketWizard MiniTT1 og PocketWizard AC3 er monteret i flash skoen øverst på kameraet, så det er muligt at kontrollere flashoutput fra Nikon Speedlight SB-900 med en PocketWizard FlexTT5, der sender flash lyset ind i en sølvparaply.

D300-indstillingerne er: ISO 200, M-tilstand, eksponering 1/125 sek f/5.6 som udgangspunkt. Jeg indså snart, at jeg måtte gå til f/7.1 for at få mere dybde-skarphed. På PocketWizard AC3 startede jeg med den laveste outputværdi og øgede herefter med et stop ad gangen, indtil jeg nåede en fordeling på histogrammet, der så ok ud uden nogen områder uden data. Jeg bruger en almindelig hvid væg som et baggrund. Nikon D300 udløses med en Nikon MC-36 fjernbetjening.

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
