Photography, like computers, is a discipline of technologies and equipment. Over time this section of the gallery will contain articles about the techniques of photography. My orientation and origins are with computers. Consequently, what you will find here will focus on the digital aspects of photography.
For the moment, however, here is a short and—with apologies—inadequate description of the components and workflow I currently use to create the images you see in the gallery.
Film
I used a variety of film types of different brands to record these images:
Kodak Gold rated at ISO 100, 200 or 400 and Fuji Provia or Realia at various
ISO ratings.
All film was commercially developed; no push processing was required.
Cameras
I captured these images using a Nikon F70 35mm SLR, fitted with either a
AF 24-120mm, f3.5 zoom or an AF micro 105mm, f2.8 lens.
All images were taken under available light.
Scanning and Post Processing
I converted the 35mm negatives and transparencies to digital format with a Nikon LS-2000 film scanner. The LS-2000 will produce binary image files of approximately 50MB (or a maximum resolution of 2700 dots per inch.) I adjusted and finished each image using Adobe Photoshop, Version 6.
These images are available in print form on heavyweight, matte stock in either 8.5" by 11" or 13" by 19" sizes.
