This thread is a favorite of mine .
Rick , I do like that second shot.

 

[MaZo]

have a Question for the Barnack gurus....

on the IIf there is a dial under the shutter speed knob
with numbers ranging from 0 to 20

what is that for ?????

Thanks !

I can only recall that when using electronic flash you set "20" and 1/50.

 

[Mr_Flibble]

The ring under the dial sets the flash-delay.

Thanks Michael, the Xenon is really starting to grow on me 😉

Nice, Rick! About time somebody started doing model shoots with vintage gear and dress again here! 😀

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Don't get your hopes up too much Johan. I don't know if this is a continuing trend yet.

Looking for a volunteer or two for a shoot at Fort St-Andries soon, while there is still some daylight left in the years 😉

Muriel Wright.....right? Anne, the model, has got nothing to worry about as far as I can tell.


Next time I'll try something with a little less IR sensitivity I think. 😉

Pretty awesome, Rick! With the first shot of the 1900s dress I wasn't convinced but this one won me over: painterly rendering thanks to old glass and film!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[HuubL]

...agree Rick, wonderful shots. I love the mystique smile of your model in your last post. Kind of Mona Lisa... 🙂

 

[Mr_Flibble]

Thanks guys,

I would've liked a little more sharpness in the first photo. But for that I shouldn't have been using the Xenon and shoot into the light with it anyway. 😉

The complete series can be found here (just skip past the R-D1 photos 😛)

Rick,

That Xenon certainly suits your style - I geuss you just have to remember the lens hood!

 

[johannielscom]

Really love how a Summar renders on film. Impressive for a lens design that old.

Love that last shot, Markus!
