• Description: One thing I always enjoyed about shooting transparency film is being able to capture great colors using the properties of different types of film and the way they react to different colors of light. I have always been a fan of shooting portraits at night using natural light found outside or creating similar effects using gels and studio lighting. You could say I have been a fan of pushing color to the extreme. I had been shooting a Mamiya RZ67 film camera for about 12 years and had finally made the leap to digital photography. I set out to test my new gear to see if I could achieved the same looks as I was getting using transparency film in the past. I used both the digital camera and the film camera to try out combinations of exposures, gels, studio lighting, and outdoor natural light at night so I could compare the results to each other. Took me awhile to hit my groove with the digital camera so I played around with making an overexposed picture instead of what would be considered a properly metered pictured and the moment I took this picture I got that wow feeling and knew the photo magic had started. Testing and not being afraid to experiment is always important so you can understand how your equipment can be used and what you can do with it. Only a minor contrast correction was made to this image
• Gear: Nikon D60, Calumet Elite 1200 lighting kit, Rosco gels
