Digital
Darkroom.
A few years ago I sold my traditional darkroom in favor of a digital darkroom. My digital darkroom consists a
Dell 8400 Computer with dual LCD monitors , Epson Stylus Photo
printers, an Epson Scanner with
transparency
adaptor. My image editing
software of choice is Adobe PhotoShop. I use ArcSoft Panorama Maker for panoramics.
I highly recommend using dual monitors. Since using
two monitors for photo editing I would find it hard to go
back to just
one monitor.
Almost
all of my work the last few years has been digital. However, I great
number of the photographs on this site
were made using large and medium
format film cameras. The following list represents the film based
photographic equipment I used, however most have been sold.
FILM Equipment:
Toyo 45A 4x5 camera
Great metal field camera. Compact and fits great in a
backpack.
Lenses: 90mm/f4.5 Nikkor, 150mm Caltar II, 210mm Nikkor
(the Nikkor 90mm f4.5 is a great,
bright wide angle lens. It is FOR SALE as is the Nikkor 210mm -

Pentax
6x7
Designed like a 35mm but takes large 6x7 negs/transparencies.
Excellent optics.
Lenses: 55mm, 90mm, 135mm macro, 200mm
Fuji
GA645 (Autofocus) FOR SALE (email me)
Great for getting the benefits of larger film size but with
portability of a point and shoot 35mm camera.
Excellent quality.
Lens: 60mm
Nikon F3HP FOR SALE (email me)
35mm film camera
Some
of the photos in this web portfolio were taken with a previously owned Bronica ETR.
FILM:
Fuji Velvia almost exclusively. Even though this film is slow (ISO
50 or 100),
it has superior resolution and
saturation ideal for scenic photography.
LIGHTING:
My studio lighting
consists of a Novatron 1000D (1000ws) lighting kit with mutiple
flashheads. My "on-camera"
flash is a Canon 430EX.
FILTERS:
81A warming filter for film cameras.
In deep shade and on overcast days this filter eliminates the bluish
cast and makes the transparency more
pleasing.
Polarizer.
Standard filter for reducing reflections and increasing color
saturation.
Graduated
Neutral Density.
Great for controlling the contrast between the land and the sky,
particularly on overcast days when you
want to catch the mood of the sky
while properly exposing the foreground.
Enhancing
Filter.
Used with film this filter emphasizes the reds in a scene without altering the other
colors.
PACKS
AND BAGS:
Two Tamrac photo backpacks.
TRIPOD:
Most photos taken with a Bogen 3221 tripod with a
Bogen pan head. Recent photos taken with
Amnova carbon fiber tripod legs and an Amnova Ball Head.
