A short post this morning as I have a dental appointment in a little while and my mouth does not feel very good. I had a late meeting and after the meeting I either chipped a tooth and exposed a nerve or I lost the only filling I have.
Jeanne found some of my camera collection. I think there is more than what she found but this will get me started on my project. This is just the first effort to see what I needed to do. I shot this with a Nikon D3 | Nikon 105 mm 1:1 Macro f2.8 lens | one Nikon SB800 strobe flash.
I used two white foam boards with a black one for the base. Processed the RAW file in Lightroom 4 and finished it off using Nik’s Silver Effects Pro 2.0. Next I will play with the lighting and perhaps use a studio strobe. I think there is a lot of things I can do to get the look I have already in my mind.
The camera is a Brownie Flash Six – 20 camera. It was introduced in 1946 and had a production run until 1955. It used 620 roll film and retailed for a whopping $6.00.
Considering how little time I spent on this image I’m not unhappy with this first result. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy your Tuesday. Be careful.



I’m excited to see part of your camera collection. This leaves a lot room for interesting experiments with the light.
