Recent Professional Works

[ACH DIGITAL]

Using the new set up: Nikon D800 + Horseman VCC Pro + 120 Rodenstock APO Rodagon. 9 shots in Helicon Focus. Usually the client would retouch further and add background.

Thanks Kirk and Rudy!  Jim, after doing this for 20 years I don't mind saying that I feel damn near competent  

Antonio, those chairs were back-lit with soft boxes from the floor.  (2) I believe.  I let it trail off towards the foreground as I prefer to keep the edges of images a little darker... how do you like that D800?  I'm tempted.

Hi Antonio,

Great shot.

It will be a cold day in hell before I would give up my Horseman VVC adapter and Rodenstock enlarging lenses.

My D800E and these Rodenstock lenses are just superb.

Keep up the good work.

Cheers

Simon

Chris thank for the update. Your architectural work is amaizing.

The D800 is a magnificent camera. It feels more that a typical 35 would do, is bulkier and I like that. The detail is incredible even though I don't own the E version. With a fine processing and sharpening you get very good results.

Things about it: you need the best lenses you can get, F/8 best.

What would I change? The live View and the program functions.
 
Actually Simon Harper help me to the Horseman and the Rodenstock lenses. This is small, light and great combo.
 
Thanks Simon.

Another D800e image....





Other than the AF problems I've had, love the camera as well

Nice little toy... it looks familiar, but I can't place it.  Dutch perhaps?  Great image too.

Thanks! It's British, a Caterham Super 7 (continuation of the original Lotus 7). But you were on track, there is a Dutch company called Donkervoort that makes something very similar

They've become quite common in Switzerland. Nice shot, the sense of speed is perfect!

It seems the driver is wearing welding gear??

It's a flat black race helmet. I was doing my no budget "Black Stig" Top Gear impression

You need to take a black marker pen to those red stripes, then

Ashley, Those are perfect.  The light is absolutely beautiful.  But there must have been a disturbance in the force, the lights are on!!  Jim

H4D-40, 210mm, 2 sec or so, f25

Interesting skin texture and tones. 2 seconds is crazy, unless she was dead

[SecondFocus]

Totally OUTSTANDING!

Here's a couple more of a 1937 Peugoet I shot last summer.  It's just recently slowed down enough for me to work on a few things that are more passion than profit.  Even though the car looks a bit out of place in the overhead I think it still works with the rest of the series (shown in the first Recent Works thread).  Jim

Excellent, Graham!

Ian, Those were posted 4 years ago!  Glad you like them though.  How have you been?  Say hi to Clyde for me.  Jim

[HarperPhotos]

Hello,

Latest shot.

Cheers

Simon, That works well!  My guess is that you shot it static and added the blur in post.  Not sure about how the wheel spins were accomplished, I think in PS but perhaps jacked up and spun.  Jim
