Atheist Poncho » 645 http://atheistponcho.com Photos and words by Ryan Marr Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:42:24 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 Washington School http://atheistponcho.com/2009/11/03/washington-school/ http://atheistponcho.com/2009/11/03/washington-school/#comments Wed, 04 Nov 2009 02:48:13 +0000 ryan http://atheistponcho.com/?p=673 So I purchased a Mamiya 7 with a 65mm f4 from a woman in Boston. Actually a gentleman named Derek Vincent purchased the camera on my behalf and shipped it to me. He was extremely helpful and I owe him greatly. Anyhow I just put my first roll through it and am very happy. It was mostly boring photos and as such I will share them here. The rest of the shots are 645 from my bronica. The back broke while I was on a camping trip so I never even finished the roll so I just got it processed now.

Here are the 645 shots.

I haven’t shot much and summer has been a little boring, but there have also been a lot of good times in the last two months.

I’m at home in Toronto packing (or reminding myself that I should be packing at least) for my holiday to palm springs that I leave for friday morning at 5 am. Katherine is already down there I’m meeting up with her and her family there. I’m flying into LA then we’re going to drive to the grand canyon/vegas. I bought a bunch of film and a wind angel lens for my 645 system and am hoping to get some shots of the foreclosed houses down there. I guess there are guys painting the burnt grass green. I’m assuming that was more in the summer but it should be nice now with christmas in the desert. Anyhow should be a nice little trip either way. I guess it snowed in Vegas last week so I’m going to bring a coat.

I picked up some film a couple days ago at my Lab of choice “Toronto Image Works”. While I was purchasing some film Edward Burtynsky walked in. He is the owner of the lab so it doesn’t seem that odd that he would be there but in the 5 years I’ve been going there (sometimes for 4+ hours in a night to use the darkrooms) I had yet to encounter him. I felt a little star struck (which makes sense he’s easily my favorite photographer) but I stopped him and struck up a conversation, he was extremely gracious and didn’t try to cut the conversation short and sneak out or seem rushed in teh slightest. I obviously volunteered my services if he ever needed an assistant, which he just as graciously encouraged.

So that’s pretty much it, there are some terrible photos through the link at the start of this post but they’re certainly nothing to be proud of. I’ll be back in a week and a half.

The half frame is an interesting beast. The lack of focusing system is interesting. Most of the first half of the roll is out of focus. But I figured out about half way through that I was looking at the wrong distance marker. I think I’ll get better at guessing distances. There are a few shots that are pretty sharp. All and all I am very happy with the performance.

I should also mention that the integration between photoshop cs4 and lightroom is fantastic. It’s stitching ability is mind blowing. Very impressive. I bought Annie Leibovitz’s new book “at work” and was shocked to hear that most of her portraiture is stitched. She was saying that after she’s done a shoot her assistants will shoot all around the portrait area to make sure they have good overlap.

The first couple shots here are shitty flatbed scans of some 645 from september. as usual click on the image for the gallery.
