355: Mamiya 645 AFD with Leaf Aptus II (A short review)
I had the whole weekend to test out the medium format camera with an incredible 52 megapixel digital back. Actually I am "against" a lot of megapixels, but I definitely admire bigger sensors. For those who wonder what the hell I am talking about: Most common consumer DSLR cameras do have a sensor of the size of approximately a stamp. Other DSLR cameras have a 35mm sensor, you might remember that size from your analog days ;-) And well a medium format camera is approx. 1,7 times bigger than a 35mm sensor.
In theory this means that the image quality is supposed to be better. Skin graduation, color, resolution, details etc. Other than that some say it does plain look better. I have no way to scientifical prove any of those claims, but after seeing the files I do have to admit it does look very good, and working with them is definitely different.
Allright, there is of course a catch: You have to work tethered. You can work with a compact flash card of course, but the files a rather big. Therefore the cards will fill up quite fast. Other than that, the displays (at least on the Leaf) are terrible. You can not verify sharpness or exposure at all on that display.
And the biggest catch is the price. I probably will never be able to afford a digital back, at least not in the near future. A decent digital back actually starts at approx. €7000.- That's where you wonder if the image quality difference compared to 35mm is really worth it. Especially if you mainly publish for web.
Bottom line: I love the results and if money wasn't the issue, I would go and buy one.

354: JANA...SHOT WITH MAMIYA
As posted last week, I rented a digital back for my Mamiya 645 AFD for the last weekend. A Leaf Aptus II 10 to be exact.
One of the three shootings of this last weekend was with Jana. Make up was done by Moni R.
More pictures coming in the next few days as well as my thoughts on working with a medium format camera.

Please excuse the missing shot yesterday. It was Monday I guess...
Helped out the make up artist Janine Bossmann with some shots for her portfolio. She brought two models and she was looking for a colorfull kinda look. The next two shots will be from this shooting as well.

243: JULIA 2
Before we did the shot from yesterday with Julia, I wanted to shoot a quite clear and simple make up.

242: JULIA
I showed you a Behind-the-Scenes picture of this beautyshot a couple of days ago. I saw this make up somewhere else, so we can't really get credit for the idea. I wanted to do a beauty shot with Julia and decided just to copy that idea. I think Moni (the make up artist) did quite a good job and Julia was fun to work with.

225: SOMETHING FISHY (Rework)
A shot from 2007. That was one of my earlier shootings. Models, Location and crew were great, but I guess I must have seemed kinda green. Nevertheless some great shoots were made and I'm gonna do some rework on them soon.

214: LEA No. TWO
You might remember Lea from this shot. You have to love her smile. You rather rare see a smile in a Beauty shot, or some might say smiles in a portrait looked fake or acted. And that can be true, but I'm kinda pursuing a good feeling and a good vibe in pictures right now, I guess that is why I enjoyed working with people who aren't used to be shot and trying to get the most out of them (sometimes whilst doing stupid stuff.)
