Stopped by G.V. Rubio's workshop in LA last week and took some snaps of him and Armand Arnazzi. Such great people and great guitars. Stop by if you have a chance to chat and play, especially in the next couple of weeks as they are featuring healthy discounts on their guitars!

Really nice shots. Were these film scans?



ricecrackerphoto -> RE: German Vasquez Rubio photos (Dec. 12 2010 15:24:06)

Yep! Always try to shoot film whenever I can. Leica MP and Kodak Tri-X.



Graham_B -> RE: German Vasquez Rubio photos (Dec. 12 2010 19:39:01)

Many thanks for sharing these - you could be a professional[:D]

Seriously, though, is film becoming popular again with professionals or did it never really go away?



ricecrackerphoto -> RE: German Vasquez Rubio photos (Dec. 12 2010 23:27:39)

Film is becoming popular again; not with the professionals but the latest newest generation of shooters. Suddenly its very cool and hip to have old cheap cameras and to shoot film again.

Film to me is everything, but probably 95% of all my gigs are digital. There are some pro shooters that still insist on shooting only film but they few and getting less work because of it.

An ideal world eh? Digital for work and a classic for fun.

Nice pix man. Is it tricky to get the film you want? I've lost touch with what was going on but I know many of the available films disappeared.

Hang on to the Leica, you never know.[;)]

Me too, being cool and hip (but only recently) [;)].

Fantastic quality from film and yours are sublime. A little off-topic but still a stringed instrument, trying out an old Pentax ME Super yesterday with Neopan 400. Camera was £15 on eBay... no a Leica (yet):

Great shot, Simon! You've got such a great eye. I love Neopan but haven't shot it in years.

And Sean, yes some great films are gone. The great thing about a Leica is that it always goes up in value. I sold a lens (the Noctilux 50mm f1.0) for $2,700 five years ago. That same lens is worth $7,000 now. Yes, I am a moron.

My digital bodies are worth less each year and are instantly outdated with each new iteration. For me film is organic and has that element of chance and mystery. Digital is all about convenience and manipulation.

I am with you all the way - took me a while to realise I was not getting what I wanted with digital plus now I have the magic of developing at home again.

Thank you for your supportive words, they mean a lot to me.

Doug,

Your pictures are just awesome! May I ask you how you measured the exposure? Did you use spot or average, especially on the pictures of Arnazzi? I found it very hard to get a nice exposure with such a difficult lighting. Yours are perfect! I would imagine they look much more awesome on real photo paper (silver based not ink) and my computer screen just can't do justice on these pictures.



ricecrackerphoto -> RE: German Vasquez Rubio photos (Jan. 14 2011 12:49:50)

Thanks, Hon, (Are you from Baltimore?)

For lighting situations like Armand is in with a strong directional light source from the window falling off to deep shadows, I always meter off my hand. It's a simple trick but in any situation, you want to make skin the middle gray of an image. The meter will always get fooled by bright spots or dark colors and clothes.

I just shot some nuns in bright white habits and didn't use this trick and my images were a mess.

Doug
