TECHNICAL NOTES

 

Photographs on this site are both digital and traditional silver-based. Unless otherwise noted, photos are silver-based.

Silver-based photographs

Prior to the summer of 2000, I took silver-based photos with a Nikon N-70 using a Nikon AF Nikkor 28-105mm zoom lens. Since then, I have been using a Nikon N-80 with the same lens.

Generally, I use Kodak Portra 400VC film. Older photos were taken on Kodacolor 400 and, in occasional lapses, I have used other films.

I do not crop my silver based photos, and I do not use other interventions. What you see is what I took.

Digital photographs
 

I took the digital photos currently on this site with an 8-megapixel Konica Minolta Dimage A2. This camera has a Konica Minolta GT 7.2-50.8mm lens (equivalent to a 28-200mm 35mm lens).

Image size is 3264x2448 pixels, and "Quality" is set to "Standard". "Color mode" is set to "Adobe RGB" and "Sharpness" is set to "Hard".

I use Adobe Photoshop Elements 2.0 to adjust contrast, crop images, and straighten images, as necessary.
