Dustin and I journeyed to WindMark beach to shoot the Coston family. The day was crisp and chilly with a nice warm tone. It was quiet a delicious day to be shooting outside! We also decided to mix things up by adding medium format to the photo adventure. The Mamiya didn't have an internal exposure meter but luckily, I had a handheld one in my man purse! I remember metering at ISO 100 even though the film was ISO 160 so let's hope the processed film and CD scans come in looking perty. Film has about 1-3 stops of tonal flexability so it shouldn't be too much of an issue. If it turns out to be a successful roll, we'll probably start adding in 120 film as an option. The advantages of medium format over digital are pretty noticeable. It's hard to reproduce the nostalgic look and 3D appearance of 120 film with digital files. Even with megapixels, when 120 film is scanned with a professional drum scanner, it can produce images over 100 megapixels! Dynamic range, sharpness, depth of field and image quality of medium format still trump digital. It may a different story when compared to the new Mamiya Leifs or Hasseblad HD's, but who can afford $14,000 - $30,000 cameras!?
