The Photographer(s)

For those of you wondering what a photographer looks like, here's a bunch of them. In a photo. Taken by a photographer.

The guy in the red, using the real camera, is Andric, who I was working for the last couple of weeks. We are at Fox Glacier in the above shot. So are the people in the background. Those people are using fake cameras, so we deliberately put them out of focus so as to not embarrass or upset our piece of film.

Below, however, we have shifted locations to the Lindis Pass. It was warmer there. And you see the photographer exposing the film (Fujifilm Astia 4x5 Quickload), as opposed to framing the image as seen above.

And this is what happens when one photographer moves in relation to the other photographer and takes another photo of generally the same thing as before, but only different.

Now, if I was a real geek I would have talked about it being a Linhof Tech F.... but I'm not a real geek so I wont say what model it is, or comment on the nice .... head on the ..... tripod.

microphen said...

well touche.

if you did do that, however, i would have to respond in kind. along the lines of ...

i've got no idea about the camera model, but i liked it. and it was a very nice head - a manfrotto 405 to be precise.

but it was all the lenses which excited me. 72, 90, 110, 150, 180, 210, and 240. not that we used them all mind you. and i so want a 110 now.

nice selection of lenses. the 110 is meant to be great.

sounds like he had every option covered ....

and on second thoughts, where was the 270 and 300?

microphen said...

yeah i know. crazy man thought that longer lenses "compressed" the view too much. or something like that.

compressed can be good in the right situation .......
