- Had a day trip out to eastern Washington planned but woke up a bit sick. So, I decided to do a little portrait session with Alicia. Used a new constant light I just purchased as well as the Pentax AF400t. Shot these on the Pentax 67ii with Portra 800 and Kentmere 400. Enjoy!

I love that the flash becomes the grip
Haha right
Always love when you step into portrait territory, they end up being some of my fave shots of yours as a whole!
Thanks dude! 🙏🏻
Congratulations to Alicia for decorating your new place so well, and I guess so fast! The place looks awesome, you guys! Your office/video backdrop looks really solid, too. Quite a change from the old set. I’m really liking these after the commercial break closing segments, too. They’ve all been very relatable to me. Photography of places and people that very much mean something to me, purely so I’ll have the photos to spark memories, has always been the most fun for me by far. ✌️
Thanks, Bob! Alicia has the eye for that interior design stuff haha!
And yep, that’s the purest part of photography! Can always pick up the camera just for the fun of it 🤠
You gotta frame some of those man, superb 🔥🔥
Thank you 🙏🏻
really enjoyed this one! nice example of a fun thing to do that doesn't require traveling
Thanks! :)
It seems to me you handle that Pentax very very well. Well done.
Thank you!
Cat is a paid actor
she really is lol
Beautiful portraits, especially the colour!
Thanks! Pumped on how those turned out
I wasn't watching anymore but had the audio up for the last line. 🤣 now I'm cleaning the coffee off my desk.
Hahaha oh no 😂
Good on you for recognizing that inner voice of doubt and remembering to create just for the sake of creating. Portraiture is something I have never done and you have inspired me to figure out a way to make that happen. Peace.
Definitely worth trying! Gets your mind thinking differently. And it’s always fun capturing someone at a specific stage in their life.
Dayum Bro you dont miss. You're making me want to pick up a Pentax AF400t. Gotta Love It.👍👍
Thank you!
Any old big Metz flash will do the same job better, as you can rotate the head and ceiling bounce the light. try it!
@@bartlevenson7851 you can do that with the Pentax flash as well
Afckingmen! We tend to forget that it’s all fun and games
Indeed we do!
Idea: why not take a class on studio lighting from your local community college so you have some idea of what you are doing with your fancy equipment? And, oh, yes why not get a portrait lens? That could be the 135 macro, the 150 f 2.8, or one of the 165mm lenses or the 200 f 4.0. All work great, I know from personal experience.
Love the video, but I especially love your talk at the end. I've started doing this on my channel. In fact, the video is titled shooting random things is ok. Lol. Great work again, Brae.
Thanks Wil! Happy shooting!
Very beautiful photos of Alicia. Congratulations to the Apartment and don't forget take a Guinness to celebrate and split the G 😊
Thank you and absolutely!
Great shots Brae!
Thank you!
Have fun shooting....best advice. PS: The cat with Alicia picture....perfect.
Yeah murph came to model that evening haha!
I liked the B&W images best, although the colour were excellent too. 👏👏👏👏
Thanks, John!
The first one with the cat is so freaking cute!
Haha murph kinda stole the show with this one!
I agree about the how and why we make photos. Too many times we are worried about the greater context instead of the image in front of us. I’ve discovered after all this time, I’ve been shooting since 1970, just make the images and more times than not a project, or zine or a story tells itself or is just sitting there in your files or portfolio ready to be be assembled from what you have already. Have fun make images and then projects and greater meaning or context takes care of itself
Great point, Sophie! One of these days I’m sure I’ll get around to sorting through all the negatives and finding a project within them.
Direct flash sucks all the time, unless used as a fill flash. Use the monster flash in a room or ballroom to light the ceiling and or wall. this will avoid making your subjects looking like fried eggs, and going blind! I know this, as I have been shooting cameras since the mid 60s, and you know what? that's a long time!
"Those aren't free." 🤣
lololol
Nice, Bray! Your cat is a star lmao
She really is haha
I actually really like the B&W. Nice contrast and the lighting really pops.
You could have pushed the B&W to allow for higher shutter speed. Of course a leaf shutter would have helped with sharpness hand held.
Yeah was thinking about pushing it but decided I didn’t want to. Might try that next time.
That’s one of the reasons I loved the Bronica gs-1, that lead shutter glass is very nice!
Yep, you do indeed still got it ;)
Haha thank you :)
Nice shots mate. What f stop/shutter combo were you using for the Portra 800 no flash shots?
Thanks sir! Mostly f/4 @ 1/60th or 1/90th.
Encouragement to pull the AF400 out of the box and make photos with no other purpose than just to do it.
Absolutely!!
Hey, what was the continuous light you were using? Thanks! and great photos!
Amaran 60x s
What constant light did you use? Great shots!
Amaran 60x s
Color shots look great! Keep working that camera/lens/flash combo and your arms are gonna be jacked
Haha for real!
For those shaky shutter speeds even a use of a cheap stupid monopod would help, it doesn't have to be a full tripod every time, not necessarily for 1/60th of a sec. Just saying...
Very true!
how do you scan your film?
Speedy ePhoto is the lab I go to or I'll scan at home with a Sony a7iv and 90mm macro lens
looks great 👍 I’m new to the 6x7
murph😂
