I said, Leona came over during a very
rare, sunny day. I invite her to
pose on the back stairs, using the
soft (indirect) Northern window light
there.
I
did almost everything right. I
carefully metered the light, I tested
the metering with some exposures with
the digital camera, and moved on to
expose some film. If only I had
transferred the exposure reading to my
film camera! Hey, I'm human, and
I was distracted! These images
are woefully unexposed. I
printed a few, just to see -- the
prints are awful, but the magic of
scanning produced these images, which
are acceptable for a web site (but
would be totally unacceptable for
creating a quality image for hanging
on the wall). |

And
here is one of the test images made with
the digital camera.
There
is a painting-like feel to this color image, isn't
there?

| It
was great to reconnect with Leona --
we had been too busy to keep in
touch. And as always, it was a
joy to work with her. She makes
me want to be a better photographer,
and after all, what better thing can
you say about a model? |
(Remember -- feedback is always
appreciated)
