Bosky was up and out and about early this morning. That photo was taken just before 6:00 am!

15mm fisheye - 180° corner to corner coverage on full frame.

I had to take my coat off to prevent it sneaking into the bottom of the picture

I really like this shot. Not only a good portrait but in a context too. I have some good portraits but no context. How did you do this? Do you know the guy? Also what about the lighting? Was that how it was in the shop?

Thank you. I've since cloned out the flowers behind his head...

It was shot as part of anenvironmental portraiture unit I am doing at college. My and a mate just went out into town and walked into random shops (quiet quirky ones) and asked if they would mind if we took some shots, usually they would say yes. It was very nerve racking but good experience.

For this shot I had a Canon (grrr, I shoot using Nikon, but we pooled our gear) speedlight on a stand with a brolly quite high on the right, to light the guy, I also had a Metz hammerhead on a seat behind him to illuminate the background piano and highlight the environment.

Should add, I wish i took more time on the background, had to clone out the flowers behind his head on a later copy as I decided they pissed me off, also his light is in the way. Grr!

We set up the lights first, took plenty test shots to make sure we had the correct exposure etc then got the guy through so we didn't have to mess about when he was available.

One ugly camera - Ricoh half frame fixed focus car boot find!

 

[Hocus Eye.]

It may be ugly but just think of the 72 pictures you can get off one film. Did you get the rectangular lens cap that would have covered the light meter, lens and viewfinder?

If it hasn't been damaged the lens should be quite good being a Ricoh.

Cheers for the info.

I've always wanted to do that but dont have the nerve I guess. Plus I havent used flashes never mind with umbrellas

I have a film in it already, 24 exposure so 48 exposures on this beast. When the clockwork kicks in it is very noisy so candid photography is not an option

There was no rectangular lens cap, the lens looks OK. It is a four element fixed focus so should be interesting to see the results. I have had a look on the web and it appears to have rectangular shaped filters - weird
