| Emily - Nikon FM - Rollei Infrared - scanned RGB and then adding red and yellow |
A previous blog about Emily from Whiskey Creek is here.
For this blog I want to delve on a subjective opinion of
mine that while digital cameras are supremely versatile there is something they
are unable to do. While you can shoot with one in colour, in black and white or
simply modify an image from colour to monochrome you will still be working on
one picture.
My technique involves the use of multiple cameras. In the
case of Emily I used:
1. Fuji X-E3 digital camera rated at 200 ISO
2. Nikon FM loaded with Rollei Infrared Film rated at 100 ISO
3. Nikon FM-2 with Kodak Portra 800 pushed to 1600SO
I then exposed the Portra film to the modeling light of my
studio flash. Once I balanced the skin tone the other colours shift very nicely
to resemble badly restored Technicolor.
The Nikon FM with the Rollei film needed a deep red No 25
filter. I used the studio flash to expose the Rollei film
With the Fuji I used to different methods. In one case I
exposed the camera correctly. In the other I
grossly underexposed it.
That above guarantees at least four different shots that are
not identical.
In order to avoid some mixups I have one Minolta Auto Meter IV
F set to 200 IS0 the raiting I had for the X-E3. By going one over with that
meter I was using the correct exposure for the Rollei rated at 100 ISO. And for
the Kodak Portra the other Minolta meter was at the existing light setting of
1600.
