This month’s film challenge photo is of veterans Ronnie Winstead and his son-in-law Terry Trapp here in Madisonville, Ky. The two are subjects in my Veterans Portrait series I’m working on and after I finished photographing them with my Nikon D800 for the project I shot this photo of them outside, along with Terry’s daughters, I think. Either way the girls were gracious enough to hold the flag for my pictures, which helped to make the picture.
I shot this with my “Lomography Sprocket Rocket” which is a 35mm plastic camera that will allow you to shoot photos that include the sprocket holes of the film as part of the photograph, in panoramic format. Focus is basically two choices, close and far, set shutter speed, not sure what it is though as the f/stop is either cloudy or sunny. I’m guessing about 1/125th of a sec at f/16. Lens is built in and plastic. To learn more visit their website at http://shop.lomography.com/us/cameras/sprocket-rocket-family
Post processing: Film scanned using Silverfast 8 interface and then opened in Photoshop as a RAW file and edited in the RAW plug-in before opening in Photoshop. I then did some dodging and burning and fine tuning in Topaz Adjust.
