Most of my involvment in photography these days is for money; either
shooting or assisting. Right now I like the challenge of having to get the
shots, because someone is paying you to do so. It's very different than
shooting for friends, family or even second shooter. The pressure is
greater, but
Interesting question, J.C., because it makes me think (which makes my brain
hurt, but I digress...).
I guess I do it for fun. I certainly don't make a profit from it.
But, you know what? As much fun as I get from it, I think it goes way
deeper than that for me. I'm going to sound all stupid

Thanks Bill.
Also for anyone in the area, a local art center (Meadowbrook Art Center,
Novi, Michigan) has a small exhibition of Monte Nagler's work. Monte is one
of the better B+W photographer in the area if not the country. I believe it
runs through October 11th.

I personally think that winter and bad weather is the best moment to test
very saturated color films like Ultra 100 or Portra UC.
In summer colors are allready saturated enough and I prefer to use soft

What is Portra 400UC? Portra 400VC is my favorite color negative film,
particularly with the 6x7 where speed is a factor. I've even used it for
some portraits instead of the NC. But I'm curious about UC. What is it?

I use a lot of Portra 160NC in 35mm, but I tend to use the 400 versions,
both NC and VC in 6x7. In part for better depth of field but also for
higher shutter speeds that negate any vibration problems. I generally
expose the 160NC at iso 100 and the 400NC at 300.

Hi Bob,
Shooting with BW negative allows for a great deal of flexibility. In
contrasty situations you can shoot over and then hold back on
development. With that new spot meter of yours, you can easily measure
the contrast range of the scene, and then expose and develop
accordingly.
