A new set from recent experiments with Fuji Astia color transparency film. About half of the photos were taken with my new (to me) Ebony Wide 45 view camera and a Nikkor 135/5.6 lens. The remainder were done with my Mamya RZ67 and a 65/4.0. Once I got used to looking at upside down compositions, I found the utility of the ground glass very significant. I think it will suit my shooting style quite well.

The basic goal was to shoot the same sort of 'IT' shots that I've been working on for some time now but translating them into color. I used similar exposure settings to retain a darker sort of look but tried to keep the color values relatively high lest I lose the point of dealing with the expensive and finicky transparency film.
