![]() At 16x20, I'd much rather shoot 6x7 (or 1ds), but it really depends on the type of shot since a single head shot is less likely to show subjective softness when enlarged than a family grouping. Bigger than that and group portraits started to get soft though. From a tonal perspective they had their workflow nailed down, and nobody could distinguish their digital capture from portrait film in terms of color/contrast. To my eyes, the 8x12 and smaller stuff pretty much held it's own against 645 print film. Maybe a Chromira for everything - I dunno.I've just learned there's a subtle difference in the Chromira va the LightJet in a bigger print and I can usually spot the difference.Īnyways, since I've printed so much high end portraiture from MF in the past I've learned to nit-pick this stuff pretty good. Fortunatley, they were using conventional RA-4 papers, which I suspect was a Frontier for the smaller stuff and a Chromira for the bigger stuff. When I saw they were shooting digital I cringed because many of these shops like to use some portable, poorly calibrated dye-sub widget that I just can't stand looking at the out-put. While I wasn't overwhelmed by their rather bland choice of lighting ratios, I do admit they were doing a pretty good job over-all. Lets keep our fingers crossed.Ī few weeks ago I attended one of those couples nights in which a popular regional studio chain had a portable backdrop set up and was shooting dSLR. Regretfully it often degenerates into film vs digital debates which frustrates those of us trying to be objective about this important topic. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is a great question given the context Martin is asking. ![]()
