Description
CAPTION
Gents, if you want to win a lady's heart, surprise gifts are one of the surest ways to catch her eye. A bauble, a trinket or, if you're really daring, a bit of something lacy can be a quick ticket to her favors. She'll look at you with that gleam in her eye that lets you know you will be getting your present later.
If you do go for the surprise outside the bath, though, try and make sure it's something she needs both hands to unwrap!
TECHNICAL DETAILS
This photograph was taken with a Gowlandflex large format 4x5" Twin Lens Reflex (TLR) camera. The size of a large toaster, she's a big girl and quite temperamental, but if I treat her right the results are stunning. The taking lens is a 180mm Schneider-Kreuznach Symmar-S f/5.6.
Film used is Fuji Astia color transparency film at 100 ISO. I do the E-6 developing myself.
The film is drum scanned by a pair of Dutch photographers, who are known for the outstanding, professional quality of their scans: for example, they have scanned images for the Van Gogh Museum. Drum scanning ensures the utmost quality; the 16-bit files are over 200 megapixels, and 450MB in size!
I use a color calibrated workflow, and I export the files in AdobeRGB color space to ensure widest color gamut available.
