Hi Simon, fantastic work, I am a Cape Town based photographer, been teaching photographic practice for many years – gave it up, amd this is my first year of freelancing. I am british born and would love to establish a client base in the UK. Do you know any photography agents who specialize in architectural work? How congested is the market at the moment? It would be really nice if you could find a few moments to have a look at my portfolio, be nice to get some feedback – http://www.adamletch.com

Thanks for your time

All the best

Adam

I use my 5d as a meter. If I keep the file it also gives a digital record of the shot, when/where etc. If you do this you need to recognize the differences in dynamic range between film and digital – negative film has FAR more, slide film less. So for negative film you need to meter for the shadows.

i own a V700 and usually scan 4×5 negatives without the holders, directly on the glass surface, this way nothing is cropped. pretty sure you can do that also on the V750

This has a great design – up to date, but they’ve still managed to keep an essence of “BBC” about it.

Beautiful. Especially the last photo at dusk. The bare trees against the sky are really striking.
