Hello everyone, it's been a little while since I've posted anything (I've been running around with a LF rangefinder!) but I got to thinking today that I just have to take a decent photo of my new Oleg-treatment Zorki 1C.
For anyone that is curious about the lighting, I found that photo-flood units where I am cost waaaay too much new, so since I didn't need the ultra-high brightness of the hi-watt photofloods I decided on another tack. I went down to the local hardware store and purchased two clamp-on tungsten floodlamps. I then purchased some blue-tinted daylight bulbs and voila!... a tungsten lighting kit. Since most of my close-ups are small, different backgrounds are supplemented with a handkerchief.
