Blue and Red (Test Shots, Mamiya 7).

2017, Beyond 200 feet of My House™, Film, Inspiration, Kodak Portra 400, Mamiya 7/7II, Mamiya 80mm, Print, Teaching point

Test Roll #1, Frames #4 and 5 of 10.

In the first shot I was re-familiarizing myself with the dynamic range, in the second the bokeh.  In both I was testing for the focus accuracy of my rangefinder.

1/125 | f/4 for both images.

So far, so good.

Explanation:  A little word play, post-Christmas, inspired by the Ghost (of Christmas Past) in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. The gentleman with the red scarf passing by the #demellopalheta window appropriately seems straight out of the Victorian era.
