I shoot exclusively 35mm. Most of my old photos are not online as they have no digital versions, but I continue to shoot new works, of which get digitized and uploaded.
I also shoot no models, and do little post production a possible.(denoise, color correction, etc...).
---equipment---
Camera Bodies - Nikon on FM-2 and FM-10 as a backup/alternate
Lenses -(all fixed focal length, no zooms)
Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Soligor tele-auto 135mm f/2.8
vivitar wideangle 28mm f/2.5
Nikon Nikkor-Q.C 200mm f/4
All lenses have Tiffen UV protectors on them to prevent the blue wash in direct sunlight.
film - I shoot on kodak film for the most part.
right now:
Color - ektar 100, portra 400
BW- Tri-X 400, TMAX400
most of the older stuff is on gold 100/200/400 with a few rolls of 800
All black and white is on Tri-X 400.
As of june 2012, I'm going all porta400/ektar 100 as they are both excellent films that suit their respective niches well. 400 for evening, night, and late afternoon/twlight, and 100 for broad daylight. Look at the diffrence between the conusmer grade gold and the ektar/porta mix. its night and day.
Most time exposures are done on 100 speed film, except a few cases with 200.
I also have a yellow B/W filter, a 512 warming filter, and a contrast filter.
