Hardware and Software Before October 2004 I used a Nikon N70 35mm film camera and made photographs with colour negative film. I now use a Nikon Super Coolscan 5000 ED scanner to produce high resolution digital image files. The images in "Bangkok-Wats" and "Vientiane" were made with a Minolta Scan Elite 5400 scanner and processed using SilverFast Ai Studio. Since October 2004 I used a Canon 1Ds digital camera, but up-graded to a Canon 1Ds MkIII in November 2007. I capture in raw mode and now process the images in Lightroom 2.6 and Photoshop CS4, aided by plug-ins such as NoiseWare, PK Sharpener Pro, Nik Silver Efex and Nik Viveza 2. I also use Lightroom's Greyscale panel and CS4's B&W Adjustment Layer for B&W conversions. I now print my photographs on Ilford Gold Fibre Silk paper in an Epson 3800 printer using the Epson Ultrachrome K3 inkset. The galleries are produced in Lightroom. |
