Long exposure on Ilford FP4 to create this 6×6 negative using a Mamiya C220 TLR camera.
Film suffers from Reciprocity failure. Reciprocity failure is what happens when, at longer exposures (generally shutter speeds of 1 second or more), the law of reciprocity (you guessed it!) fails!
A film’s emulsion is made up of a layer of silver halide c…Read More

This image is lit using two light sources. The couple is lit with a continuous light, boomed just above them. The window is lit using a flash from outside the window shooting back into the couple.

Thanks for sharing, Landie. We love the gorgeous lighting and nuanced contrasts! This isn’t the Photo Critique Group, but we’re curious: why did you set the aperture to f/29? At f/11 or f/16, for instance, the picture would have remained tack-sharp and allowed for a lower ISO. This would have provided better quality, especially if you plan to…Read More

About Me

Bruna Mentrup
TUTOR
I started my wildlife photography journey with nothing but a passion for capturing what I had seen unfold before me for years.
Determined I could achieve that, I set out with the most basic equipment, and eventually, my efforts were rewarded.
I, fortunately, love travel and being in my own company, so I spend months on the road in perfect partnership with the animals, great light, and the landscape. My confidence grew, and my images started to speak for themselves; so did my range of equipment, as did the awards.
My proudest moment was being made a Licentiate by the Photography Society of South Africa. I take so much pride in the steps I have taken, and it gives me such joy to see my work in magazines and hanging on walls of game lodges across Africa.
My philosophy is that anyone can acquire technical skills in photography. Still, you need heart, passion and a deep connection with what is around you to capture the finest of what Mother Nature has on offer.
