Evolution of Our Pictures

The picture above left is of one of our ECC83's and was taken in early 2000. The camera used was a Canon T70 with Canon prime lenses and studio tungsten lighting gear. The technique had taken six weeks to evolve and the prints back from the lab looked fine. The image was then scanned and processed with Photoshop 4.0 to achieve the result shown.

The second picture, on the right, was taken in early 2004, it is the same valve that was featured in the first photograph. The camera this time is an Olympus E20 5 MegaPixel digital camera. The image was loaded into the same Photoshop 4 and processed to give the picture. The lighting this time is a Bowens studio monobloc flash of great age. Getting the balance right with the new camera has taken many months but only working occasionally.
