Today I spent time making portraits in the Klong Toey slum boxing gym. I ended up photographing 6 boxers and 1 three year old slum girl. Did all the portraits with to Rolleiflex and close up lens set #1. I am still getting a feel for these style portraits am a bit worried how the f2.8 stop and 1/8, 1/15 shutter speeds will work. Sometimes I used a cable release sometimes not. It was a fun few hours of shooting. I think I am done with the gym for now. I need to save film for the dump shots. Later on if I have film I will return. Will bring some photo presents for the boxers next trip.
Shot a bit with the Leica M6, 35mm at f1.4 and Tri-x rated at 800 (very dark at the gym.
