Coney Island Mermaids

The past few years the Coney Island Mermaid Parade has been the event where I shot most of my Medium Format rolls for the year. This was the event I most missed among all the cancelled activities of Summer 2020. This shot was taken with a TL-120 using a Vivitar 285H fill-flash. My TL-120 reliably syncs to flash at 1/125 even though flash sync is marked for 1/30. This has softened the shadows on countless Mermaid Parade portraits I’ve taken. Provia 100F pushed 1 stop.
