Good!!
In this one I tried to focus as close as possible but I didn't want to "cut" the chin or anything ... I was just too busy focusing that I forgot to check the frame ;-)
Well... hahaha, I neither could nail the focus !!

Sinar P 8x10 with Xenar 480mm at f 11 a bit of softening in PS! Delta 100 in XTOL!
Wow! That's very nice.
Yes, indeed! It's the perfect example of how a photographer can't progress beyond routine text-book perfect photos without breaking a few rules.
This is a portrait of "Nancy", a Peruvian sheepherder's wife, camp female who takes care of all the men & more in the high Rockies. This image was taken with a historic Scovill Albion field camera, 6.5 x 8.5--with 5x7 reducing film. The image was taken, not recorded with either an original Victor Rochester lens or a Kodak Extar 152mm. This is a whole new endeavor for me, working with this camera, 5x7 film, & lenses. More than likely it was the Extar 152mm.

Very nice portrait Raymomd, spontaneous, relaxed, but dangerous if needed,
Cheers,

I love it Jay - I am assuming its posed/studio, but it has a casual feel. I like it a lot!
Oh and the colour rendition. Beautiful
Jay that is one of the finest portraits I have seen in quite some time. Work harder at getting her in front of the camera. What a wonderful spirit presented here! Bravo
Monty
Jay great pose and color palette.
Sort of posed. There were 30 or 40 digital shots (and a couple glasses of wine) before this to loosen her up. But she mostly did her own thing and I was quick on the shutter. Nice thing about studio lighting is you don't have to worry about the subject being too still, so long as they stay in frame, stay on plane and you pump enough light in the scene.
Thanks guys. More in the works.

Stephane,
Niiiice! What about this lens? New to me BTW, and wonderful results,
Cheers,
Renato
Plasticca?
A meniscus lens wide open at f/4.
You can screw the glass in the back to get overall softness, or like here in the front for sharp center going crazy at the edges.
Small and easy to carry around!

Didn't really have enough light, so I did quiet a bit of post processing, call it "digital lemon aide".

Thank you.
I am actually not that knowledgeable about all parameters of the process, so I usually use most of the time the same process which seems to work fine:
- I develop in a Paterson tank using the holder for up to 6 sheets;
- I use 1+100 dilution and a total of 1.2 liters to be sure the sheets are properly covered;
- No pre-soaking - I use mostly Ilford film and they seem not to recommend it;
- I agitate for 30 seconds but I don't do tank reversal - sheets tend to slip out of the holder if I do, leading to uneven development;
- I use tap water and mix cold with warm until I get to about 19.5 degrees Celsius (it usually warms up about one degree until finished);
- development time exactly 60 minutes;
- stop bath 1 minute - I use a vinegar solution;
- fixing in whatever fixer I have, I am not one to see any differences between various brands...
I am sure someone more experienced would certainly be able to improve the process, but as long as it seems to work...

Thanks for taking the time to do that. I've read a bit about it and your process seems to be roughly in line with what I read with maybe the exception of a mid-way gentle agitation. Living in Scotland the temperature here tends to drop by about 10 degrees over an hour 😀 So I might have to watch that!
Regards,
Gordon (Milonian)
Gordon, you could fill a bathtub just enough that your tank won't float, make sure the water in it is roughly the same temperature as your solution and place the tank in - this should be getting you a fairly better temperature control. You could also similarly use one of those portable food containers - never tried thid myself, but I've seen someone recommending it.
