I am sure these will be treasured.
I think its a fine portrait with tons of character! :)
Some really strong images so far this month! Really enjoyed each image so far.
Here's a shot of my wife from yesterday, inspired by a John Singer Sargent portrait (although its not a strict...
This lens gets little love for 8x10, but what about as a portrait lens for 4x5? The coverage should be plenty and the focal length is right.... can't find anyone talking about this application for...
Thank you! Maybe about 4'.

Latest military portrait, this time deliberately using some of the harder light like one saw in the Karsh portraits. The key is just a 7" reflector,...

From WikiPedia:
Wista 45vx, Nikkor 9SW, f/32, back tilt to keep overhanging branch in focus, up shift as shooting from near ground level, HP5+ in...
Thanks to both of you! I am trying hard to learn how to make a simple, quality portrait. I'm fascinated by the principles that have remained more or less constant in portraiture since long before...
Lovely work!
Honestly, no real correction, I just wanted to drop the exposure a smidge longer (without stopping down too much further and compromising resolution to diffraction) and didn't have an appropriate ND...
Another for my military portrait series.

Fantastic shot!
Thank you! :)

Wista 45VX, Rodenstock 150mm @f/16, orange filter, front tilt, ilford FP4+ in DD-X about N-1 or so. 8 Second exposure.
Fantastic!
Thank you so much that's kind of you to say! We have a few lovely north-facing windows, although the space is actually quite cramped... I want to get back to doing some of my military portraits with...
So Amanda seems convinced that her left side is her "better" side, but she doesn't seem to realize I love *all* of her many sides.
This is my first go with the big camera in a year or two and even...
Larry,
I did follow through with the project and was very happy with the results!
I had my printer Robert Cavalli make a series of darkroom prints as exemplars for Puritan's production team to...
I don't post on here super often, but I've been following this thread with interest as I too am looking to publish in the 50ish book range and have been dissatisfied with most of the options out...
Here are a few new ones! C&C welcome.

Some really lovely work in here right now, but love these particularly!!
Thank you Randy!
Love the shot Michael!
Hi folks!
I'm still not much of a landscape photographer, but I'm trying to get a bit better while out here in WA for a month. Always happy to get feedback/critique.

The portrait of your daughter is a really great expression!
Thank you!
The Doctors are my teachers, the butter bars are my classmates, the 18-series is my old team leader, and the 11A was a classmate's brother.

I am working on a series of military portraits that, while maintaining an appropriate sense of decorum, focus on conveying more of the subject's personality. This was the first in the...
Thanks again!
Does anyone know for sure about the cap sizes for this lens? S/N 9668549. It has the "for Wista" designation on the shutter but is a Copal 0. The front filter is 40.5mm. Past...
Thank you all for your input.
I picked up a cheap ($220 shipped with wista board) 135mm Sironar-N MC (which I understand to be roughly the same as the APO-Sironar-N) today that looks to be in...
Hey all,
I'm looking for a moderate wide to complement my 210 Nikkor on my new Wista 45vx. I know that 120 is the "natural" 2 lens combination with a 210, so I'm looking for a lens between about...
Picked up a 45vx on that auction site in great shape for a fair (I think) price.
Does anyone know the size of the tripod mount screw? 1/4? 3/8? I don't see it in the manual. Trying to get...
Hello all,
I'm getting back into LF after a hiatus, and trying to rethink my setup for what I plan to do.
My intent is to use my 4x5 setup for portraits and some "urban landscapes."
I have...
Thank you all for the info, and particularly to Oren for the comparisons.
So it looks like for $200 shipped, given the lens is mint with tested and guaranteed shutter speeds, my incompetence...
As I continue to muddle around and try to figure out how to make a decent simple portrait, I've decided to dust off my old Cambo monorail and get it into the game. I was only lacking a lens for it,...
Shutter, that is quite an arresting portrait! Striking mood. Thank you Ramiro! Cheers all!
Here's another from 2 days ago. Shen Hao 4x5, Fujinon 240 f/9, FP4+ in DD-X

Thanks for the feedback all! I've greatly enjoyed viewing the talent on this forum and learning from everyone's experience so far.
First image share here, and some of my first efforts at large-format portraiture.
Love your shot ustas!

Thanks guys!
I've had a hard time tracking down Vinne Dixon... does he have a site?
Platon is iconic, yes... but also ironic and somehow less classic and heroic than I am looking for. Lots of...
So imagine for a moment that you were looking for a timeless military portrait in the tradition of Yousuf Karsh. Preferably large format B&W film. Who in the United States would you hire for that...
Really enjoyed this image. If I had to nit, it seems like there is a very minor convergence that I think could be ironed out. The left line is not parallel to the edge of the frame to my...
Very nice images!
