Do selfies count? With Megan/Palesaent. Whole plate tintype. I had a devil of time being still for 7 seconds, obviously.

Thank you!

Of the soft-focus lenses I've been able to try out the Kodak Portrait Lenses are my favorites. This is closed down to around f/11, which I find is just about perfect for my taste.



Century No.8 w/8x10 reduction back
Kodak Portrait Lens 405/4.5
Ilford HP5 Plus / Adonal 1+50

That's certainly the look I like too. I need to shoot my 305 or 405 more....too many lenses.

A better problem to have than too few! But the 405 is definitely the fanciest in my modest collection.

Hi guys!
This is my first really solid portrait I've done, developed, scanned, and printed from my new Deardorff. Used a 360mm symmar @ f/16, Hensel 1200 w/s porty pack with Octa camera right and ringflash on camera to give some nice specular highlights. Fuji full green scale xray film rated 100 iso developed 4 minutes in Xtol 1:1.
I also have a shot of this guy and his work partner, sans helmets, I'll try to post it later!

Cheers

Grant

Way cool...

Just a simple portrait of Toko.

She was shy, but I like her smile..

multicoloured Bromoil Print. (submitted in the alternative photography thread as well - but it is a portrait...)
