December 2013 Portraits

[Ari]

Attachment 106100

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

Very cool-looking photo; the uneven processing works to your advantage here.

Sergei,

This is perhaps your most compelling portrait yet. I have been in awe of your technique, but this one absolutely transcends the rest with those utterly overwhelming eyes as well as the technical expertise. Congratulations.

thank you, Tim. Glad i am growing Thats the whole thing with photography - it never stops.

You are quite welcome. I hope I didn't come across as a critic, but rather as one who truly appreciates fine work. Your statement is dead right. It never stops and after over forty years at it, I still learn every day, especially from viewing exceptional work like this.

I haven't been shooting much these past two weeks, but I managed to get in a quick shot of my in-laws during their recent stay.
They did great: f8 at one second, and they held very still for two sheets of film.
