I'm sure most of us don't get what the fun in the joke is.

Practising portraits...



My third attempt at an indoor portrait.
Speed Graphic + 135mm Optar + fomapan 100
2.5 sec @ f8

I think my focus is a little off - nearer to the camera than it should be. You can't really tell now that I've shrunk it down for the web . Much happier with the tones this time. I used a black sheet to deepen the shadows.
It would have been good to try the light at a different angle but the room is too small. I don't know how I'm going to get far enough away to take any pictures with the 210mm Caltar II-N I'm getting for Christmas!

Nice shot Dave.
