Hi All,
I would like to beg your forgiveness for this posting, when compared to the extraordinary work everyone else has posted. BUT, this is a portrait, and, more importantly, it is my first ever LF shot, so I've very pleased about it (actually I took four photographs, two didn't come out because the film wasn't in the holders correctly, and the other one I didn't like as much). I also developed it myself - using the taco method - you can just see the dark line in the left of the picture where the developer can't have covered the film enough.
I did all this just from reading the wealth of information on this site - so I want to say a big "Thank You" to everyone here.
Although this was entirely self taught, I am going to get lessons on how to do this properly this weekend ;-)
Regards
Steve

F/11 @ 1 Second, slight front tilt to get the front tree branches to line up with her face.
She was tired but reluctantly agreed to sit for me, she's only 4'8" so watch out!
EDIT: it's not supposed to be purple, must be some issue with my phone uploading to the site... (Grumbles)
That is, in some ways, a rather disturbing image. In other ways, though, it is quite nice to see. I once knew a man who had his nose amputated due to cancer. He became a recluse and didn't want to be seen... even with a prosthetic nose. It is sad to see this man's condition, yet quite nice to see that he seems to be dealing with it better than most could.
Great series, Riccis!
I hope you continue with these folks.
