September 2014 Portraits

[jcoldslabs]

Sorry to start off this month with my ugly mug, but it was done in the interest of photo science! Still on a quest to shoot the oldest film I can find, I shot this (with my wife operating the Galli shutter) on 8x10 Ansco Plenachrome that expired in 1948. There was some edge fogging and a few emulsion irregularities that I removed in Photoshop, but otherwise the film has fared pretty well. Unfortunately, the focus is off a tad and I moved a tiny bit during the two second exposure. The film is orthochromatic but did not seem to render skin tones as dark as I might have expected, although I am one pale specimen.

Century 10A, 12" f/4.5 Ektar, 8x10 Ansco Plenachrome (expired 1948).






And here is the data sheet from the box of film:

Nice, I like the framing. You should copy+flip the top of that onto the bottom to put yourself in a "frame" .

LF Selfie thread? XD

My Cooke PS945 came in! Since my wife is away for a few days so I have no model. So I tested it with a selfie :-)

I tested it with F4.5 also but I didn't realize the Copal shutter does not like "in-between" shutter speed :-[

The "5" fingers is a reminder that it's F5.6 :-)

Developed in Bluegrass authentic Harvey 777.

That's an intense portrait, Alex!
