February 2016 Portraits

alastair - very nice! Was that on a speed graphic, or a view camera or something else? (The Xenotar). I Have mine on a speed but it limits the close-focus distance with the rangefinder to maybe not quite that tight (will have to check).

-Ed

Hi Ed - thanks!, it was shot on a Technikardin - the Xenotar is one of the 'regular' 150mm F2.8 lenses. I would love to have it on something where I could have a rangefinder, but the depth of field is soooo thin at F2.8 (he said, holding his fingers about a quarter-inch apart) that I fear the rangefinder just wouldn't be accurate enough. Still, lots of fun to shoot with, and it's a real team effort with the subject and the shooter. They have to stay absolutely still, and I have to work quickly. I'll post a few more when I have a moment.

Lovely, Noah.

That's exactly why Potra 160 is my favorite color film. Excellent portrait. I love the colors!

[Peter De Smidt]

Nicely done, Noah.

My good friend visited last weekend. Former F-4 and F-16 fighter pilot, he is a really a very empathetic, caring person. We worked together when he taught Stealth Fighter pilots, and he's still very involved with defense. In more ways than one! 5x6 Wetplate, American radial Petzval.

If he's a stealth guy, he knows about Tonopah ;~'))
