March 2016 Portraits

[AGagnon]

Looks like there is a problem with my previous image - I can only see it with Safari on my laptop. It doesn't show on my phone or with Firefox.

Sorry for the double post.

Antoine, my son.

Thanks for reposting. It didn't show up for me, either. Lovely photo.

Not your typical LF Portrait this looks very casual and natural more like a Portrait done with a 35mm camera in the course of a reportage or family outing. Very nice.

Thanks! There is actually a bit of front swing and fall involved but it doesn't stand out much. I got lucky with the timing since they were both pretty engrossed in their painting and moving quite a bit.

Death Valley images: This is from across the valley, across is the "Dante's View". Below is what Dante's View views. I hope that makes sense :-)

Angel by Toby Key, on Flickr

Shot with a 210mm APO Symmar @F22 and Iford FP4 pulled 1 stop.

I used a cheap muslin backdrop I bought off of amazon - be warned it is a bit thin and I have to clamp it some black colorama to stop whatever is behind it from showing through!

Calumet C1 with reducing back, 300mm Symmar-S, expired Plus-X 125

I am very impressed with this image. The girl's pose and expression is excellent, and the interaction between the subjects has been caught perfectly. The placement of the boy's left arm provides a strong edge to the composition directing attention back into the frame, and to the activity he is involved in. I would be very pleased to have made such a beautiful picture!
