Great work Jay and Stephane!

Here's my girls on a walk at the Plaisted Preserve in Owls Head ME. I have my trioplan with me for non-soft photos since I know it renders the forest and people well.

Thank you Peter and Scott!
Here is another one from the Russian series, still using a Nicola Perscheid 480...

Symmar-S 210mm, 1/15s @f/8 - repurposed old nightclub spot lighting

SA 90mm, 1/15s @ f/11 - ditto

SA 90mm, 1/15s @f/11 - ditto

SAXL 58mm, 1/2s @ f/16 - daylight through window

I tried playing with movements and I'm not really happy with the results for the first three. Especially my friend Nate, in the first shot there. In the GG, I had thought the exaggerated body would look good. Turns out I was really wrong. The other two just have wonky focus and poor use of framing.

I'm just glad to learn. I've gotten fast enough with operating the camera that I can trust myself with focusing on composure.

Stephane,

Superb portrait,

Sendero,

Me too, I liked the most the #3 shot, natural lightning helps a lot,

Another good one Jay. Portra is working for you!

Thank you! I think my process is coming together, or at least I'm starting to get repeatable results with lighting + exposure + development + scanning + post. There's a lot of things to work out!

Another good one Jay. Portra is working for you!
