I think this is compositionally and elementally beautiful.

Yesterday, I finished rebuilding a Packard shutter and installed it in an 8x10 Kodak 2D. This morning I exposed 8x10 film for the first time. I exposed 4 negatives and developed them. The negatives were drying at the time this was written.
By inspection, it appears that negatives came out great except for a tight head shot that is blurry. This tight head shot was shot wide open at f/4.5 with 360mm Xenar and the exposure was 10 seconds.
Question: For a tight head shots, shot wide open, how long of an exposure can living subject be expected to hold, i.e., for this shallow depth of field, do I need to be using a strobe lighting to "freeze" the my subject?
For a ten second exposure you have a few choices: You can screw the subject's ears to the wall, you can use one of those ancient studio torture devices to hold the head still, or, you can use a strobe. Most people can't hold absolutely still for ten seconds. if it requires ten seconds in ambient light you should be able to use open and shut flash. No sync required.
I've purchased one of these, it's a 155mm f1.2 multi-coated triplet, about 6 inches across that should easily cover 4x5. http://www.surplusshed.com/pages/item/l13001.html
We'll see how it goes when it arrives! Gotta figure the best way to mount it, being 6 inches across and weighing 5 pounds, haha!
