Jesus at 100

[Jim Galli]

A splendid portrait of a splendid subject. The humanity in the man's face makes the image quality worthwhile.

I don't know much about the characteristics of Petzval lenses. I take it that the very small area of really sharp focus is due to curvature of field rather than selective focus/wide aperture?

Thanks. Actually, both are at play. A 300mm lens approaching 1:1 on 8X10 film has paper thin dof and the petzval has the curved field thing happening too.

Sorry to resurrect such an old thread. That image of Jesus is stunning. Just stunning. Thanks for sharing.

Kudos.

This was worth seeing, I missed it before.

Thanks for sharing the story Jim, and thanks for bumping the thread lesmainrouges.
