How about a New Portrait thread?

[MenacingTourist]

Here are a couple of recent ones. Well...recent as in Easter.
Crappy scans but you get the idea. The kids are cropped from an 8x10.

Both shot with a 2D and 12" Velostigmat (f6.3 or f8)
Natural window light
JandC 100 film
Forte multigrade paper

Portraits are really not my thing, but I wanted to have a go at it with my 11x14. Sadly, my scanner doesn't scan 11x14 and I was too lazy to stitch...so here's a cropped version of one of these portraits. Cyanotype - haven't had time for the darkroom.

Efke PL100
11x14 (originally)
Schneider 360mm f5.6 Convertible Symmar
Window lighting only (and on a rainy day to boot)

Cheers!

Per Volquartz at the 2006 Owen's Valley gathering. This is the only portrait i've shot with the 8x10. Wehman 8x10, 450mm nikkor M @f11, FP4 in rodinal. Cropped cuz i hadn't paid attention to the head room.
