When I grow up I want to be an orange tree!

Photography:first utterance. Sir John Herschel, 14 March 1839 at the Royal Society. "...Photography or the application of the Chemical rays of light to the purpose of pictorial representation,..".
Hey, Jim! Actually it just depends on the angle. Yesterday I went up and re-photographed the below image with the boys in about the same positions -- now as 13-year olds instead of 5-year olds! And instead of an 8x10, it is a vertical 7x17 -- a little more of the tree included!
Then we went along the Parkway where you and I photographed along the road for awhile, and took a horizontal 7x17 of the boys...in a way have I not done before. I used my 19" RD Artar -- seemed to cover well.
So, something old and something new for the first day of the New Year! I'll get those negs developed in the next couple of days.

Vaughn, can't wait to see the images. The one along the parkway is that the set up you were talking about with that great tree along the road? BTW I got a great deal on a 19" Artar and it is even in the aluminum barrel! It will cover the 14x17.

Jim, I did not use that tree this time -- I had a different idea for a portrait.
I used my 1000W NuArc last night for the first time. I first did 50 units, then 200, then eventually 600 units and did not quite get past making the film base+fog black...but close (we'll see how they dry down). Making 7x17 carbons was no problem...making good ones is the challenging bit!
