Thanks Darr-
Though I read your previous post with interest-

This one,
I went to long lengths to produce something that looks like it could have been done on digital, at this scale-

I'll be aiming to make more pictures like your one,
in the not too distant future-
Thanks for the remark-

Arkady,

Although such tight head-shots don't normally do it for me, I really love this one. terrific composition and lighting. The sepia tone does wonders for it as well.

Thank you!

Uh, why?

And, was this 4x5, or 8x10? What focal length? Just curious - it's a wonderful photograph, and I think as somebody mentioned, you nailed the DOF. Well done.

Stefan, that's lovely. I wouldn't change anything. For fun, explore removing the front lens and just focus with the back one to see what you get. You'll need 2X bellows and light.

Hi Jim,

thanks! I''ll try removing the element if the sun shines again in the netherlands, because a 500watt will be dificult for that kind of experiments!
Looking forward to try!
the picture is, to my surprise very sharp, even for a 1930 lens wide open
(detail can;t be shown in such a small pic, but I can count the eyelash haires,)
still, it is creamy!
As you can see, I'm still amazed about the lens/format.

regards

stefan
