    Another nude...



    Another 5 exposures shot today with this one rendering the nicest. Polaroid type 56, scanned, de saturated, some colour mixing.

    Lovely, beautiful atmosphere.
    But may I ask (for my own edification, I have never used this film) why you choose the Polaroid? What does it offer that another film might not in this setting (besides of course instant gratification of which I admit to being a big fan)?
    Thanks,
    LJS

    I'm just getting back into large format after almost a decade of inactivity. I wanted to have that instant gratification right now just to gauge my feelings of going back in. I've got another 8 exposures to take with polaroid and may after that go right to sheet film. I'm loving the process and at the slowness of pace that is Large Format.

    Did you sharpen the print with PS? I am surprised a 5 sec exposure is this sharp, unless the model is stuffed...

    BTW, I checked your web site, very nice portrait work.

    Jorge,

    Thanks... This was not a 5 second exposure, but a 50th of a second around F:8. No sharpening...

    Jorge,

    Just an FYI, PS sharpening will not correct subject blurring due to mis-focus or movement.

    Ted,

    All technique and technicalities aside, this is a beautiful woman made even more lovely by a very, very fine talent in your image making. Delightful work here as well as on your site.

    Congratulations!

    Ted - I think you work through the angst just fine. That's a great shot. I hope you bring a print next month.

    This is what I was supposed to photograph with my 4 x 5, but with lots of frustration, I used a dslr, instead...
