New Portrait Thread - September 08

[Colin Graham]

Thanks Allen and Nathan. Nathan, she swung her ass around when I was loading the holder. She had been standing foot cocked in almost mirror image to the gelding. A contrary horse, to say the least. Still, there is a sort of yin/yang thing there that I like.

Shot this one of my nephew Tyler yesterday. Tachihara 4x5, 210mm Schneider Symmar-S, old TMY 400, and a bevy of monolights.

Full size and detail crop included.

I have been teaching for 25 years, and this young lady is the cleverest person I have ever taught. The day after taking this portrait she flew off abroad to university.
5x7 Korona View (thanks, Jiri), 240mm G-Claron,2 second exposure at f22, FP4+, HC110, cyanotype on arches aquarelle. The scanning is not too good, I am afraid.

[Colin Graham]

That's wonderful Miguel. I really like your cyanotypes very much.

[Jiri Vasina]

Miguel, I'm happy to see the Korona finally put to use, and a great portrait with it. It's been a long time, are you happy with it?

[Miguel Curbelo]

Thank you Colin, that's kind.
Jiri, I bought the Korona to dip my toes into the 5x7 format, and I have discovered I like it a lot. The camera has obvious limitations, but I am having great fun with it.
