A few from last weekend's re-enactment one shot on HP5 and underexposed (darned bellows factor!), other two shot with Ektar. I really need to practice more with the Speed Graphic/ Gundlach Petzval combo. On the Ektar shots, I used channel mixer to make a black and white layer, blue filter for Herr Major, and Orange for Dani, then dropped a copy of the rgb layer set to "color" on top. Just seemed a little better.
Well done Jesse,
First try! Outstanding!
jesse,
are you using a shutter with the lens, or just 'guessing' with a lens cap
couldn't or shouldn't this be under the thread already here?

Thank you alanbutler57Originally Posted by alanbutler57
Thanks Jim, I'm using a Compound 4 shutter.
Before the portrait, this is my first Petzval picture
Tamara 02 by Milos Gazdic
+ Graflex Pacemaker Speed 4x5
+ No Name Petzval aprox 5" ƒ3.5 (shot wide open)
+ Kodak T-Max 100
Shot in Belgrade, Serbia, few days before Tamara got married to Nikola late in the summer of 2013.
This was my 2nd shot made with No-name 5" Petzval. I was more happy with this look after I have shifted the position of rear elements but I was missing the Swirl for which these lenses are known for. Finally few days after the shoot with Nikola & Tamara I've set down & played with the elements in it until I've managed to arrange them in a way in which they are swirling enough as seen in this shot: flic.kr/p/gzuGUC
