Nice! I really like the expression on the boy on the left.

Caedon, Jonah, 1910 street newsies

My first portrait in a while since getting the wind knocked out of me a month or so ago. This is an 11X14 sheet exposed with a Voigtlander Euryscop Portrait #7 on the big Century 8.

Adrian, those are fascinating. I wish I could see the originals.

Here is my first portrait with my 8x10. I don't have enough coverage with my 240 Schneider lens. The shutter doesn't work so I have to use it like a barrel lens, only exposures I can count in seconds. But I'm thrilled with the big negs, and plan lots of alt printing. There will be more portraits in the future, I hope.
This is my loving and forbearing spouse, in our living room. Film FP4+, developed in Rodinal 1+50. Cyanotype on Fabriano Artistico.

Hmmm. I cannot think of any Schneider lens of 240mm that would not cover an 8X10. Do you have a longish lens shade on it? Or a stack of filters to throttle the amount of light?

I'm not using the lens shade, and no filters either. Around the lens it says:

"Schneider-Kreuznach Tele-Xenar 1:5.5 240"

I've assumed that the "tele" means it is meant as a telephotoish lens for 4x5? There is definately not enough coverage when focusing on landscapes or something more than 6 feet away.
