    June 2009 Portraits

    June is for summer, summer is for light…

    Taken with a poor man's soft focus "lens", a plain and simple magnifying glass that gives a focal length of about 200mm and f/2.6… Light from a window, a beautiful evening far north, three nightlights for the highlights…

    Charten 5x7, magnifying glass, Fomapan 100.

    Eddie that looks great, I think you win the Sally Mann award for the portrait of Coffer though. I think you need to work on your pouring skills a bit............haha...

    Re: June 2009 Portraits

    I just joined the forum and I'm just getting back into LF after several years. May I post an older portrait? Taken with a Calumet CC401, Caltar II E 210mm, Ektachrome 100.

    Re: June 2009 Portraits

    My first portrait post. This is a scan from a very cheap flatbed scanner of an 8x10 enlargement of a Shanghai 100 4x5 negative, Caltar 210 at f6.8, 1/60. I got into LF last fall because my landscapes lacked something, but since then have become interested in the problem of making a portrait (as opposed to finding or capturing the decisive moment). This interest may also have something to do with the fact that I don't always have a landscape, but I do always have, more or less, willing models...

    Shot in the living room with a cheap 500w halogen security light and two 250w photo flood bulbs I bought in a thrift shop. Please feel free to criticism or make suggestions for improvement, as I am here to learn. The corners are soft in the print, I think because I enlarge using a 127mm taking lens in a Graflarger. I could fix this, I guess, by burning them in.
