How long will it take?

When she saw I was photographing my boy (see the picture above this one), she wanted her photo too. But she was loosing patience quite fast, faster than I was able to execute the shot... But it was fun anyway...

My hat is off to your for these moving objects on large format. Bravo. It seems female prerogative begins very early. Cheers.
That's simply PRECIOUS!Rather a technical test than a portrait. Well I know the emulsion is scratchedbut I´m quite happy there is something to see at all as this is my 3rd LF picture taken and developed.
Odd borders are result of using 5x7" film in a 13x18cm holder.

I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to slowly inch your way towards the cat with the lf and tripod and go through the motions without scaring the cat away.
Great job Vladik!
Disturbingly sensuous...
Jiri, those two shots (of your children?) are what makes me want to shoot more portraits in lf, as difficult as it is.
Claudio, Jim, Lee, thanks a lot for your kind words. They make me (almost) as happy as when I took those negatives out of the tank and saw their potential
And yes, Lee, they are my children. The girl (Katerina) is 4, the boy (Matej - or Matthew in English) is 11months and a bit.
But I'm still only learning LF portraits (or portraits in general), I hope that in future I'll be able to create one as beautiful as that of benrains above, or others presented here in the portrait threads. They are the driving force, they are the reason why I keep trying (and I have quite a lot of failures)...
Thanks
