Not really a portrait, but a head shot taken as a scanner test.

8x10 HP5, Fuji 250 6.7, one soft box, over exposed a half stop, under developed about 10 percent, scanned to output a 400dpi 40"x35".
(dry scan, no negative holder, just laid flat on the negative tray)
Nasty scratch, source unknown.
Still a lot to learn about getting the most out of this process.

Rather a technical test than a portrait. Well I know the emulsion is scratched but 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.

old pre-war uncoated Xenar 210/4,5, expired Classicpan PL 400 in Rodinal 1+50
