April looked so nice, I thought I'd get May started.

It appears that I have accidentally deleted it. I am waiting to see if there is some way to restore it.

1000 apologies. My intention was to remove my own posting, not the entire thread.

I am sorry !!

Great first picture to start the month...

Ken, Ken, Ken...

Never mind, it could happen to a Bishop-

There were so many good pictures on that thread, fabulous portraits-
The early ones from the Wetplate day, the big colour ones,
and that fantastic one with the cherry blossom-

Frank remarked that the standard was improving, and I'd have to agree-

Anyway, hopefully everyone will post again-

This was the previous first post in the May thread, although this is the other Colour neg I shot-
Genevieve seems to be finding her deletion funny in this one...






And a bonus picture- the only B+W neg I shot-
technically the best of the three,less movement in her face-








Arca Irish 8x10, Kodak 160NC, 11" 1862 Voigtlander Petzval-

Apparently there is no way to restore just the thread without hours and hours of effort.

Sorry again.

Please re-post your images. There were many lovely portraits here.

Well, I'll admit to getting a grin from the incidence.....
no worries Ken, it's all good.
"with great power comes great responsibility" lol
Or whatever the spiderman line is.....

Okay, a repost from wetplate day. Both whole plate, but different cameras and different lenses. First one was on the korona 11X14 with a Swift and sons rapid and the second on the century 10A with a dallmeyer 4B

May portraits now have this wonderful B&W shot.
This is a inspiration to me, wonderful portrait. Thanks for sharing this one. Rick
