And I feel like a spammer...

Please don't stop posting, Stephane.

I can see from the comments that I'm not the only one that looks forward to your work.

As always, these are really engaging. I really enjoy the magnifying glass ones, too. I have an old brass magnifying glass

I love this shot, but I think I'd stand behind her if I had someone like that to pose with me...

I like this very much. The two people jump right out of the picture.

Gaia in Pyro


My first Lens tests for the Voigtlander Euryscope II. It has very creamy bokeh, and plenty of it when shot wide open. The shot, itself, would have benefitted from use of a soft box. That would have kept the highlights on her face in check.

I developed this one in PMK Pyro. It scanned easily, and has very good tone, apart from the highlight problem I mentionded. I scanned in RGB mode, then converted to grayscale.

Camera: Ansco Studio with 5x7 back.
Lens: 11 1/2" Voigtlander Euryscope Series 2, shot at F4.
Film: Ilford FP4+ developed in PMK Pyro.

Thanks to my wife for modeling
