"Adriano, though an eidoscope #2 f/4.5"

I fully agree, this one I like alot, it's just exactly perfect.

Bravo.

Nothing technically fancy. I've a small studio space, about 15ft wide by 20ft long, with with a bank of south facing windows along the length of the space. That image was made on a bright but overcast day, around mid-afternoon, with all of the windows unshaded.

What a great space that must be.

One of my first 8x10 images. I got lucky as I still haven't had the time to buy a darkcloth or tripod (used a sports coat and set the camera on a counter).

Hah, thats just an awesome portrait of your(?) dog. And a very nice image, if I must say so ! =) Cool.

[szadow]

Fantastic shot! And what a great dog sitting and posing long enough

How long you take to keep those subjects still with large format? I feel to focus until loading the film in holder and take the shot the subject will not be there waiting, mostly that dog.
