February 2012 portraits

[Jim Galli]

Here is a portriat I did today of my niece Joby, shot with a meniscus lens on 4x5 film

Wow! WOW! WOW!!!

Thicktheo I really like the colour in your image!

Tobias - I was born in Chi! Was that picture taken locally? I love the model's clothing and feather fascinator (if that is the correct term for her headpiece) - vintage styling is everywhere in Manchester and it makes for some interesting people watching I feel!

This is called color, you may have heard of it. I made a wet plate onto unobtainium and then stippled in the color with a 0000 sable brush and watercolors made from Yak dung.

OR......
It looks like someone admires K. Praslowicz

8x10 this time. Sort of weird not shooting full body.

Cool shot K. P. I am a fan of "environmental" portraits. What lens did you use?

Shot last night on Kodak Low Contrast Aerial Duplicating Film that expired in 1984. Cut down from a 400 foot roll that is 6 1/2 inches wide, so this image is roughly 6.5 x 9 inches. Developed in HC-110 dil. D in a Cibachrome drum on a rotating motor base for 5 minutes at 70F degrees.

Kodak 2D 8x10
10" A.T. Thompson magic lantern Petzval (approx. f/4.5)

The subject is engaging and the tones are lovely - well done Jonathan!

Jay,

Thanks. I am just starting to experiment with this film. I have a huge roll of it, so I can afford to blow through it unlike regular LF sheets. The tones are decent for being 30 years expired. I wish I had used a reflector to bring out a tad more of the dark side of the face, but I was pleased with the result in general.

The film is apparently mostly blue sensitive because I got more of an orthochromatic look than I was expecting: darker skin tones and more blemishes. The ISO comes to around 1.5.
