Alex, I have to disagree with your title. It's not Scrooge nearly so much as it is Sean Connery in "The Great Train Robbery". Either way, it's one fine portrait. Congratulations!

Window light? Strobe?

Just a big picture window, about 5ft x 5ft, on an overcast afternoon. The exposure time was around 1 sec and I pushed the film one stop to EI 800.

I have to agree. It's an interesting portrait, but not how a native English speaking reader of Dickens would see Scrooge.

In twenty years he's going to love this. I love it now.

First contribution to the portrait thread in a while.
This was shot last year, but processed yesterday; the processing was pretty messed up, and the holder had a leak.
Still, I rather like it.
