Considering the contrast within the photo, I consider this fine work.

I love this picture. Somehow the eyes of the girl look like the eyes of a surprised animal and the tiger's eyes look so calm. I think the light is adding to that.

That's a very effective photo, Colton. The light, selective focus, composition, tonality...all are effective.

Deardorffuser, That's an effective, and a bit unusual composition. There's lots to look at throughout the photo.

That's excellent, Adrian! The tonality is wonderful.

[SoulfulRecover]

Dumb question time...Do photos in a "[Given Month] Portrait Thread" thread have to be taken only during that month?

Peter,
A Treasure !

[Peter De Smidt]

Thanks, Dennis!

[Keith Fleming]

Peter,

I echo Dennis's use of the word "treasure." I would apply that descriptor to both pictures of Janice and Lauren. Do consider making multiple prints of each of the two images so that future generations don't get into fights over who has possession!

Keith

[MultiFormat Shooter]

Never mind, I just realized that the one photo was taken in 1998. Guess that answers my question. :rolleyes:

I'm still getting used to this, but here's a 4x5 portrait on aluminum from a few days ago

[Peter De Smidt]

Here's one from 1994. It's of two of my friends from St. Andrews University shorty before their wedding. Sinar P, 210 Symmar-S, borrowed Novatron lighting kit. It's the first time I ever used studio flash.

Bravo! Was it handheld? I have the same camera.

Thank you! Yep handheld but I was crouching and may have had it supported on my knee. I also have a series B 5x7 Graflex, doesn't have the rotating back but still a wonderful camera. Now if I could only get my hands on a Home Portrait I'd be set.

Nice, nice job! I like how the parasol stregically blocks the receding archways, keeping the eye on the main subject. Did you do that on purpose? This is such a fine photograph, thanks for sharing it.

For the last 6 months I´ve been working on getting an antique Nicola Perscheid, 420mm, f/4.5 back in action. I bought a 8X10 Cambo, had a custom built lens board made and finally the other night I was able to try it out with my wife as model.
I like the look of this old classic lens and look very much forward to learning how to use it for years to come.

That lens does give a very nice look.

I've been doing some portrait shooting lately, and have one from a June "rendezvous". They are dressed as Hudson Bay Co. traders. Camera was Chamonix 045n, Ilford FP4, and I used a c.1858 5 inch Derogy Petzval. ISO 125, 1s, f3.5, x8 stops ND.

This is great. Is the lens shutterless? I have a 19" wolly that I want to use. Did you just say "hold your breath, don't move", open lens, count to 5, close lens technique?

Shutterless - yes!
I used a flash with umbrella behind her on the left. Opened the lens cover and shot the flash.

Thank you, Bill! But I just realized that I took a portrait with a plasmat.....

[dsphotog]

Great on so many levels, the emotional aspect alone will make this a cherished image.
The light is perfect, I like the pose, just the right angle to accentuate moms eyelashes, baby's hands are positioned, left on mom's hand for scale, and his right hand to his chin, looks like he's deep in thought.
If this is your family, congratulations!
I'm sure we'll be seeing many more!
