... so what film is that? I really like the image, and the overall "look". I keep going back to it and looking again.Quote:

Another Impossible 8x10. This material can be frustrating (especially the way it ages), but I think they're on the right track. They're testing new film right now which is leaps and bounds beyond this old formula. Hopefully they make it available in 8x10 before too long.

A decent start, but there are more possibilities since you asked. I'm sure you wanted to show him and his shop both.. I'd suggest making the lighting a little bit more dramatic and reducing the depth of field. The background is important but distracting. A little more light on the person would make it stand out more, and a thinner depth of field just enough to show the shop, but to make the person stand out would be more to my liking. More light on the person would make the background go a little darker. I think the white hair would be more splendid with the slightly darker background than you have. Keep it up! You've got everything you need. Expend some film and time.Quote:

I love the 809 shot. Just the right amount of light on her cheeks and eyeball. Beautiful!
