very nice family portrait

Thanks Peter; No soft focus on my visit to England; I traveled light. Everything I needed for 4 days in my backpack that fit the size/weight requirements for carryon luggage. It was a snow squal when I left Maine, and we had 8 inches of fresh snow upon my return. It has since mostly melted. I'll have to find other things besides snow to photograph soon.
Corran; Family photos are tough and that is good. I am a sucker for the tessar background too.
Thanks to you both, and jp that portrait has some fabulous light. I keep coming back and enjoying it. Is that computer just in the park?
The computer is in the park in it's original building, but is managed/staffed separately for some reason. Apparently there's some drama around that and all the money coming in for improvements, but the people there were as sweet and pleasant and down to earth as could be, and I think I managed to capture some of that humbleness and down to earthness in my photo.
I agree, and I would be fascinated with the computer. Old computer stuff is quite interesting - I was taught how to do basic programming with punch cards in a gifted class in elementary school (of course I remember nothing of it now). My grandfather was an electrical engineer for the air force and then freelance so I would see old tube electronics all the time in his shop and would play with old parts and such.

Corran & JP, great photos. I agree on the Tessar. They're a sleeper. I bought into the Rollei 2.8F for a long time & then sold it for a super angulon xl. Eventually I missed the Rollei & bought an old Rolleiflex T & had it tuned up by Harry. I've become totally enamored of the tessar. It really is a lens of character. The Super Ikonta, as you demonstrate C, is also in a class by itself. Beautiful images, both!
Thanks Greg!
I continue to be enamored by my Leica M9's skin tones lately. I've been using it more for commercial work after having calibrated the rangefinder which I knocked out of alignment the first day I owned it. Anyway, here's a photo from today as the wind was blowing in a storm using the M9 with a Nikkor 8.5cm f/1.5 and SB-800 flash:

Very nice Bryan. The bride looks surprisingly calm too.
Amazing shot
Love how the veil is blowing in the wind.
Enjoying the outdoor time in that magical gap between snow going away and blackflies+mosquitoes arriving.

This was shot with the Minolta Dynax 7 (which always accompanies my digital Sony cameras when on assignment), and the Minolta 85mm/f1.4, on Kodak Duplicating Slide film that must have been 20 years old.
I must say I am having trouble getting sharp 35mm scans from my Epson V700 and I may have oversharpened this one in Photoshop, although Flickr tends to apply some sharpening too. No post-processing apart from sharpening and a very slight color correction.
Theo, the V700 isn't ideal for 35mm film; for best results, the coolscans and like scanners made for 35mm strips are better.

I think I'd rather have had a roll of color loaded instead.

I'm really liking that one, Sergei.
Classic style
thanks, guys
I agree with Tuco, Gary and ndg. It's one of the most striking portraits I've seen here in quite a while. The sitter should really like it, too.
I had to re-motorise the Rondinax:

I used my D600 in BW jpg mode as a Polaroid before shooting film. I am new to this kind of shooting, and critique is welcome. If you don't want to derail the thread, please pm me your suggestions. Thanks!
