Unspoiled, except for the crappy digital rendering from my iPhone of a finished 14x17 print sloshing in the tray Attachment 95793
Here is my disaster. My first 11x14 X-Ray image. Looks like I had light leaks, I now think was caused by my electric tooth brush, in my bathroom darkroom. I always forget... Digital shot of neg on light table came out real good, better than some scans.
I did twist the neg in digital to give the sitter something. After all he is the one who sold me the camera and lens, very cheaply.
I can do better. I need to get rid of the white septum and black marker lines that show up in the neg.
That is the camera. It only has rise and tilting table. Seems enough for this type portrait.
GG is homemade, rather badly, needs a lot more sanding. GG is removed for each shot. I only have one holder. Film is taped in.

I know there's no art or photographic value in this shot but sure I do remember and learned from it!

Thank you!
I do plan to move to 14x17 and do portraits such as yours. I have that lens, but my camera will be bitza, cobbled up.
First I need to work with smaller formats and get my technique improved, and setup the darkroom infrastructure I will need. No way is this happening in my bathroom/darkroom.
Cool image!

I rated it at 100 and I think It needs to be way less. Then again it was the Packard and my one second may have been off.
