March Portraits

[Peter Mounier]

This is a picture of my 91 y/o aunt, staying in California while the days get longer and the freezing temps of her home town, Juneau, Alaska get more hospitable.



Comments and criticism welcome.

Very nice. I like the contrast there Peter.

I shot this yesterday as an experiment. I used my Polaroid 900 and Xenotar 135mm f/3.5 wide-open, handheld, with Tri-X 320 shot at 200 and developed in Rodinal 1:100 semi-stand for 1 hour. I had two flashes on either side of the church with umbrellas triggered wirelessly for fill light. Here is the result:

@Peter Mounier: She doesn't look like she's 91 - but that's only good. It's a very good portrait.

I took this picture today in the study as an experiment. It turned out quite well, I think. No flash - only two very bright lamps.

Bryan and DavyG
Thank you for your kind comments on my photo.
You sure nailed the lighting and tonal range on your shot Bryan! I love the dynamism there too. Nice shot.

And yours too DavyG, with the angled floorboards, the unusual perspective, and expressive face of Daniela. Very nice.

Thanks!

Helle, through what I think was a kodak 405.

Another one from the concert I shot Friday. This one also with my Polaroid 900 and Xenotar 135/3.5 wide-open with a couple of flashes on either side of the church. Portra 400NC, outdated and developed at home:
