April portraits

[Laurent L]

Hi !

Today I turned forty, while looking at the threads I realised that noone had already opened the april portrait thread, therefore, if I may, I'm honoured to do so.

So here we go with this portrait made by the seaside a few months ago.



I used My Sinar F2 and my beloved and shamefully underestimated tele arton 240mm 5,6 at F11 on HP5 4x5"

Thanks to all the large format photographers from the whole world who come here to share their photos, it gives me a lot of courage and inspiration.

It's up to you now, I hope I will be back on this thread.

Thanks !

Right. How about a bit of .. umm.. feminine stuff to kinda dilute that trend of april.. Technically this was shot on Friday night, but i just got around to process it. So there..
