September 2013 Portraits

[Tim Meisburger]

I was messing about with lights yesterday and shot this of Sofia. I know it is a bit of a cliche, but I enjoyed working it out (most difficult was dealing with flare), and it is very much what I intended. I only wish she was leaning forward some, instead of leaning back into the chair, but I guess I needed that to keep her stable. What I should have done is tilted the camera, and I will surely try that next time. 1/8 second at f8 on HP4. Scan from a print.

Imma sneak this one into September, since it's September where Tim is (). First sheet of film I've burned in, what, six weeks?


Back to school... by Scott --, on Flickr

The Arista film looks really good, Scott, and it's nice to see a modern lens in your work now.
Great stuff as usual.

Tim, very nice shot, reminds me of some 70s album cover.

[Mark Barendt]

Starting off with a bang, good stuff Tim and Scott.

Nope, tilting camera wont work, trust me. You got to get her lean forward - then angles of neck/ jaw would come out right.

today's sitting

8x10 film, 14 inch heliar @f11 (give or take.. its a bit hard to judge in darkness sometime - markings on old lense are nearly gone and i keep loosing duct tape bits i put in place).

I finally made some new images.

OLD (outdated in 1990) polaroid 665 pos/neg film - worked like a charm...

Painted with light - solarized..

A large format feline portrait that is in focus? Impressive! I couldn't manage a shot like this of my dog and she is sixteen years old.
