I had the pleasure of working with Jwlhyfer yesterday. The light in her apartment was gorgeous so I photograph her with just natural light. Jwlhyfer is a master at craft and we had a great time geeking out. More later.... oh, this is her normal wear :-)

Tom, I really like yours, too! Wide open, I am guessing? It's one of the finest examples of that lens's qualities I have ever seen - Cooke should lease it for their website!

:-) Thanks Paul! Yes, wide open

Hope this works....not so good with PC's.

My wife, shot in my newly built skylight studio. This was a test shot to see how the lighting works and how to modify it with diffusion material, etc. 6"x8" collodion negative, intensified with copper/silver. 30 seconds at f/6.3 (thank God for my headbrace! I'd be lost without it). I used an unusual 13" E. Hornster "Plastic" lens from Berlin that I got from MW Classics. It's a Periscop-style lens that requires correcting for CA, but it has a really nice rendition - subtly soft/sharp with a smooth fall-off which looks unbelievably great on the GG, but still figuring out how it works on the emulsion. Obviously, what I see may not be what I am going to get.

Great work! Shoot some film to better capture the CA; it has a bigger spectral sensitivity. Compliments to anyone for holding so very still for 30s.

To be posted in this forum, the photos of the camera also have to be large format! This means the only possible way to take a picture is to have a circle of large format cameras taking pictures of each other.

Nah. Mirror....

Thanks, I'm really enjoying it, I bought it a couple months ago. 1968 Honda CB450 Super Sport. It's the same type I rode in High School. Many bikes since then, then a long hiatus of about 15 years with no bike. But this one is more fun than any.
