Wow. I have an Automat MX and have yet to try portraits...but this gives me encouragement. So well done.

Thank you, Gentlemen! This was setup in my living room. No stylist, makeup...., but there was a Bernese Mountain Dog, Klaus, who was very helpful. I made my first 8x10 photos that day, using a Century No. 7. Alas, I was a newbie and didn't realize that the post for the Packard shutter being gone was a problem. Yep, double images. I made a few Polaroid transfers. Remember those? Rollei TLRs are wonderful for full body or 3/4 portraits, especially if they have a brightened screen. My Automat is from 1953. My father bought it at Sears to use for photographing high schools sports, predominantly baseball and basketball.

That's a great shot, Peter.
Monica sure looks happy. Hope her wishes came true.

If you believe you can, or you believe you can't... you're right.
Thanks, Leigh. While one can never be sure, I think so. Monica is my sister-in-law, and I've known her for over 30 years.

Very nice! The Automat mx is a secret weapon for making awesome photos.
