January 2015 Portraits

[Pali K]

This is from December. Deardorff 8x10 with Apo Ronar 360mm at f/9
HP5 in Rodinal. Window light with room lights off. Neg scanned on Epson V700.

Really nice Michael! I just got this camera and have a very similar lens on its way so it's nice to see what you can do with this combo.

Hi Tim,
Thank you; I use HC-110 developer, dilution H, for all my films. Developed in a Jobo 3005 on a motorized base.

Really loving the background here, Ray. A lot.
Nice-looking guy, good pose, nice suit, but the background is killer.

Really, that is a perfect portrait; hands, pose, framing, light, everything.

Thank you Ari, it is a very cool daylight studio here in Portland that I sometimes use.
