    It took me years to shoot good portraits, and I still get whole sessions that come out totally crappy.

    And hey, let's be frank: 70% of a good portrait is the model, the styling and the make-up, the other 20% is the light and the background setting (which, yes, need to be in sync with the model, the styling and the make-up) and 10% is getting the frame and the focusing right. This applies to all formats, digital or analog, small, medium or large.

    Just got the one that was matched to my Speed decades ago.

    Reunited as I see it, with period mounting solution on a Speed board.

    I will never be able to use it hand held, so, tripods R Us.

    Could not agree more with this (maybe getting the focus right is more like 50% in large format!). A good, patient, model makes a world of a difference.

    I spent last Sunday shooting free tintype portraits at the local Western Photographic Historical Society's annual camera show/swapmeet. Good practice, shooting 11 plates in a day. Most were waxed and went home with the sitters, but those in the club let me take them home to varnish and will get them soon. Here's one of a local photo-historian/collector, a 6x8 plate done with a Murphy Eagle Quick-Working Portrait Petzval...
