It would be weird if you weren't...
Excellent images, btw!

Good job Alex.

Like some of you have read in another topic I had some troubles with the development of this picture, so I had to some Post & Retouching work with it.

Like!
Subject DOES MATTER!
Tin Can
11x14 tintype on aluminum.
Chamonix 11x14
Beseler Series III 18 in. f/3.6
Test plate for a wet plate demonstration.
First 11x14 portrait done in my portable dark tent.
It was tight but all the 11x14 gear fit.
Pouring big plates outside is definitely a challenge.
Plate was underexposed and a little over developed.
"Scanned" sloppily with a Canon 5D3.
Nicely done!
The pose, prop, outfit & environment all create for an appealing photo.

I'm not into portraits but that's fascinating, neildw. Lovely palette, perfect focus.
