How about a New Portrait thread?

shot on 4x5 and composed square using the front half of a no.3 tessar iib. the flare made the original negative a little lacking so i added a texture shot from another negative.

Put a little X into Xmas....

There are far too many boobs on Frank's site, but I never miss one...(or two, in this particular case)

Happy New Year 2008!

I have finally started to develop the summer's negative in my darkroom (read kitchen).

This was taken on a wonderful beach at the south of Sweden. Since the next land is Germany (and you can't see it from there) I just love the view.

I used my Sinar F2 4x5" 180 mm Tri-X 320.
Kentmere VC Fiber with Tetenal warmtone.
I think that I used 1/60 @ f8.0

I didn't told Ellen how she should stand (I rarely pose my children). It was one of my first attemt to shoot with a tripod in salt-water. That and the sand wasn't good for the tripod, but I think I managed to get it clean.
But since it's a realy crowded beach it was a couple of people asking what we were doing.
Naturally I like talking photography with other people, but I really love to show the children how the image looks at the GG.
Why don't the teachers show that cool stuff in the school?
