post "in Galli style"

[GSX4]

Here are a couple I made last week using a 6" Darlot lens and the Packard Shutter that Jim sold me... Both are printed onto EMAKS G2 paper, souped in Neutol WA, lightly bleached back, lightly sepia toned, and finished in selenium

Congrats Andrew, the second image is very good indeed. Now all I need is a statue that won't move for a few seconds.

I think this can work in color also. First two shot on a Canham 5x7 with a Verito 9" at f4 on Portra 160NC, the last on a Wehman 8x10 with a 14 1/2" Verito at f4 on Astia (?), not as nice I don't think but it does certainly swirl at that distance.

Eddie,
You could get one of those WWJD bracelets and explain to everyone that you use it for daily inspiration: "What Would Jim Do?"

This is an 8x10 shot with one of my Petzvals. Can't remember which one. Now that has me upset! Printed on some old Azo stock I have.

Jim, I don't have that problem, because mine has no name or mark on it!

so, please see attached picture taken with a nameless brass lens wide-open.

Alex, great plate and that lens is really nice. great sharpness and beautiful fall off. Don't ever sell it.

Hmm I'm sort of tempted now.
Which lenses will give this "Jim Galli Style" effect on 4X5" and 13X18cm?
Kind regards

hello,

some of the various old brass projection lenses are a goo place to start. the petzval design is the favorite among the LF posters but any design will give interesting "galli" style soft, dreamy, or swirly shots. oh! and whatever you choose shoot it wide open.

you can also do some selective focus. this you can use any lens for. just get your view camera into a pretzel and see what happens. this is what i did in photo #2 in my 1st post.

hope to see some soon.
