January Portraits

[lenicolas]

bbarna, that's a realy nice portrait. love it. who's the guy? can we find any of his music? i got curious...

[bbarna]

Well, I don't think so... :-(
I made the picture in Segou, next to a 'pub' where he had a performance...
His name is Oba Mafunda

8x10, kinda screwed the composition a little.. well, it was my second attempt to take the 8x10 out.. this time i hade a nice lite wooden one instead of the fully metal orbit i struggled with last time.

It's a good composition and has nice lighting but I wish you focused on the man's eyes and left the aperture wide open or only slightly stopped down so the cooling fins didn't dominate. Of course a few strokes in PS could take care of that ;-)

[monkeymon]

i used a lot of movements, all that i got out of the camera, to get the motor in focus .. i think it's the composition that makes the motor too dominant, his shoulde should have covered "laverda", then it would have worked much more nicely...

A few new wet plate portraits of some of my very best friends from this weekend. All are 8x10 on aluminum.

Nice time period shots to go along with the props, Kerik.

crazy enough to be photographed in a crazy helmet,
but the resulting eye highlights are even crazier-

As Ted said, nice props too-

Looks like you all had a great time being serious-

Your coatings are wonderful, to say nothing of the pictures themselves-
