Thats the name I gave to a 7-1/2" long giant seahorse specimen I recently acquired, who is going to be the subject of a still life 1:1 on 8x10 film. I'll be contact printing the finished print on warm tone graded fiber paper, likely Slavich or Emaks(or perhaps I'll break out the AZO?) Being dry and brittle I don't want to use my hot lights and risk catching him/her/it on fire, so I'll likely rely on old Sol and reflectors for lighting. Trigger's details are pretty intense so I'm thinking of using either TMY or FP-4+. I do need to find some non destructive way of getting trigger to stick to a back ground---perhaps a small velcro coin? For a lens figure I can use either a 10" WF Ektar or 240mm G Claron and still have enough bellows on the 'dorff---if not then the 159mm Wolly.
I was wondering if anyone here has played with this sort of subject and might have any advise or suggestions?
