Getting to know the Wet Plates...

Hey Ted,

Nice plate, I like the mood and her expression, quality of light too.

Taken two weeks ago so I guess it justifies as a June portrait. DIY converted Polaroid 120 Pathfinder, 4x5 Fuji Across.

I do like tones and expression here. The tone is sort of the essence of why we still use B&W film.

How'd you get the focus right on your self portrait?

Thanks.

I got my girlfriend to check the focus and load the film holder. Would have been difficult otherwise. She got it exactly right, I think.

Here's my very last june tintype portrait:

This is a very good environmental portrait. Composition is balanced, with good leading lines. The two gentlemen are nicely posed. Notice that there are no tire tracks near the tractor and that a log is positioned well behind the tractor. Don't know if that was staged, but these small details make for a job well done.
