This portrait was made using my 4x5 Linhof MT and a Rodenstock Linhof Select 150mm lens with Ilford FP4 and HC110. For public safety I minimized the scale of my posted image..... a full sized print shows a scary amount of detail!

Some more recent scans. I don't think the lab did a very good job on this set. I feel like it was someone who doesn't really understand how to scan properly BUT its better than the photos I took of the negatives.
I'm not seeing too much wrong with them! Really like the point of focus and the DOF on the last one. I'm assuming it is done with the use of movements. Can I ask how this was achieved?Originally Posted by SoulfulRecover

Tilt
What means DOF?
Depth of field
Thank you! Looking at the raw file up close, the scanner depth was off causing the image to be "soft". There was a lot of newton rings and an insane amount of dust. The dust is a quick fix though.
Anyway, I shot shallow, f/4.5, and used tilt on the front element. Then adjusted my focus till it was where I wanted it. The first image of my brother did not use tilt at all, just shot wide open. That was the first photo I took with my 4x5 so it was just a "hey stand there for a sec and let me see if this thing even works" shot. But its the only photo Ive ever taken of my brother so it holds a good deal of value to me personally.
Thanks Colton!
Thanks mono!
