Basic, straight, I love it ! Thanks for recording the interaction with the person in front of the camera while taking the image - this is an important part!

congratulations on a nice print , keep it up more kids need to be printing when shooting on film .. the print is the goal!!

[@williamshakespeare9815]

Those are beautiful shots! The texture of the paper adds to the picture.

Thanks so much! The paper for these platinum prints is Hahnemuhle Platinum Rag. The other paper I sometimes use is Bergger COT-320, which is slightly warmer but behaves similarly otherwise

J'apprécie particulièrement les portraits à la chambre photo 10 x 12 c m ou 4 x 5 i n c h, on fait des très beaux portraits sans aucune granulation, et avec une certaine netteté.et une certaine profondeur,et avec le papier photo traditionnel, que l'on peut développer jusqu'au bout, on aura un travail d'une très grande qualité.

Hi, what lens are you using on the 8x10? kind regards

[@silverandplatinum]

This lens is a Fuji 210mm lens, so pretty wide. I can’t remember the exact model, but I know it opens to f/5.6

[@chriscard6544]

why do you set your aperture at F/45 ?

[@silverandplatinum]

Good question. The fastest this lens fires is 1/125. We’re in the shade, so at that speed, ambient light would be f/8 or so. I need the strobe to be significantly more powerful so that the camera captures the flash, not the ambient. The other nice side benefit is that the deeper depth of field gives the subject a little more freedom to move around without worrying that she’ll end up out of focus. The major disadvantage is that you can see the wrinkles on the backdrop a bit, but that wasn’t a huge concern for me with this particular portrait.

[@chriscard6544]

@@silverandplatinum thank you. Very interesting

[@dorozina]

To get some DOF? With 8x10 "sensor" you have 0.13 crop factor ;-) So in terms of DOF your f/45 will convert into something like f/6.3 on 35mm camera ;)

Nicely done!
