This is the only full-face shot taken on a day of candid "hand studies" in a class of music students. (yes, that's an electric violin. :)) I'd like to try real portrait work sometime but it seems to be such a different discipline from my usual work.<br><br>Cheers,<br>Tom, on Point Pelee, Canada.<br>http://tomoverton.images.googlepages.com<br>Wed, 07 May 2008 18:12:09 GMTTofflehttp://www.traditionalphotographer.net/forums/Topic1136-44-1.aspxI've been away for a while, so thought I'd start a thread to say hello and try to post an image. Still playing with portraits. Two weeks ago I had a call from 38 years ago. It seems someone from high school was able to track me down through work and the internet. Missy's older sister was going to be traveling to Sedona for the weekend and wanted to know if I was interested in a visit. To make a long story short, I met Sandy at the airport in Phoneix and spent a day in Sedona with her (I'm lucky to have a generous and understanding wife). So nice to visit and laugh about old times. <br><br>The image was taken on a windy morning with the 4x5 Shen Hao, tri-x 320, 180mm Fujinon CMW then developed semi-stand in pyrocat. I don't care for the way my new scanner (yep, finally broke down and bought a new one) dealt with the image as it is a bit harsh. The print is softer. PWT with dektol and selenium. best, timTue, 06 May 2008 19:07:52 GMTTim Curry
