Figurehead from HMS Bembow (1813)

When I first glanced at the thumbnail I thought your portraiture model seemed a little wooden and when I got the full size I was right

Actually it looks very good and while the plaque underneath is in the shade I'll bet that on the actual print the resolution is good enough to read it all

Thank you. Yes you can read the plaque on the print. Actually, I can read the plaque on the screen if it is full size despite the low res JPEG attack. I had this delightful, pocket sized camera serviced recently (shutter and grubby lens) so I was giving it a test in my lunch break. I love the fact it fits in my pocket or briefcase and I have a medium format camera I can carry with me most of the time. I think 99% of people who see me out taking pictures think it is some kind of antique, toy camera. It certainly isn't. The Tessar is a terrific lens, very sharp. Sometimes I look at a print and I am taken aback by how sharp it is.
