O.k My first attempt to take a portrait with a 8X10. I´m already in love with this old lenses after visiting Jim Gallis
web galllery. Its really a challenge to use 8x10 cameras for portrait
The result is really beautifull, a bit phantom like, a bit like nice young girl. There is a lot darkroom work as I think, the contrast and central sharp part really attracts eye. Excellent! r.
A really stunning image ! Snapped my attention as soon as I hit the gallery -- first 8x10 portrait image ?? ----sheesh--I give up !!! Honestly it is a terrific image and needs no improvement to my eye (my green eye, the envious one!)
