That is beautiful Kal. Those eyes! And the detail in her dress is wonderful. What was the time in Rodinal 1:50?

Hi Lyn...the time was 15 minutes at 20C, One inversion at the start, followed by one inversion every minute. Thanks for the comment. Rgds, Kal

As have I...they're very eye catching IMO. So simple and yet so rich. Were these all done with a plain 80mm lens? It's really hard to tell, could be a 65 or 50 even for some of them.

Whatever the number, my kind of portraiture.

Hi Colin. The "I Am A Tamil" series is all 80mm (and a few of those with +1dioptre. The "Three Seas" Series is a mixture of 50mm and 80mm. Thanks guys, always rewarding when a project works out, especially with comments like yours! Rgds, Kal
