A test image of TXP320 in the Graflex Series D. I souped it in Rodinal. I think the hazy hilights may be from the lens, and I would be interested if people think they are OK or I should get it cleaned...I think I like it here.
This is hand held, so the graflex must be hand holdable at these speeds...
This is my daughters doll and pram...she's away right now..so I got away with it!
The highlight is a little strong for my taste but this is a great image, kind of a little spooky and un nerving !! Thought the baby might be for real at first.
Good stuff
Thanks guys...Lith it is, Vic I cleaned the lens tonight and it was basically haze on the rear element I think. I could see it before starting and it isn't there anymore. So unless it is a coating issue, the scatter should have gone. Will have to try it out again next weekend. The image was so much clearer on the ground glass I could not believe it! I then cleaned the ground glass and the colours on the TV (which I usually use for testing brightness) were in another league....should have done it when it arrived I guess...just being lazy. Rgds, Kal
Contrary to popular opinion, lith does not improve every picture. I like the shot as it is but with maybe a bit of burning down of the highlight top left. IMHO lith is to harsh for the mood this well crafted shot evokes.
