Nude in Galli Style

[Jim Noel]

Made with a magnifying glass, 5x7 lith film, Dearforff, D-23.
Scanned from Palladium print.
Yes I know the scanner glass was dirty.

Nice, Jim. It looks fairly sharp to the edges. (well, relatively) Did you stop the magnifying glass down?

 

[Chazzy]

I love it.

Fantastic!

Too bad it was not in focus, you forgot to use the rule of thirds, and that it came out all brownish....

;-)

Looks nice, but I need a magnifying glass to see anything - it's a bit on the small side!

 

[Jim Noel]

The glass is stopped down only enough to hold it on a shutter with black tape.

 

[Jim Noel]

I realize it is small. I don't know the maximum image size for ths forum.

No worries, Jim!

With the extension .jpg the image can be 3000 x 3000 pixels or 1.20 mb, whichever comes first.

I created a number of apertures to go with my magnifying glass. It gives great coverage for 8x10, and stopped down to f-32 or so it makes the sharpness/softness a little more even across the image.

Great work!

did you shoot it using a magnifying glass or use the magnifying glass during the printing process?

This thread is close to a decade old!... and since Jim hasn't been seen since last June, here goes... He shot this with a magnifying glass on his camera. It's easy and fun to do. I even made a few "stops" with black construction paper. Working with the magnifying glass "stopped down" a wee bit, gave me best image.

haha, yeah sorry. a friend was telling me today that he sometimes uses modifiers on his enlarger's lens to manipulate images, curious if this was the same process. did the black construction paper resemble a lens iris? thanks for the help!

I carefully cut out holes with a scalpel. I see you just joined Photrio today. Welcome!
