Very cool work, i prefer when the focus is on the eyes and it seems to be a little bit behind but great shot with your 4x5 camera

Glad you like it and thanks for your nice words !!
To shoot a portrait in LF is not as easy as in MF or smaller.
After you have focused on the ground glass, you can not immediately release the shutter
as in other formats. Before that you must close the shutter, insert the film cassette,
choose the aperture, cock the shutter and pull out the dark slide.
And now you can release the shutter.
And in all that time, the model is not allowed to move ...

I know all that... cameraflou.deviantart.com/art/...

I shot with 4x5 and 8x10 camera sometimes...with no shutter lens, like petzal lens or old kodak lens...in this case it's just the cap of the lens wich is the shutter So you should must verify you focus more than one time with a magnyfing glass and not move the camera and crucify your model !!!

Large format is another world, an other window in our world and into the photohrpahy, but you can also made large format with no tripod with the 4x5 format and technical chamber like Horseman.


So keep it on your good job in photogrpahy with large medium small digital anaolg format

Herrliches Bokeh!

Und Fomapan 100 ist wirklich nicht schlecht!

Aber Florian hat recht! Schärfeebene liegt hinter den Augen.

Tja,  man kann nicht alles haben ...
Würde es gerne nochmal mit einer Blende kleiner Versuchen,
aber es war schon spät (ca 21:00) und die Arbeitswut war schon klein ...

(Matthias erscheint um die Nase allerdings ein bisschen unscharf...hat er es etwa gewagt, sich zu bewegen? )

Nein, er war wirklich standhaft.
Allerdings ist hier die Tiefenschärfe minimalst.
Und weiter schließen wollte ich die Blende nicht,
um das Bokeh nicht anzutasten ...
