8"x10" preflashed grade 2 paper, Fujinon Xerox 240mm lens, stopped down to 3mm (about F/90), hence the corner vignette. 4 second exposure.

Corner-to-corner sharpness is pretty decent with this lens, but you can't tell in this image because at f/4.5 the DOF is extremely shallow.

The subject did a great job of remaining still during the setup and exposure. The extremely shallow DOF sort of hides the fact that her head is square up against the backdrop, which I intended as a stabilizer. About the tonal range of the paper negatives, they're not flattering for skin tones, and the blue sensitivity shows blemishes easily. And the lens is really sharp, showing every surface nuance. For serious portrait work, pancake makeup would perhaps be in order. (!)

The images were taken with my new prototype MDF 2-1/4 x 3-1/4 view camera through a 130mm lens salvaged from a big old Kodak folder.

The first image was f/5.6 for 1 second onto pre-flashed Ilford MGIV variable contrast paper without a yellow filter and was developed to completion (I have never had any success with over exposing and pulling the negative early, the ilford paper just seems to go blotchy).

I found the dark, almost metallic looking appearance of the apples rather intriguing.   The paper would be responding to both blue and green light, however it seems to be the blue content that has dominated.]]> Fri, 3 Sep 2010 18:00:29 banana_legs http://www.f295.org/Pinholeforum/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1283550485/ http://www.f295.org/Pinholeforum/forum/Blah.pl/Blah.pl?m-1283550485/#num1

f/11 for 2 seconds onto pre-flashed Ilford MGIV variable contrast paper, developed to completion as usual.  The tap was in shade so the dynamic range of the tones was not huge and therefore I did not use a yellow filter, resulting in a more contrasty negative than I usually aim for.

Oddly, this negative was the only one of the three that was significantly spotted with dust after processing. They say that monsters do attract a bit of unpleasantness....

This is a two second exposure. Quarter inch aperture (~f/16). Ilford grade 2 RC paper, Ilford chemicals. I did "push" this in the darkroom -- three minutes in the soup instead of one.

Anyway...

8"x10" homebrew view camera through the rear element of an early 1900s rapid rectilinear lens giving a 340mm focal length.  9mm stop cut in brass sheet to give f/37.  I tilted the film plane back and twisted the lens a bit to see how the depth of field could be varied; there is not a huge amount of control as the lens seems quite soft at the edges and should improve with stopping down further.

6 second exposure onto pre-flashed Ilford MGIV variable contrast paper, through a yellow filter to improve the dynamic range, developed to completion.
