Yesterday i finally had some spare time to make some 20x20" portraits.
It's all more, bigger, heavier. But, this is really great.
Making plates 1:1 is so much fun and looking at the plates it just looks like the sitters are still in my studio.
BTW, this time have been using Amaloco rapid fixer. As told before, the difference between KCN and rapidfixer is really marginal. The tone of these plates are fantastic.
Just have a look at the last picture. That tone is how it actually looks like.
Now i have to find a way taking good pictures if this plate to be able to print it.
A brief impression :
( thanks to my friend Ben who made the pictures)

Wat gaaf!!! en wat een joekel van een glasplaat!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenFantastic Alex! Have you added more lights, or still the same setup? What exposure time?
BeantwoordenVerwijderenActually , it is more or less the same set up. I was a bit surprised by that at it has a much longer bellows extention.
VerwijderenOngelofelijk, wat een joekel van een camera moet dat zijn. Ik heb veel kwaliteit gezien in fotografie maar dit slaat alles, complimenten met uw passie.
VerwijderenAlex, this is fantastic! If anyone ask the question: Does size really count ...the anwer is YES :-)
