Normally he's ALWAYS smiling, so posing like this was rather difficult to do for him...

Wetplate gathering with Sir Eddie
Last Sunday we met Eddie from the USA at the fotografica fair in Houten.
On tuesday evening he visited my small studio and Ben, eddie and me made some nice plates.
We tried some different lenses, including my large noname petzval.
Had never used it before.......
It turned out to be a great lens.
It's alway's fun to see other wetplaters making his or her own plates.
Everybody has it's own way of working and personal style.

"What a beauty.........."
yesterday i found this more than 120 years old HERMAGIS petzval.
It's a aprox 420 mm 4.5 lens.
Just perfect for portraits. I will have to make some waterhouse stops for it, but that's a nice thing to do during the winter.
