Portraits from the Demo

Franklin Annink and I have done lots, lots of portraits during our
try-out days and Demo days.
It was so great to work together and we created such beautiful portraits.
Some are so perfect, almost too beautiful, others are with flaws and 'things', created there own special charm.
The portraits are on Alu-plate. Most of them are 5x7, some are 7x9 inch.
We have used old wooden view cameras and an F/4 lens.
Times where around 6 - 10 sec.

From the Fleur series:

Fleur Rigide

For the exhibition in Amersfoort,
from 24 august till 22 september 2013 have I made a series of portraits
with my friend Buvana.
I have chosen for different themes but all connected with Fleur.
This is the first one, Fleur Rigide.

In my garden

Very sunny days, almost to much light.

I made a mix of very old collodion and fresh collodion. 

That gives me a little more time.

They are all made with the Kodak Aero Ektar lens.

Some on F/4 and others on F/2,5

For Gerard

Always on my mind...

World Wide Wetplate Day

4 May 2013, World Wetplate Day, 

It was so sunny, to much sun for my Aero Ektar on F/2,5 

so this is one on F/4 and old collodion.

Old collodion is much slower then new. It gives me two stops, the old collodion.

The first attempt for The Nest.

Zonnemaire - First day with the new Darkbox

Wetplate Outsite

Here it is, my darkbox, at last!

It's small, light and it works good. 

It's very warm under the cloth and I have to be very careful to do the cloth around me so that no light enters. But it works - I'm happy! :-)
