Andre -- beautiful work! I love the simplicity to these portraits. Each photo covers an excellent tonal range. If you don't mind me being curious, did you develop this film yourself? Also, what method did you use to find such a perfect exposure?

 

I think this is some of your best work yet. I hope you keep 'em coming.

Thanks for the comments!

 

This was shot on Kodak Plus X (ISO 125) which expired 15 years ago, developed at Vistek, and printed on colour paper, then flatbed scanned and sharpened in software. Haven't gotten to doing my own yet, soon though.

 

My metering was basically done once with a hand held incident meter - I may have adjusted once by eye depending on the situation - but probably not. It was partly cloudy that day, with a few trees in the backyard - so it was probably f8 @ 1/125. (Sunny 16, +1 stop for partly cloudy, +1 stop for insurance)

I am in the same league with regards to development of black and white film. To date, I have shot little of it. Over the next couple months, I plan to try my hand at film development. I hear it is kind of like baking cookies. (I guess I ought to have my Grandmother do it for me... hehe.)
