Portraits shot with classic cameras

I would like to see some posed portraits shot with classic cameras, here is one i did with a 2x3 crown, post em.<div></div>

the above was shot with a 127mm ektar @ 5.6

one more

Just last week I developed some portraits (informal) taken with my Rolleiflex 2.8E. This photo luckily captured

the lil goomers in a quiet moment.<div></div>

And one more, taken by my 9 year old daughter. She really likes the Rolleiflex viewscreen. She didn't have much to work with as far as the subject....<div></div>

<p>From my first roll through my Yashica Electro GSN:</p>

i had the crown mounted on a camera flip bracket on a tripod, camera on its side, flash flipped up straight, after focusing on the gg,I attached my film back, closed the lens, she then moved &*^&%$^@#, after several minutes, I got the shot : )

Nice pics!

Taken last week...<div></div>

From my first rolls with the Yashica 124.<div></div>

Taken last week at the Mounted Cowboy Shooting Match. Balda Baldax 6x4.5 w/2.8 tessar, Fortepan.

Here is another. This little girl could ride AND shoot. Ikonta model A w/3.5 Novar, Centuria pro 400.<div></div>

With Meyer Oreston 50mm on Exakta in Window light; and, they did not pose!<div></div>

Here is a stereo shot with two 6.5x9 Zeiss Maximars on Arrista 100 sheet film.<div></div>

The film was Ektachrome 200. Scanned recently. Here is another from the same Camera & film.<div></div>

I dont think the film was dried well when i scanned it. 2x3 crown@5/6

Amazing portraits gentlemen. Cliff, I can direct view the stereogram-it looks very dimensional and cool! Once we get these

old beasts cranked up, we've got the best shots on all of Photo.net.<div></div>

Thanks John! It was a rare lighting occasion in Milwaukee, WI, with the snow reflecting the light from out the window. That kid is today a mother of two and is a Doctor in Trauma/emergency Care and is an accomplished Classical Indian dancer!

Susan and I at a local blues concert on our anniversary. I blew the exposure but Susan likes it cause it's one of the rare times I've smiled for the camera.<div></div>

Great portrait Russ, my son loves the old cameras too, what lens does your rollei have?, i just bought an old rolleicord with the xenar lens, i havent gotten it yet, supposed to get it this week. looking forward to trying it out, nice image lionel, i hate having my picture made, but i love taking them. cool little camera urs was taken with, i just bought a retina 1a about a week ago, great cameras

Thanks Russ,

The stereo shot was actually posed, but like John's subject that got bored, mine turned. Try setting up two 2x3 cameras, both focused correctly, both lens shifts set correct for stereo, both shutters set, both apertures set, both verticle shifts set to perfectly align the horizontal plane, and leveled, pull both dark slides and use a dual cable release. It's not an easy feat to get a good pair. I think when I shot this I was looking at the bubble levels, and she turned to talk to someone right then. I took alot of pictures that day and also 24 stereo shots. Old cameras ROCK !

Thanks John for this post, I love posts like this that we get to see the results from so many great old cameras. Hopefully some poeple might see these and decide to tryout an old film camera and throw their camera phone away.
