Movement Blur - DIY Camera

[Pete Askew]

Despite the movement blur, I still quite like this portrait. It reminds me a bit of a wet-collodion plate. Again shot onto a paper negative using the DIY camera but with a 1 minute exposure (cf 10s - http://www.realphotographersforum.com/people-portraits/4879-reclining-portrait-diy-camera.html).

I think it is quite successful, there is enough sharpness to make the light reflected in here eyes somehow still look sharp!
Obviously these are toned ... digitally I assume? Have you done anything else to them?

 

[Pete Askew]

Other than a crop and removing few spots, no. toning was done in SilverFX so some more grain was added and the contrast increased. Basically what I would have done in a darkroom.

Looks darn sharp for a one minute exposure, Pete. That's a long time to sit still. However, the softness in the image is very nice indeed.

Your project looks like it's coming on very nicely Pete
