Darlot 14" Petzval

Perhaps pushed a little too hard in development but I think it just scrapes through. Portraits are not my strong point and posing is hard for me to direct. Something I am working to try and improve.

1.5 sec exposure, should have been 3 but pushed dev to fix.

I saw this and the other image on the other forum. I think they're both amazing. I don't think you have to make excuses for either wetplate or portraiture technique. You're doing great work.

Such timeless appeal Alex. Really starting to hit your straps with the Wet Plate.
