When I was 16 or 17 I undertook an evening course in photography at the local technical college. Much of what we did is a lifetime away - a technological lifetime as well as a human lifetime. Apertures and shutter speeds, ASA ratings and range finders - it's all the stuff of museums today. We also did a number of sessions on lighting - a subjects that is just as relevant in the days of digital images and pixels as it was in the roll film days of old. A model was employed by the college and this is one of the shots I took fifty or more years ago. I doubt whether I have taken a better portrait since.
Wow! Great portrait, Alan!
ReplyDeleteThat's a terrific shot, indeed!
ReplyDeleteGood old black and white and yes, an excellent photo.
ReplyDeleteCertainly looks excellent. By the way, where did the image on your banner come from?
ReplyDeleteThe light is interesting.
