My wife and youngest:
That's a lovely photo geetee 🙂
Thanks Peterfile but how do I now link directly to it, i.e. so it appears in the post?
Very frustrating; it used to be really easy to link to pictures in Flickr.
EDIT - OK got it.

Sunset portrait by polarisandy, on Flickr
Polarisadny - love this, very good. To what degree was it staged versus candid? I don't think it matters either way but it would be interesting to know.
I think it would be better if the focus was a little sharper and the exposure a little lower (so that the face wasn't quite so burned out and you could then lift the shadows a little in the digital darkroom), but it's a wonderfully sensitive shot otherwise.

Is that Speckled Jim?
Alas, no - it's England's Glory from The Accrington pals, including the rawl plug beak. 🙂
Hello Geetee, thank you for the comments.
Interesting observations.
My son was sat on the cupboard when i walked past, i thought PICTURE!
I got a light meter and went to the bench and did an incident meter reading from the brightest spot whilst he was sat there.
He's used to it...
I went and set the camera up dialled the settings.
He'd jumped down by then.
When i was ready i got him to jump back up walked to the other room and focussed on him.
Then i waited for him to relax, get bored and look out of the window and took the shot.
Trouble with using a 1966 camera is that it takes a while to set up.
When you click through the image onto flickr and make it full screen it is sharp.
On a 28" monitor it's pin sharp.
Sometimes flickr/STW softens the image, sometimes it sharpens it.
Yes the forehead is brighter than i would like, but it is a very contrasty shot.
Negative has great latitude, positive film slightly less, ?5 stops.
I still find it more forgiving than digital though.
I could have done a reflected reading from the forehead or just shot one or two stops less but might have lost shadow detail in the cupboard.
I only take one shot and don't bracket them.
I've only got 12 shot per film which equates to a quid per picture after processing.
With existing light film photography that's just the way it is, everything is a compromise.
(although i could have used a reflector on the cupboard, but then that needs another person to hold it just right and the moment is gone)
or....it could just be poor technique 😉
cheers
Andy
Only taken on the phone so nothing special but I do like the look of concentration on his face

I seriously doubt that and apologies for having doubted you in the first place. You're clearly far more accomplished than I.
You were right; clicking through to the image on Flickr does show it as pin sharp.
I had a look through your sets and there were almost too many tag as favourites for it not to be embarrassing! I was particularly keen on the lighting you capture in many of the portraits and some of the landscapes. The one of Ullswater springs to mind in particular. Reminded me a little of Don McCullen.

Hi Geetee, thanks for your comments, but really it could be poor technique/user error 🙂
Thanks for the favourites on flickr.

Again for some reason you have to click through for it to be sharp.

Rather pleased with this, one of quite a few I took of bluebells this year.

Not posted for ages as I've mostly been taking work stuff but did these recently. I know the miniature look has become something of a cliche but I'm never afraid to embrace such things!

andy, those are lovely.
we follow oddly similar paths, at very similar times! I wouldn't be surprised if we've met!
Here's a couple taken this morning. Had wanted to get out last night to get some sky shots before the moon came up but typically the clouds started rolling in as the sun was going down.
