In order to provide a better gallery experience, especially for event photos, I am now setting up a site on Smugmug, https://richardman.smugmug.com.

I am using mostly Smugmug default, and printing should be enabled, but if you see anything wonky, let me know at richard@richardman.photo

Because of the Pandemic, I hadn’t been able to find time or the subjects to photograph for this project. Hopefully this will be a good restart.
… and with flash! Look at this beauty. An 8×10 barrel “Gundlach” single meniscus lens on a Gibellini AG810 with Sinar Copal shutter and modern (Godox) flash. Works great. I 3-d printed the lens adapter board. As long as the lens is not super heavy ( > 3 lbs) and the back cells are not too deep, the setup works great.
Stir crazy and did some calligraphy on Sat and then went out to take photos on Sunday. These are the best ones….
