These boxer heads were made in available light at about 1/4 at F 11, 11.5 I found that if I shot them at 1/2 second I would get unacceptable movement much more often. In the future I must keep that shutter speed at 1/4 or faster unless I have no choice. Shooting in available light with a reflector was fun, the light can be so beautiful, I understand why Jock Sturges, Sally Man and others love shooting large format this way. I need to move up to a 5x7 then make 8x10 portraits in available light. I wonder what shooting portraits in available light with a 11x14 camera would be like? Kenro Izu does portraits with a 14x20 camera so 11x14 available lights should be possible, then I could contact print them using some old paper process (platinum prints?), that would be sweet.
