I have to take them as they come displayed, this is parked on grass in daylight, mid-morning, Palo Alto Concours.
Here's a Cadillac.

Hi Ted,
I'm also looking for that amateur timeless feel in my new work - I am in love with that style. Personally, a pretty picture sometimes is easier to get than that raw purist photograph. Check out Nan Goldin's work. I think she'll inspire you as much as she's inspired me. In my opinion she's the queen of that style you're looking for. As for a nice colour stock I like Fuji Superia 200 or 400. The film is a cheap consumer stock but to me bears an old look. It's hard to explain... but you should see the "cool blue" and soothing skin tone results you get from that stock. And with a little PS or print manipulation, I think you'll be able to acheive that look you are seeking.
Stephen

Thanks, Stephen; I shot these all at arms length just wading in the water with the kids playing. This was done with an old goofy 120 camera, the only controls are f11 or f8, hence the 50 speed film. I'm guesing from the results the shutter must be a 60th. The photo store has some Hungarian 25asa I'm going to try, and some Velvia. I'm after an amateur, timeless feel. Tough to put any filters on these old things. I got some NeoPan on someone else's recommemdation, will try sometime. Know of any 50 speed color neg?

Love this picture and love even more you're a Ilford PanF 50 fan... That is some of the best B&W stock I've used. Actually, I only use two now. NeoPan 1600 and Ilford PanF 50. Two awesome stocks with great contrast. Both work wonders with a red filter.

"Is that a sebia toned b&w paper or the film itself is a c-41 t-max that is printed to a color paper?"

Sorry, I guess my comments didn't make it through.
The model was nude, but in this image nothing offensive was showing so I called it a portrait.
I think if there is nothing visible that you wouldn't see on a public beach, its fair game for this site. They don't want nudes and I respect that, but if nothing is showing post away.

I think this is a very good one. It really has the Holga signature too. Especially the fuziness around the edges really fits. (what is that called again, aberrations ?)

A Holga is the best $20 investment a photographer can make. It is also a lesson in pure composition cause you sure can't do much else with it but compose. I am impressed with this image. Nicely done.

Definitely an inspiration, you definitely nailed down a dreamy/hazy vision here. True you could make it mushier but then you're just into obvious soft filter sears photo territory, a perfect level of blur and focus meets up here - superb~

The wings are too sharp and slightly too high up.The blurry texturing in the top right corner is distracting.I like the general tone of the background but I think the model herself should be much softer to create some kind of atmosphere- this is a photo of a fairy after all.If you've read Peter Pan you'llknow that an image like this could have a devestating effect on the fairy population!

Thanks.
Gorgeous models? You hire them!
No, I work with a mix of ordinary people and models, depending on my financial state at the time. There are a number of bulletin boards on the web where you can contact fine-art models; once you're in the loop they're pretty easy to find and work with. Treat them with respect and pay them fairly, its usually worth every penny: better work much more efficiently because they know exactly what to do, but ordinary people are fun too.

Very nice Ted. As usual. Nice redition of a Jock Sturges image of Misty Dawn when she was young. I love the tones here and the unique texturing around the top and along the bottom is cool too. And where do you find these gorgeous models?
