[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello friends:)
I promise yesterday that I'll let you know with who I spent fantastic time in Bloomington, Indiana...
there you go... this is Izabela in action. Very talented photographer, very nice and warm and susceptible person as well as her husband Daniel - lovely couple!!! - so new friendship is born and I'm so appreciated for their hospitality. Thank you so much and this picture is for you Izabela and Daniel:)))

I would strongly recommend you to check her gallery Mirra78 - that is her user name. I try to make a link but again I forget how to do it:((((((((((((
Tomorrow her portrait in full colour.
________________________________________________________
About this picture: portrait of Izabela done in sepia as tribute to our passion which is photography and long history of it.
The word "photography" comes from the French photographie which is based on the Greek words φως phos ("light"), and γραφίς graphis ("stylus", "paintbrush") or γραφή graphê ("representation by means of lines" or "drawing"), together meaning "drawing with light." Traditionally, the product of photography has been called a photograph, commonly shortened to photo._________________________________________________________
Photography is the result of combining several technical discoveries. Long before the first photographs were made, Ibn al-Haytham (Alhazen) (965–1040) invented the camera obscura and pinhole camera, Albertus Magnus (1139-1238) discovered silver nitrate, and Georges Fabricius (1516-1571) discovered silver chloride. Daniel Barbaro described a diaphragm in 1568. Wilhelm Homberg described how light darkened some chemicals (photochemical effect) in 1694. The fiction book Giphantie (by the French Thiphaigne de La Roche, 1729-1774) described what can be interpreted as photography.

Photography as a usable process goes back to the 1820s with the development of chemical photography. The first permanent photograph was an image produced in 1826 by the French inventor Nicéphore Niépce. However, the picture took eight hours to expose, so he went about trying to find a new process. Working in conjunction with Louis Daguerre, they experimented with silver compounds based on a Johann Heinrich Schultz discovery in 1724 that a silver and chalk mixture darkens when exposed to light. Niépce died in 1833, but Daguerre continued the work, eventually culminating with the development of the daguerreotype in 1839.

Meanwhile, Hercules Florence had already created a very similar process in 1832, naming it Photographie, and William Fox Talbot had earlier discovered another means to fix a silver process image but had kept it secret. After reading about Daguerre's invention, Talbot refined his process so that it might be fast enough to take photographs of people. By 1840, Talbot had invented the calotype process, which creates negative images. John Herschel made many contributions to the new methods. He invented the cyanotype process, now familiar as the "blueprint". He was the first to use the terms "photography", "negative" and "positive". He discovered sodium thiosulphate solution to be a solvent of silver halides in 1819, and informed Talbot and Daguerre of his discovery in 1839 that it could be used to "fix" pictures and make them permanent. He made the first glass negative in late 1839.

In 1851, Frederick Scott Archer published his findings in "The Chemist" on the wet plate Collodion process. This became the most widely used process between 1852 and the late 1880s when the dry plate was introduced. There are three subsets to the Collodion process; the Ambrotype (positive image on glass), the Ferrotype or Tintype (positive image on metal) and the negative which was printed on Albumen or Salt paper.

Many advances in photographic glass plates and printing were made in through the nineteenth century. In 1884, George Eastman developed the technology of film to replace photographic plates, leading to the technology used by film cameras today.

Witaj Tomeczku! Widze wspaniala "maszyne" i osobe, ktora napewno bardzo lubi to co robi! Bardzo ladny portret ciekawej kobiety, a sepia dodala tajemniczosci! Gratuluje Ci nowych przyjaciol, a Izie i Danielowi nowego przyjaciela - Ciebie! Gratuluje zdjecia, ktore jest wspaniale pod kazdym wzgledem. Caluski BM

Witaj Tomku,
fajny portret. Spokojny i intensywny zarazem. Chwila takiego skupienia ze prawie widac potok mysli.
Podzielam zdanie ze u Izy w galerii mozna znalezc zdjecia ktore nie ustepuja niczyim. Gratuluje tez Twojej :-)
pozdrawiam,
szablak

Very nice image here. Nice composition and balance. The sepia is an excellent touch.

Nicely composed and well delivered. Metering here is spot-on and the sepia treatment, in my view, works very well.

Witaj Tomku
Ładnie zaprezenowałeś Izę na tym zdjeciu. Dzięki notatce wiemy trochę więcej. Miło mi Izę poznać. Do Twojego zdjecia zrobiłam WS. Myśle, ze bez dużej białej plamy z tyłu głowy jest moze lepiej.
Pozdrawiam
Ania

Czesc Tomku.

Good shot Tomasz, the sepia tones work well. Nice composition, good sharpness and good DoF.
Cheers, John.

Hi Bro

Great portrait in action! I enjoy the fact that the sepia apply don't hide at all the quality of the light in that scene. Hairs and fingers show that the sun was strong! We had so much good sun these last times!

Kolezanka w akcji, swietny pomysl!

swietne zdjecie portretowe, milo ze przyjaznie na TL sie rozwijaja!pozdrowienia~!

Hello Tomasz,

Witaj Tomku!

pozdrawiam goraco!

Czesc Tomku,

Piekna foteczka.
A great side-portrait of one of our TrekLensers in action.
Good pose for this shot.
WS done by limba3 brings less "whiteness" to the photo by cutting the back.

What I've done is a little experiment with your shot, by changing it to B&W and adding a lot more contrast and reducing brightness. Your sepia is very good, but too bright to my eye. I guess it's a personal preference.

Well done and TFS.
Tomek

Cześć Tomek!
Moja Agnieszka też tak trzyma aparat!Znam jeszcze ze dwie babeczki z takim uchwytem.A potem muszę przekręcać zdjęcia w drugą stronę!A co robiłeś w Bloomington?No w sumie w Stanach kilkaset mil w jedną czy drugą stronę nie robi większej różnicy.
Niezłe zdjęcie namierzającego cel fotografa.Dobry pomysł na sepię.
Pozdrawiam.
Cezar

Witaj Tomku :)
Na pocz±tku mojej przygody z fotografia tak samo trzymalam obiektyw jak Twoja modelka :) Dopiero pozniej zaczelam cenic stabilniejsza opcje.

Iza - do twarzy Ci z aparatem :)
Pozdrawiam

Hi my friend,

Beautiful moment captured on other photographers. I love what you did with the tone.

Hi Tomasz,
Great portrait and the B&W sepia tone is well chosen. The pose is perfect, the tension of the photographer is well presented. I'm only wondering about how she is adjusting the lens...she's using the inverted installed sun cap ?! :-)
