I am interested in the light source used.

Is that a battery powered 60x60 panel?

Thanks!
I have read good things about MF Pentax and Minolta indeed. And Canon as well. Time will tell, I am not in serious need and can resist GAS quite well actually. I still want to play more with my Helios 44-2, fun to use (and quite interesting for portrait) but I find it hard to focus well. And there is no good reason for that: the travel is quite long and smooth. I need to exercise more!

Thank you Dave, I will.

For those who read French (everyone, I'm sure...), Robin's poem/calligram is now featured on the website of the musée Daubigny in Auvers sur Oise. It is also exposed at the museum. This is getting out of hand!
He used Photoshop to put the text on the picture.

Brilliant, both the story as well as the portrait.

Very nice photo on many levels. I can also see the proud father in there, too. A wonderful day for all, I'm sure.

Your lighting gadget looks like a great tool. Tell us more.

Bob, I have a hard time hiding my pride indeed... Not even trying actually!
The lighting gadget was described here: http://nikongear.net/revival/index.php/topic,4646.msg73255.html#msg73255
Please ask any question. I don't know much about it but am quite satisfied with the output. Continuous lighing is a blessing vs flash in the semi darkness!

Jacques: merci. Robin is now writing a poetry book, one text for each Greak god. I am learning a lot from this!

Enjoy the new year!
Olivier
