Victorian family portrait

For the childhood nightmare theme. I was showing the kids the actual online versions of this shot. Boy thought it was creepy.

Oo, now you must do a Victorian headless portrait!

[Maggie]

It is creepy - well done.

@louuncouth I might just accept that challenge.

[Cally]

He doesn't look too enamoured!

[Spanner]

@thistle thank you
@callymazoo it really s not the best portrait of him. Thanks for taking a look and commenting.

[Cally]

@spanner Lol I hope you did not take offence. My son would look equally solemn if someone was dressed up unnaturally behind him! In fact to get my son to smile for any photo Is a miracle; I have to catch him unawares. I like your boys will be boys series too.

I spent last weekend on a course learning how to create Wet Plate images - http://365project.org/jocasta/365/2014-06-30
Your digital wet plate effect is really fantastic and the serious expression perfect.

@jocasta I saw that you have been on a wet plate course. Did you get any usable images? It looks like fun.

[Nefrit]

I find this eerily fascinating. A fav.

@spanner Usable? Yes - one on glass and one on tin (aluminium). Brilliant learning photography of the 1850s.
