I've heard it's insane to take children's pictures with a large format camera. Sounds like a challenge to me!
Strobist info: SB-28 in a shoot through umbrella, camera right, with the umbrella choked up to have some fall-off. Sunpak 333 in a cardboard snoot, camera left, as hair light. V-Card reflector made from 1.5" insulation foam, camera left (in front of subjects), for fill. Ebay triggers.
Flash sync on the shutter (see below) was of the archaic two-prong variety, and I didn't have a converter. So I set the shutter to 'B', opened it, fired the strobes by hand using the radio remote, and then closed the shutter again.
The backdrop is a simple white sheet, hung up in front of curtains, which cover a sliding glass door. Ambient light was dim, but obviously not too dim...there is a lot of evidence of shutter dragging and ghosting in these shots. I liked that though, and ultimately went with these, rather than the fully-flash-synced medium format shots I also took.
Other info: Toyo-View C 4x5 camera, with Arista.edu Ultra ASA 100 film, developed in HC-110. Lens is a 6" Goerz Dagor. f/8. Homemade lens board, made out of wood.
These are actual silver-gelatin prints (Arista.edu Ultra fiber semi-matte paper, 8x10).
