I think I know the answer to this question, but...
When I am making images like this one, the sun literally burns into the gelatin of the paper or film. Since the image circle of the lens is larger than the film, is the rest of the image being projected on the bellows? If I use a lens with 8x10 coverage on a 4x5 camera, wouldn't a big portion of the bellows be covered by an image?
As a side note, wouldn't that (using a lens with a larger image circle) cause a loss of contrast in normal photography? Surely all of the light can not be (absorbed?) by the black bellows?
Thank you.
Oh, C&C on the image is welcome.
