Very neat Gourd flower, Curious what you used for the backdrop? outside?
Nature is wonderful.

Weird, but really cool!

This morning I went with my wide and parents to a sunflower field, a new fall tradition we started last year. It's nice to get out early with the nice cool weather starting to hit. My Linhof has been sitting fallow too long so I popped my 15cm APO Lanthar and shot some handheld stuff just for fun. Here's one shot that worked out well.

The backdrop is a hand-painted muslin backdrop, designed specifically for studio photography. I forget the brand name, but it was inexpensive: $60 from Amazon.

Really old thread, but still a "goody". Can't believe I never replied to it.

I miss Type 52 the most. It did such a nice job with delicate high values.
