Flowers Anyone?

[Raffay]

A couple from this morning. Both with a 90mm Fujinon SW on HP5+. Would like to hear feedback, thanks.

How did you get such a macro shot with a 90mm?

Last one of my freesias for the season, I promise

Beautiful, mind sharing the setup

Hi Raffay, I'm very much a beginner with 4x5, so others will be able to give better advice. For these shots, I used a Sinar P, and if I remember correctly, didn't have to use the extension rails to get the 1:1 (ish) macro. The lens positioned around 2x the infinity length (and adjust the exposure to compensate for the bellows extension. About 2 stops). BTW, I'll be looking to forward to some photos from Islamabad.

Thanks; it's HP5+ in Xtol (no dilution); I took it with an old Kodak Ektar lens (from back when Ektar was a lens brand, not a film brand). I used a beauty dish and a reflector.

That is very nice. Not a fan of textured paper usually but that just work perfectly.

Cheers,

Ken, Luc, thank you very much... I'm quite new in flower photography, but I think I should buy flowers for my wife more often..
