Here's two photos I did the day after Christmas with two different lenses. 4x5 tmy2 in pmk, speed graphic.
The first is a trioplan 210 at 5.6-8ish. crisp separation between sharp foreground and soft background.
Second is the same scene with the Reinhold wollaston meniscus 190 at f8. Cropped a little because of the shorter focal length. A yummy fuzziness and different sort of DOF.
Me, no preference for either image, just kinda fun to have both.
No, guilty as charged. That is an older print. Printed on Ilford Gallerie, probably grade 3 and developed in Dektol 1:3.
I do admit it would be fun to dive back into silver gelatin printing, but little precious time for printing in carbon and in platinum as it is! I took my three 14 year old boys into the darkroom this past week and had them printing a few of my old MF negatives. Fun stuff!
I did get the 8x10 out today and I photographed some redwoods (with a few alders, maples, Douglas firs, hemlocks and assorted berries sneaking into the scene!). The last image was an hour exposure (f64, 125 ASA)...it is getting dark early!
