First fruits from a 150mm Hermagis Eidoscop!
Heavens that's a beautiful effect.
You have taught us that both razor sharp and lovely blur have their place. When both are present at the same time... each compliments the other.
all are 6x8 Wet plate collodions on aluminum. Shot with a 10x12 London Brass lens

Was this a 4.5 tessar wide open?

Matt: Great shots of the flowers. Middle one blows me away. Great tones and toning.
Bamboo roots: Portra 160VC 4x5, Schneider Symmar 210mm, Kardan Color 45s.

The lens opens to f/4.5, but this one was shot one or two stops down. Most of mine are like that: enough depth of field to contain the subject, and the rest to gradually dissolve.
In my experience, as we get in towards 1:1, using longer lenses, a few stops are required. Otherwise, we get just the edge of the potato chip, which hurts the eye. I like to have a bit of the chip too.
Once more, my "found still life" from last year. My wife spotted the scene, and I decided that a 1932 Zeiss Doppe-Amatar should be capable of doing it justice.
I'll have to send the slide away for scanning soon, she demands a BIG print for her office:
This thread sure took off today!
Okay, I'll add one that I like.
It's collodion on aluminum 8X10 and I liked the baseball on the sombrero.....
