Some of my favorite things........5" No Name Petzval on 4X5

As you have had surprisingly little reaction to this post, I'll just add a "Well done!"

I especially like the 3rd picture. The out of focus coke bottle and risegrass is just fascinating!

Thanks!

Nice, but they are a little out of focus. Probably could fix in Photoshop.

-^- LOL! Really like these Jim. I was just in Tonopah before Thanksgiving, did the Tonopah, Goldfield, Rhyolite route to Death Valley. The third one and the train are my favorites. I love these types of shots. Inspiring.

I was so pleased with this little project as the snow blew sideways most of Saturday, that I created a page of images.

Caution:

You are about to enter the world of soft and/or selective focus. If you hate that stuff, simply avoid. If not, have fun and let me know what you like.

These were made with a small non-descript 5" lantern petzval of ancient and simple nature. Yes, it'll turn up in the classifieds later today. Or not. I'm still wavering.

Those are very sweet Jim.
