Past Imperfect #3
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 21.3cm X 16.4cm, from a 4x5 Tri-X Pan Professional negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a 150mm f4 Wollaston Meniscus soft-focus lens and a #25 red filter. Titled and signed recto, stamped and annotated verso.
My photographer friend died after a long long illness and some of his equipment passed into my hands. There were many film holders that he had loaded with Tri-X fifteen years previously but could not expose. The film had corroded through the passage of years but I took it to those places we had walked with our cameras in times gone by. This Past Imperfect exposure is of a style he would have appreciated.

Yours, Leonard

I've been playing with my Imagon 200mm.
@ F8 3 sec on 20 year out of date tri x, Shen Hoa 4x5 camera.
This second image shot a few minutes apart show the scene different focal length. While a bit of a give away I find it enjoyable to see how the soft focus renders the scene and enjoy the different emotional response I get from it.
It's been fun finding a voice with this lens. I'm slowly starying to find a rendering I like.
