The grinder is a nice image, but the window is in a class of its own. Like it a lot!

This is an old image from 2007 I found today that was lurking in a film box I almost delegated to the round file--imagine that.

This is nice, Preston. I might rotate the image CW about 0.5 or 0.6 ? Nice lines and textures throughout.

Memorial Church.

This was with a Bender 8x10 camera, and a Fuji Fujinon-W 210mm lens. Orange filter. Kodak TMAX Y. I shot it at ASA 300 -- I was guessing (I didn't test it).

It's a pretty interesting image to me. It was the first picture I took with this lens on this camera. And I notice the exposure is to my liking: I put the larger sunlit areas of the facade on Zone VII, and that left room for the more direct light on the round columns. I don't think it's blocked, but I'm not sure. I didn't make this print; it's a proof from the lab. I might go back and take it again, and use a yellow filter for a lighter sky and less harshness overall.

I've got vignetting at the top. The lens will cover 8x10, but without much movement. It was pretty hard to tell just by casually looking at the ground glass whether those corners were vignetted. I should have been more suspicious and careful. There is also vignetting at the bottom. I'm not sure but I think that is from the barn doors on the filter holder. A lot of potential pitfalls.

I got there about 7:30am, and there was a Chinese tour group enjoying the scene. Then they left; I took a picture from a different angle, and then moved to set this one up. Then another Chinese tour group arrived, and they were there for about 20 minutes. I waited and they left. Just as I was ready to take the picture a jet flew over and left a contrail. I waited. Then another jet flew over and left another contrail. They dissipated somewhat but not completely. This picture was probably taken around 9am. I wasn't taking good field notes.
