First shot taken with a Rodenstock Trinar 4.5/105 wide open. Second shot with no name Doppel-Anastigmat 5.6/150. Both shot on TMY developed in Pyrocat-HD and printed on 5x7 Polycontrast III. Subject is a rusted cog found along the road while walking, sitting atop an inverted tin can painted medium gray..

(Looks like an iron flower blossom – a solution for breezy days.)
I posted this cactus in a thread about the “golden ratio,” but it should be able to grow, thrive, and keep spiraling here, too.
The thorny subject is a good argument for a protection filter!
The set-up was fun, but painful:
Tachi 4x5
Schneider 150mm/9 G-Claron
Velvia-50 (refrigerated old version)
1/250th @ f/22 (effective approx. f/32)
Ries J-600 tripod w/ Manfrotto 488rc2 ball head
Manfrotto 454 micrometric sliding plate (w/ rc2 connection)
Somewhere near 1:2 magnification, maybe higher
Synced w/ ancient Nikon SB-22s speedlight (hand-held)
Flash metered w/ Sekonic 308s
+1 ev flash compensation for snow-white fibers
And finally (pant), Epson 4990/Epson scan

Here is a silver dollar from 1889 at roughly 3:1 magnification.
Schneider G-Claron at f/16, 5.5 seconds.
The left side is very slightly OOF due to misalignment. I need to redo this, I'm thinking about doing a small series on coins from before 1900.
I replaced that file with a new shot I took today that was much better in focus. So ignore my rambling. This time it was a 1-second exposure in much brighter sidelight with divided pyrocat for the developer.
Much better. It's a beautiful coin.
