Thanks, Clay. I forced myself to finish a roll that had been sitting in the camera for over six months in the space of an hour around the house and yard. It made for some fast, sloppy shooting--the opposite of my LF stuff--but it got me out of my comfort zone which is a good thing. Here are a few more from the same session:

Jonathan that must be some rig you have going there to mount that lens with swings and tilts on your FTb.

Nice image Scott to bad these phone sensors don't have the dynamic range of a 5D.

No rig; I just hold the lens in front of the camera. The swings and tilts aren't on purpose entirely, but there's no way I can handhold the lens perfectly parallel to the film plane so I just go with it. I guess I'm embracing my inner Keith Carter with this method.

so how do you get it light tight?

Oh, it's not. I do my best to press my hand/palm against the camera to create a kind of seal, but many of the shots are spoiled by flare or stray light that gets in. I try to embrace the serendipity of the whole thing. It's roll film, after all. If I lose 10 out of 36 shots, who's counting?
