Just beautiful Ken, and it's not just merit of the Heliar.
Here's one...

I just started LF after a very long break. Critique would be appreciated.

I hope that a simple cactus will do...
5x7 Efke 25, taken with one of Jim Galli's monstrous lenses (Bausch&Lomb? Extra RR wide open).
Wonderful. It's hard to give a critique on a single image like this because there are so many possible aspects that might or might not relate to other photographs you might want to make in the series. But I love the overall feel, and the many hooks for the imagination.Quote:

This image is getting pretty old, but it's still one of my favorites; I love the composition. 8 3/4" Verito at f/6-point something, T-Max 100, Pd, hot developer, coaching by Kerik.
Another one. 210mm Nikkor-W. Polaroid type 52 (lovely medium).
That's really nice Will, great composition and lighting. I really like the shadow play on the right surface.
Couldn't resist...two more
This is exceptional Kerik!Quote:

Alone, this makes it worthwhile for me to visit this forum!
One leaf, like an arm, seems to gracefully hold on to the vase!
What is the shading on the paper?
Is the surface flat or gloss?
Kind wishes,
Asher

Miguel,
Those are beautiful. Did you really hand color the second one or is it a PS thing? Very nice.
Renee,
Are they going to name that flower "Galang"?:) Indded, I have never seen that.
Ken,
I can just tell it is made with a Heliar. You seem to have ton of fun with your Helier lenses.:) Beautiful!
Linhof Technika, Nikkor-W 135

Obviously not a patch on the others shown :o

Sinar P. Voiglander Heliar 210. Tmax 100. Xtol 1+1
Yes, before shooting with the Heliars and the Tessars, I sensed that something was missing, but I didn't know what it was. The same with film and developers, until TMY + PyroCat. And with cameras, until I got a Sinar.Quote:

Part of a new series I am working on. Still working out lighting issues.
I wish I could image my new species with 4x5, but, alas, have to use a modern VP SEM for it. No more polaroid sandwiches, but from little bits to little bits. At least in VP, I do use tertiary photons (generated by secondary electrons-air interaction) for imaging.Quote:

The bellows was probably out to 26 28 inches with the 12 inch lens. You will get nearly identical look with similar subject matter and your Cooke. I was wide open at f4. The Cooke begins at f5.6 iirc.Quote:

But it seems I sold it to the right person, the image is beautiful.
Have fun with that little pearl.
Thank you Domenico (and Jim), I appreciate your comments. :) This lens is a little gem indeed, I'll try to make it sing.Quote:
