Large Format Landscapes

Drink a little wine, shoot some 4x5, watch some football. Sounds perfect. Unfortunately, I promised the kids I would take them to Denmark, of all places...

Next time...

As Mr. AA said, it is safer to shoot handheld 2 f-stops above the focal distance of the lens (for 35mm format). This lens is equivalent to a 12mm in 35mm format so, the "safe" shutter speed for handheld shooting would be 1/60s, according to Ansel's statement. That allows me to shoot safelly with yellow and even orange filter and, probably even with a 25A red filter, as long as I keep the lens at f11.
However, I didn't make any handheld photo with it, yet!

Nana,

Thanks for the information. That 47mm lens is out of my price range, but I may be able to get a 65mm for a reasonable price. It may not have the same DOF or AOV, but I believe I will make my own P&S some day!

Nice photos.

Much as I would like to visit and see the saintly Steven Gerrard lift the World Cup, unfortunately I haven't got the money.

However, I hope it all goes really well for the hosts, and that England win it.

(Still, so long as we slaughter the USA in the group stages, I guess that will be something.)

Nice work guys, Nana, you are making great results with your home made hand held.

Very nice. I really like the composition around the three distinct tonal ranges.

The clouds eluded me today but saw this newly planted vineyard w/mustard on the way home.
