On a close note, I usually expose Fomapan 100 @ EI 64, but recently, on quite a lot of my images I intentionally overexpose them by 1 EV, and a little shorter development is used (though I have reached my times by guess-work)... So it might be also something like @ EI 50 in reality...

Thanks a lot for the point

2 great images, Leon. The second one is much better on the last version.

We call this a "clave de sol", in portuguese. Clave=clef (Clef is a french word wich means key), de=of, sol=G (musical note).

Actually, calling it the treble clef is appropriate only when the curly marking wraps around the second line of the staff. The general term in English is "G clef", which is an exact translation of clave de sol. We wouldn't want to confuse the treble clef with the French violin clef, now would we?

On the subject of your photos, I have GOT to make a point-n-shoot camera for my spare 65/8 Super Angulon. It must be somewhat liberating to have a camera that does the one thing you want to do really easily. I see you spending very little time fiddling with the camera to make photos that seem so undistracted.

Thank you for the explanation, Rick.

As to the camera, I think there is someone here who made a P&S camera with a SA 65/8, I don't remember who nut, you should check it on the thread called "Show us your home made camera. I sarted that thread, I think. I got some good ideas from there. You can find some nice home made cameras here, too:

My camera is really fast to operate, it fixed focus ans has an external viewfinder, wich is very fast to compose. Sometimes, I run between waves, put the tripod, compose, shoot and run back just in time to keep dry. I couldn't do that if I had to look by the GG and confirm focus with a lupe.

Thanks for the link--I remember that thread well. I keep that 65/8 lens just for such a project, but I keep getting distracted.

I know a Brazilian who lives in Sao Paulo who built a 4x5 box camera using the 47XL. He used a helical bought off ebay. I bought my 47/5.6 from him--I use that as my ultrawide for 6x12. Come to think of it, an ultrawide 6x12 point-n-shoot would be even easier, and I have a spare Shen-Hao roll-film holder. Hmmmm.

A tree at dusk in dense fog. I used a Linhof Technika and an apo symmar L 120mm lens at f/16, exposed for 1 second, TMax 400 rated at 260 iso. Cropped and postprocessed in Lightroom.

Intriguing composition, Frank.

Wonderful shots everyone.
Nana, Leon, really had to check several times your photos. Great work!
