Not entirely happy with this one, the composition is what I wanted, the diagonal line of cloud matching the tree line is very satisfying. But in the rush to capture the setting moon it seems I missed focus by a wee bit. Also a red rather than orange filter may have been better, I've burned in the sky and the foreground for tone, it was too flat, but maybe I could bring out the lines in the wheatfield a bit more.

Since I have a similar camera this made me think a bit on setup. I would think having scribe marks on the bed for infinity positions for each lens without movements would make setup faster and more precise, especially for those quick get it before it gets away type shots.
Could be made with a stickon strip so as to keep from marring the expensive wood on the camera.

I like the idea Gary, residue-free stick-on to preserve that lovely wood finish

I use pencil marks on my Ebony - yes you can see them but they don't stand out and of course you can rub them off if you feel the need.

I bought my Ebony off a guy who had it in a box since the 90s, it's mint and was unused until recently! So too scared to mark with pencil!

Thanks, though I think I'd prefer more detailed critique of my photography than of my English usage.

Well done, Bryan.

Thanks Philip. I'm excited to develop the color film from this area with all the green duckweed...but that'll have to be tomorrow :).
