All of these image were made while I was visiting the Ringling Museum in Sarasota, Florida just before Christmas. Such a beautiful place. I was wishing for my LF set-up as the Banyan trees were just beautiful. But, for now, this will have to do.
I was walking down one of the outdoor hallways and looked up to see the light passing over the curves of the ceiling. It reminded me of the way light passes over sand dunes so I had to make a photograph...

I've been doing a bit more MF lately than LF. It's because I'm sneaking them in during the workday rather than quality photo time.
Old barn on Route 220 Washington Maine. Rolleiflex automat tessar, tmy2 film in pyrocat hd. Avoided major need for tilt/shift by not centering or putting down low in the frame the structure. Wouldn't have minded a crispy 4x5, but I only had soft focus lenses or a 203mm optar in the truck and needed something a little wider.

I like the second one very much. Quite often I think a little "natural" perspective is helpful to avoid completely flattening the image, and in this case the low angle and slight upward convergence of vertical lines are pluses not minuses. I am guilty of often trying to use camera movements simply because I can, but there are times when they can detract rather than add to an image. Knowing when to refrain is not always easy--unless you use a camera devoid of them, of course.
