Prosper's final beet harvest he told me, too hard at his age of 84. I was amazed to see how he ripped them out of the dry soil with his hands.

Playing a little with an anamorphic lens... (pol 665)

What anamorphic lens did you used? I want to try anamorphic in 4x5.
For what I read I can use the anamorphic element of some projector lenses on top of a normal 4x5 lens.

Yes, this is from 2 weeks ago, but I developed this neg tonight. Delta 100, 8X10 Imagon 360, holes open 7.7, Packard shutter. Scanned in color Straight out the scanner. No PS. This is perhaps the best of the 10 negs shot. 18 min gas burst Rodinol 1/100.

I will concentrate on enlarging it soon.

Please comment freely. I forgot to add this was inspired by Josephine Baker.

Randy, I agree this is the best from (I think?) the 3 images you posted. Personally I think this is so due to her expression, the composition (centered and not off to the side as in the other 2 images from Sept.) and due to being a bit backed out and less "claustrophobic" as in the others, giving her outfit a bit more space and interest. Just my opinion of course - and all three of these reasons have of course nothing to do with the lens used or whatnot but I do like the softness and glow here as presented. Good stuff.

Also I haven't commented lately but I thought I'd mention that jp's images from a couple pages ago were, as usual, phenomenal, and I also liked the forced DOF from voltrader66's image of the two musicians.

D-Tach, I am half the age of that fit-looking man, and I guess my back would be long gone if I pulled all those bits out of the ground myself... Very fine image!
Randy, very nice and silky smooth!

This is Una through a not-often-used Heliar 360/4.5 (not everyone has the baby skin of a 12 year old).

I also like this one the most - she looks very at ease

Thanks Stephane, I like that Heliar look - is it in a shutter? Seems like 8x10 is calling...

[Stephane]

None of my lenses are in shutter, less problem and less weight...
