Soft focus purists will probably scoff at the use of a humble Softar but I really like the effect... What lens?
I've tried a Softar fairly close up with a 300mm Nikkor-M here with a 52mm to B50 adapter. Technically it makes even less sense on 5x7. I'll have to try it at a greater distance now - thanks for posting this
Recently, I became engrossed while working under the dark cloth, on a composition in Alpine, Arizona. I’m methodical (i.e. slow) when making photographs with my 4x5 and did not notice the thunderstorm quickly forming over the nearby Escudilla Mountain. Before I could finish making my photograph, the skies opened up and I was running for cover.
BTW, an old fellow trying to run through tall meadow grass, with a large format camera on a tripod, takes on an inebriated Sasquatch-like quality.
Gratefully, a small 100+ year old barn was nearby and provided sanctuary. As I lamented the photograph “not made”, I noticed this scene in a dark corner. Soft light coming from a crack in the barn’s log wall helped illuminate these doors that framed an informal still life. An unexpected, and initially unwelcome, monsoon storm helped me discover a wonderful scene that would have otherwise eluded me. How can you not love serendipity.
