    One of my first photographs with 4x5 film

    One of my first ideas for an image on 4x5 film came when messing around with my brother. Just for laughs, I extended the bellows out all the way, but it turns out the lens could focus very, very close! I was able to attach a ring light to the lens, and, after a patient brother, captured this image:

    I think next time I will increase my aperture from f/16 (or f/11, I can't remember) to f/32+ to get a bit more depth of field as I am still learning the nuances of 4x5. And I'll check my film holder for light leaks

    Do you feel B&W fits this style well? How would color film affect the feel of this and images to you? Any thoughts on composition improvement?

    Not bad, looks like some inadvertent swing was introduced. f/16 at that distance should be plenty. What was focal length?
