i took this picture this evening with a 210mm wollensak lens with no shutter, first time ever tried that, the exposure was f45 at 8 sec on 4x5. i had no stop watch (forgot it at home) it was about 7:30 so i knew i could get a long exposure, i just wanted to get an image of something and try out the lens, so i chose this little waterfall. i put the darkcloth over the lens then pulled the slide out, removed the cloth and started doing the one mississippi thing. my question is on these lenses is it normal to be sharp in the foreground and blurry in the back ground? i had the lens stopped all the way down, or is it that i overexposed? the negative was very dark. i might have went one mississippi to long or perhaps i didnt have it focused good. well thanks in advance.
