Petzval Picture Post Thread

[Don7x17]

Aha! Jim's been misleading us, telling us he gets those old lenses from "little green men". Well, Jim, you've been caught driving the old Ford through a wormhole back in time to get them. I suspected as much all along!
!

So this means that he is displacing them from their otherwise current owners by diverting them earlier in their time path.....anyone have lenses suddenly gone missing? ;-) ... actually according to all the science fiction books, you'd never have had them so you'd only have a vague sense of loss....


Outstanding pictures, Jim.

Love this one! Awesome shot! Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can go out and try my cones. You guys in the west have a bigger edge there:-)

found an older negative - made a cyanotype...

Ancient Ross Petzval made the flowers of the jasmine look a little like wings...

..or maybe she actually has wings...

lovely cyanotype!!

Dave, the 3D look of your shot is amazing, something the old advertisements often spoke about with petzvals as "roundness" I suppose.
