    Cowboy Wedding 8X10 style with some full plate thrown in...

    The Kilgore's didn't know what they were getting themselves in for when they asked my daughter Tina to photograph their daughter's wedding.

    BTW, my showing off aside, Tina did a damn fine job of the color stuff. I was just having some fun, and good wine, and red meat

    Terrific work Jim. I have a couple of questions. 1) How did you reduce the shadow under the bride's father's hat? 2) The circle of sharpness in the bride/groom circle seems larger than I would expect. What was the focal length of the lens, an how much was it stopped down?

    1) How did you reduce the shadow under the bride's father's hat? I was probably helped some by smoke. Forest fires have made the light somewhat diffused. Add to that 6 air glass interfaces at about 4% each uncoated and it is less of a problem than with a modern lens.

    2) The circle of sharpness in the bride/groom circle seems larger than I would expect. What was the focal length of the lens, an how much was it stopped down? The Darlot is about 13 inch f4 focused perhaps 6-8 feet away. It was wide open.

    Beautiful, just beautiful Jim. You really captured the emotion in the Bride's father's face.
