Flowers Anyone?

[stefan d]

Hallo Ken, hallo Russ,
thanks for your nice comments. The print is not cropped. I don´t like the black edge very much. I picked up the lens from ebay with a howl old studio camera. There was no hint to the lens and so it was quite cheap.
All the best from Berlin

Another shallow DoF experiment, testing a 90/6.8 Angulon on 4x5, close up and wide open.

I'm glad I found this thread - many lovely images here.

I've been playing with some expired Polaroid T57, working with the "goop" side after exposure. Here's an example.

I shot this in my basement studio. Plucked a clover blossem and put it in a glass of water and played with the Calumet 45NX. Probably Ektapan but I don't really remember.

My first successful Polaroid 809 (8x10) shot. Only screwed up twice to get here...

Senica Improved View camera (8x10), Leclair 13" brass lens w/ f32 waterhouse stop & Packard shutter. About 20" extension and hoping for 1/3 second on the shutter. A bit over exposed so I suppose maybe more like 1/2 to 3/4 seconds?

Cheap HP scanner did a little auto-color jiggery pokery on the image but not that far off.

Don -

I'm Rob Young. Russ and I have this same problem here, on Apug and I think at f295.org too...

Rob, Russ, Ralph, Barry and I think there is a second Rob or "Bob" floating around when you combine LF, APUG, f295 and photo.net... So far as I know, we aren't related.

It happens at the local photography club too because there is a Caroline Young in town, does some very nice floral and greenery landscape stuff. No relation either but I DO have a first cousin named Caroline Young (forget her married name). And there was another Robert Young in Lawrence who besides being a deadbeat (I got his collection calls for a while) was also sought by the local D.A.'s office as a material witness to something bad. That was an interesting conversation...
