post your trees!

This is my first ever 4x5 attempt, a Birch tree in some morning sidelight. I'm using some 6 year old film and developer I got with the camera and wanted to see if it was still good. I knew the developer would be ok, but wasn't sure about the film. I also just wanted to see if I could manage to expose a sheet of film and develop it without screwing it up. I don't have a scanner so I used my Panasonic S1 and a light pad. I don't have a good setup yet so I couldn't keep the film perfectly flat so the edges are a bit soft.

That’s a beauty!

Made with the B&J Watson 5x7 and a Voigtlander Petzval lens. Approx. 1/2 second exposure (cap off, cap on) on expired FP4, processed in PMK Pyro.
To make this photograph, I am in the Marys River up to my armpits. This is the lowest the river level drops to at late summer. It amazes me to think that many trees along the bank of the Marys are submerged in water 20 feet deeper than this for 1/3 of the year.

This shot didn't work in b&w, but I like it in color. Cropped to 2:3.

I had a pretty good idea whose image this was before I saw the name. I'm not always a fan of the look from those old lenses, but it serves this image quite well. I'd put that on my wall.

Thank you Gregg.
I don't always choose the Petzval lenses for what I do - it is a look that has to be used purposefully. In this instance, I wanted to use those optical traits to isolate the feature I thought was most worth attention. As you say, it serves this image well. And thanks.

I used my B&J Watson 5x7 camera and Ilford's FP4 (expired in 2008), processed in PMK Pyro. Exposure notes: 4.5 minutes at f22, using the 203mm Ektar lens.

Excellent shot. The water must have been remarkably calm to give such clean reflections at that exposure time.
