Focus point was "f/22 and be there". The lens is on a helical and I have a marking for the focus point, as well as a little thing that attaches around the lens board and has the focus markings. But I hardly use it. Straight "up" is infinity, 45 degrees around the helical and stopped down to f/22 is "everything is in focus." If I have some really close-up stuff foreground I might go to 90 degrees. I had a loupe in my bag but didn't use it.
Beautiful.

Very nice--I think your holding on to the far horizon, especially, makes the shot.Focus point was "f/22 and be there"
Developed some film left over from winter. March 2018, Owls Head Maine.
7.25" verito, speed graphic, tmy2 in pyrocat hdc.
woods and branches composition on Ash Island, off Owls Head. The photograph is largely possible because I have used this lens a great deal and know how the background is going to work. Ground glass tells some, experience tells some. I have some of my characteristic layering of woods scenes with foreground, mid-range, and background all visible to some extent and having their place in the design of the photo. Silhouttes, downed trees and branches supply tone differences and composition. Sun was behind a cloud, so it's subdued and buttery soft, rather than radiant glowing.

There's a lot going on in that photo, Jason. I like.
