And a variation on the 2020 Trees theme I'm compiling:
Photograph made using the Voigtlander Petzval lens on my old B&J Watson 5x7 camera. Exposure was done manually by taking the lens cap off and back on: approx 1/2 second exposure on expired FP4 (2008), processed in PMK Pyro.
The Marys River is still at its seasonal low flow, so things move quite slowly in the river these days. So yes, the water was quite still when I made this photograph. Glad you like it, thanks!Originally Posted by Gabe

Excellent work--this one and Voigtlander #2 are my favorites so far...very much like the "quartering" approach, and the dappled light in the center of the frame is special indeed.
This is one I'll be studying a while--very impressive how you find a bit of order in an otherwise busy scene!
Thank you very much. Its a bit atypical for me to present an image with such soft contrast as this, but I like the evocative nature of the result.
I could imagine the upper midtones at the center of the frame having almost a lacquered look in a print, (which would definitely work for me.) At any rate, I admire your ability to navigate over that kind of substrate--I've had some, ah, immersive experiences plonking around cut banks over the years.
This is a test of a Rodenstock Ysarex 127mm f/4.7 out of a Polaroid Pathfinder 110A camera
It is a moderate wideangle at 4x5".
Here I have to tilt the camera front and in the upper edges a reduced sharpness is visible.
A good usable lens for very small money.

Still working out the digital workflow for these, the print looks very different indeed.
