    Landscape shot with a macro lens

    I'm a real beginner in 4x5.
    I wanted to test my new macro lens, a Rodenstock Ysaron 75mm, with a landscape shot, to see the size of the image circle.
    Shoot at f/16.
    Ilford FP4+, developped in a Paterson tank (I started developping two weeks ago).
    Scanned with a light table on a V500.
    I forgot to drop the Graflex dropbed.

    Count me in on that opinion. The camera bed adds to the composition. I think it's a very significant element in this.

    Now just don't try to say "I meant to do that" ;-)
    Yeah. I'm familiar with Photoshop. It's the place I buy my film.

    I also like the bed. Sort of forces you to recognize that this is a flat image taken by a camera, not the real thing. Ceçi n'est pas une bâtiment.

    This is not large format, but the title reminded me. Forgive me
