Motorcycle saddle bag at a show at Owls Head Transportation Museum this summer. 4x5 speed graphic and 9" Gundlach Hyperion soft focus lens. tmy2 tmax 400 film in pyrocat hdc. It was a sunny day and I knew the brightwork would glow nicely as soon as it went the tiniest bit out of focus.

JP, my wife's family is from Liberty, ME, and we go to the Owl's Head museum every summer. Wonderful place.
Here's a Hardley-Davidson at the Old Kingsbury Aerodrome in Kingsbury, TX. I kinda wish I'd opened up the aperture a bit for a little shallower focus.

I like to visit Liberty; used to have to do that regularly for work.
Lots of possibilities in that scene Mike! I'd some wagon wheel + rusty wall abstracts, maybe by them self and as a background to the American flag. I bet that's an interesting place.
I have a thing for original Harleys at the moment (thanks to the Discovery Channel's "Harley and The Davidsons" - excellent dramatisation of the foundings of the company), so, of course this one is going to appeal to me!
I agree with your own evaluation of your photo. It would be nice with a shallow DOF, as the bike is getting lost in the background. I'd still be happy if that photo was mine, though.
Cheers
Hardley-Davidson, huh? Harley-Davidson? There's got to be a historical detail in the difference.

More from Al's Motor Garage at the Kingsbury Aerodrome, this time cropped to 2:1 due to vignetting from not checking the corners. Must remember that the 75mm f/8 SA only has a little wiggle room.
