I had a good time with 4x5 back in the day and sold a few pics to car mags. I've been thinking I ought to shoot a few more frames of BW 4x5 while the film is sill available. I have the whole kit stashed in the back of my closet. Paul On Mar 5, 2012, at 8:26 PM, Mark C wrote: > Very cool shot, Paul, and excellent timing to catch the car mid-wheelie.

Click to make smaller. >> Shot this with my Speed Graphic and Wollensak 127/4.5 Raptor about 35 years ago. It was one of the few times I was successful shooting drag cars in action with that camera. I also got my jerry-rigged Honeywell potato masher strobe to fire here, as evidenced by the illuminated wheelwell. Film was Ektachrome 64 4x5. Stop was probably f8. DOF is just barely adequate, as the nose and tail of the car are a bit soft. Of course, that could also be a result of the panning. Out of focus background elements have halos. That may be a result of the wackiness of the lens. The transparency is very dirty. Found it in the basement while trying to deal with my flood problem. I should try washing it now that I've at least scanned it. The 16-bit scan that I generated on my old Epson flatbed was over a gigabyte. I cropped it to about 770 meg. The pic shown here is the largest that photo.net allows. I was an ambitious young man, who lacked common sense:-). >> >> http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=15291993&size=lg > > > > -- > PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List > [email protected] > http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net > to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
