Tree Test One

I found a new Carl Ziess Jenna lens, 13.5 cm tessar design, laying around in an old shutter that somehow came back to life. I've been thinking of a way to do Portraits of some of the more interesting trees here on Campbell's Farm and came up with this. Not really my favorite but confirmed some suspicions I had and has me going in the right direction, I hope... I plan to try this on the 8x10 but a couple of tests with the 4x5 made sense first. It's definately the best smelling print I ever made. =)

hi shawn

i really like how everything in this print frames
the tree and THAT seems to just glow.

looking forward to the next one!

Agree with John. This really has a beautiful glow to it. More tests please!
Question - does it cover 8x10? If this is what you get on 4x5, perhaps some light fall-off towards the edges might look really appealing... :smile:
Nice!

Thanks fellows! Thomas, I believe the circle is 6.5inches in diameter wide open.... should be lots of fun on the 8x10.

It's nice to use something (coffee) in the darkroom that you don't have to worry about for a change!
 
Really really nice Shawn.
