Here is one at sunup in Death Valley, taken with the Linhof 4x5 field outfit and 210mm Rodenstock lens.? Earlier I had the dark slide catch on a negative and flip it inside the camera, so I had to take the back off to retrieve it (don't you hate it when that happens? :)).? Here is a little large format trivia: It is possible to put the back on the Linhof reversed front to back.? If you do that, as I did, then the plane of focus will be a little off and all your negatives will be OOF, like this one.? I usually carried a Polaroid back so I could check things or give an instant print to someone, but...not this time. On this one, I used an Orton effect (glowing) layer on the light part, kind of artsy and somewhat hiding the OOF part.? The idea came to me while trying out the Glenlivet 18-year Scotch.
