[Leica] Dune photo

[Ken Carney]

Like many in confinement, I've been going over old negatives/files, 
cleaning up etc.  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.
