I'll certainly enjoy your BLOG as I like SF work a lot (as you already know Bruce)!
That Gillies PS is a great lens indeed!!

Hi papah - very interesting, but the Clarence White pic is just sohh grainy and the bokeh is way too extreme, that style will never catch on . . . Wink

No, back to earth - the White picture really appeals to me - how much more mood can you get into a photograph? And I'm taken by the results you've got yourself.

Looking at your camera/bellows/lens board set up, am I deceived by the angle of the shots, or is the lens board tilted forward slightly? Pardon me if I'm wrong, please.

Do show us some more - !

The lens board doesn't normally tilt; it may have been loose when I set up those photos. I wish there were room to use the tilts and risers of the original holder, but I have to use the full Linhof rig to get that functionality.
