Every now 'n again I make a sharp picture.

Done several years ago with an ancient 240mm Voigtländer Heliar on 8X10. The negative is complex with reflections in reflections. Printed, the tonality dazzles. I like it just tipped to warm.

This is my high school buddy's garage. He's got better junk than me but he aint got a Heliar.

Available light. 19 sec f32 1/2

A very impressive range of tones. That black must look really great, but how to print it?

I particularly like pictures like this where there are regions with more pictures to explore. The picture looks great on my screen. I look forward to seeing the print when I get to visit!

Good lens to have and yes it can take very sharp pictures at f32!

Through car windows: what the next guy is looling at!

Hi Jim,

Your B&W picture might have been on my mind as I looked to my right while stopped at a traffic light the other day in Beverly Hills.

So I thought a new thread on using the car as a picture frame or mirror would be interesting. The new topic is here.
