Lense raised, film plate tilted to the max.

You just have to love that T-55 film, expensive as it is . I would certainly like to see you post more. With an old B&J no less. Kudos to you.

Thank you for your kind words and comments.

 

I am going to be adding more type 55 images. I buy my type 55 expired (half price).. :-)

Good to see the camera getting some use, but I don't much care for the effect- call it the Lensbaby Look, maybe. Anyway, to me, the out-of-focus looks fine when it is in front of or behind the subject. And it looks okay when it is pretty gradual and toward the edges (ie, the Holga look). But when somewhat arbitrary parts of the frame are unfocused, it just doesn't work for me. I like the subject here, like the angle, just would prefer it sharp top to bottom, with sharpness in trees and ground optional.

this wasnt my intent to give this image this kind of focus. I was trying to get as much of the building with as little of the grass as I could get. I didnt want to raise the tripod, as that was giving a perspective I didnt care for. So, that is when I started monkeying with the knobs. It was hard to get a good idea of the focus pattern as this was taken at 4pm and I didnt have a cover to get a good idea on what was on the back plane.

 

Thank you for viewing and commenting, I am looking to get as much feedback as I can get. I know this isnt Ansel Adams' work, but I want to get better.

 

If you get a chance, I have different shots in this gallery.
