Great choice of filter! Nice shot too!

That's cool. Nice Mark! I am always inspired by how you treat light with your 'insignificant' lenses.

Great.

You just have to smile at this

Funny,
I have to say using a 11x14 camera is quit a feat. I have trouble with close ups with my 8x10. the bellows had to strech forever.

Thank you all.

Mike ~ Have you tried using a shorter lens? When I work in close on either 8x10 or 11x14, I think in terms of what focal length will focus at a reasonable extension. This was done with a Cooke process lens (about 10 inches, I think) that isn't even rated for 8x10. On 8x10, I usually use a 6 inch lens. Coverage is seldom an issue that close, though I always check the corners...

Now the exposure times at small stops at that extension in subdued light are a feat...
