Bill, took it out today and shot two sheets of film. I found out what adjustments I need to make. I now can fine tune her. Going into the darkroom to develop the first negs.

Here are some pic's of the camera in action and raked out to 36". It seems steady at full extension.

Which beach did you go to? It looks like a nice Summer day down there, here we had a record late in the year show fall. Even the squirrels stayed in.

Curt, this was on Highway 1 just south of Magu rock between Malibu and Pt. Huenueme. I got down there about 7:30 AM and was done by 9:30 Am. The wind got ugly about 2 hours after I was done. I find that the 11x14 takes longer to set up than my 8x20. It is a little harder to get it on the tripod. I am now amazed at how fast I can set up my 8x10!
