Photo Forum / Film Photography / Medium format / May 2006trilliums
I've been shooting a lot with my Rolleiflex 6008i, which is a great camera, with great lenses (not that I can afford many of them). I recently captured some trilliums on 4x5 b&w film, and thought I'd return the next day with the rollei and some fuji velvia. At the last minute I thought to bring along my old RB67 and 150mm soft focus lens. Glad I did. The Rollei shots were sharp and very well exposed, but the 150mm sf lens was more appropriate to the subject matter: http://www.shuttercity.com/ShowPhoto.cfm?PhotoID=104977 I underexposed the shot a little, as I forgot to add a stop for the bellows extension, but it scanned well enough all the same.

Reminds me of the ones growing wild around my old house way north of Seattle. > I've been shooting a lot with my Rolleiflex 6008i, which is a great camera, > with great lenses (not that I can afford many of them).

Seems like it would make a nice card for Mother's Day. I just did up a Polaroid transfer to send off to my mom, along with a card. This one works better than your previous shot. Ciao!

Yeah, I was just really pleased with the earlier shot because it was the first half-way decent one I'd taken with the 4x5. Thanks, Gordon, and everyone else who replied.

Very appropriate for this particular shot. _________________ > I underexposed the shot a little, as I forgot to add a stop for the > bellows extension, but it scanned well enough all the same. A fortuitous "error". Not really an error as it just weighted the exposure toward the highlights (flowers) thereby increasing their details and minimizing same in the lower values.
