Here are some scans that I mentioned in the last blog of graveyard trees. Shot with the Graflex Super D and 190mm lens. Focused assisted by Carson magnifier glasses in the cameras focusing chimney. The tree trunk is pretty sharp in this, the rest falls off because of the F5.6 f stop. I am hoping I can use this shallow depth of field well with hand held 4x5 portraiture. The left grass is the only thing in focus in pic #2. Selective focus creates an interesting surreal abandoned feeling. In the past I wanted everything sharp edge to edge in my landscapes, now I am not so sure.
