Great to see you back out. Look forward to more new videos.

[@BillMcCarroll]

Always enjoy your videos Craig. Looks like you got your depth of field. Love old cars too.

[@DonKittle]

It really turned out well! Thanks for sharing this, Craig.

Nice work, thanks for sharing.

Always a pleasure to see one of your videos pop up. How did you feel about the image after development? The dof looked okay on KZbin, but I'm sure that's a less than definitive method for determining such things :)

[@CraigSheaks]

The DOF was acceptable but could have been a tad better. I could have went down to f/64 but didn’t want to introduce that much diffraction. The movements I employed could probably have been better. Part of why I like 8x10 is the challenge. In 4x5 I can be “sloppy” when using movements, but 8x10 requires more precision. Sometimes a subtle change in a movement can make all the difference.

@@CraigSheaks well you're a braver, more patient photographer than I. Medium format is my 'slow' format,and even then I rush through it more than I would like. I should probably try and take a breath before I shoot, literally, and then double check my settings. Keep up the good work!

Nice to see you after a cold, dark winter! An interesting choice of subject. The forms are subtle. What interested you about the scene that convinced you to invest the time and effort to make the exposure?

[@CraigSheaks]

The combination of the older fence, the car, the older satellite dish in the distant background. Also, to be honest, I just wanted to take a shot of something that day. I had been driving around for quite some time without finding anything.

I would like to have seen the front standard with its tilts to get an idea how much it took.

[@CraigSheaks]

I should have done that. I will remember to show that next time. The swing and rise were minimal, the tilt was a bit more than I would have expected.
