->> Was just looking through some member galleries and came accross Robert Beck - http://www.sportsshooter.com/members.html?id=535 -
Photos 6 through 8 caught my attention. Just wondering how that effect of out of focus edge of frame and sharp in the centre was achieved?
any thoughts? thanks, erin |

->> Thanks for your posts. I didn't realize a speed graphic had movements. I've never actually seen one, only heard of them.Think I need to get out more ;) And thanks for the lensbabies tip. Sounds like it could be nice little toy to have.
thanks again

I'm assuming the camera, not a "movement."
Sorry Erin, no slam on you, but that really struck me as amusing.
Yeah, digging my mind out of the sewer as we speak (he says, saving his Vaseline).
Back to the thread, I've pondered using a 4x5 for work, but too often I'm so pressed for time, I wouldn't be able to meet the deadline with the turnaround required. But it really is something to think about.
A peer and I were talking about shooting football with a 4x5, getting all "old school." Might be fun.
Or maybe not.
Cheers! |

->> Vaseline works fine but if you use KY Jelly, which is water soluable, it will clean up much nicer and quicker.
No foul humor here, just the facts.
