LOL---couldn't find another LB thread--this IS it. So--here are a few more taken at Old Salem last week.
Selective focus with the LB Composer f/2.8 and the .625 WA
Came upon this stone with 'Vacant/Remains Removed'. I tried a number of different compositions and both LB and 20. This is a quite old stone--in the Old Salem Moravian cemetery people are buried by 'choir'--married men, married women, young women, widows, etc. This is a quite old section, so the stone--and the fact they had actually had it created to say 'Vacant....' caught my attention.
The cemetery always intrigues me with its long long lines of the same stones, just with name, date of birth--not much else altho' the oldest ones often have a bible verse. The area I shot is quite old--noted by this row being disrupted by a cedar tree growing up in the middle--and the graves/stones moving right up over the roots.
Three more---the first 2 are of similar composition with 20 f/1.7
and the LB (.625 WA)--which I think conveys more the feeling of the cemetery I was trying to convey than the first.
In the end, though, I prefer the vertical.
.
The LB is interesting to shoot with. Having several converters makes it more flexible--and the FE has its place for certain subjects. In a couple that I shot, if I had it to do over, I probably would have also shot stopped down a bit (by insertion of aperture disks---the composer is f/2.0 to f/22 and the FE is f/4.0-f/22)
