White Owl 10 cent Cigars, f5.6
I made one small goof. I forgot
bellows factor and I
suppose I was approaching 1:1 on
these so shadows
are a bit dark. Still you
can see the effect well enough.

These were done on 8X10 Efke 100
film with a Century
10A studio camera / packard shutter.
1/8 @ f5.6, 1/4 @
f8, 1sec @ f16, and 7sec @ f32
(didn't forget reciprocity)
all easily accomplished with a
Packard Ideal shutter.
Window lighting from a north facing
window about 8pm.

White Owl 10 cent Cigars, f16
I focused on the numbers on the
Cooke lens aperture
scale and used quite a lot of rear
tilt since I was looking
down. I used rear swing to
get as much of the box lid
in focus at one time as possible.
Focused @ f11.

White Owl 10cent Cigars, f32
At 5.6 it has a ton of mojo.
At f8 it's still cooking but
throttled just a bit. At
f16 it's getting pretty sharp and
depth of field still affects focus.
At f32 you could use
it for sharp detail shots!

I did no sharpening in PhotoShop.
