I was so pleased with this little project as the snow blew sideways most of Saturday, that I created a page of images.

Caution:

You are about to enter the world of soft and/or selective focus. If you hate that stuff, simply avoid. If not, have fun and let me know what you like.

These were made with a small non-descript 5" lantern petzval of ancient and simple nature. Yes, it'll turn up in the classifieds later today. Or not. I'm still wavering.

Very nice, as always, Jim.

Hey,
Just had a look at these pictures - may be simple but very beautiful.
Great effect with the lens, such smooth transisitons.

Going back for another look lol !

How come the little green men spend so much time in Nevada?

Petzval's are magic your hands, Jim. Very nice.

Great images Jim, looks like a keeper to me!
If you are intrested in selling it, I am looking for a short Petzval.
