A curiosity for a slow Sunday. Click to make smaller.
Shot this with my Speed Graphic and Wollensak 127/4.5 Raptor about 35
years ago. It was one of the few times I was successful shooting drag cars
in action with that camera. I also got my jerry-rigged Honeywell potato
masher strobe to fire here, as evidenced by the illuminated wheelwell.
Film was Ektachrome 64 4x5. Stop was probably f8. DOF is just barely
adequate, as the nose and tail of the car are a bit soft. Of course, that
could also be a result of the panning. Out of focus background elements
have halos. That may be a result of the wackiness of the lens. The
transparency is very dirty. Found it in the basement while trying to deal
with my flood problem. I should try washing it now that I've at least
scanned it. The 16-bit scan that I generated on my old Epson flatbed was
over a gigabyte. I cropped it to about 770 meg. The pic shown here is the
largest that photo.net allows. I was an ambitious young man, who lacked
common sense:-).
