And Now, For Something Completely Different...

Are you tired of the same old stuff in the railroad photography arena? Well, I give you a little change. All I can say is that being able to control the plane of focus thanks to the movements of the view camera made both of these shots possible.

 

In the other shot, I used the Scheimpflug principle to give me essentially infinite depth of field along the plane of the train. In this shot, I did exactly the opposite to very much limit the area of sharpness. Both are useful, and I think successful, but I think I like this shot more.

 

With the crazy difference between the sharp and non-sharp and the antique post-processing, this shot has a very vintage feel that I rather like. Who says film is dead?

 

BTW, same camera, lens, film and development data as the previous shot.
