Spotting this small waterfall I had to shoot it, and having only the 210mm Petzval in current focal range, I stopped it down to f32 to get the time and «sharpness» that I needed.

With the selfmade waterhouse stop, and as everybody knows, everything lower than 1/30 sek is just an approximate on a Graflex Speed Graphic.

I had to crop it down to make it work.

Camera: Graflex Speed Graphic

Lens: Petzval 210mm f3.8 at f32 - 2sek.

Film: Fomapan 100

Dich entführt, dieser Augenblick bricht...

Before the light of the morning

kidnaps you or breaks this moment...
