2008.03.16: Selective focus shooting with Leanna

A photo I've shown in this blog in a previous post but I finally did a proper scan of the Polaroid photo using the Betterlight Super 6K-HS scanning back, Horseman LE, and Rodenstock Sironar 210/5.6. People seemed to love the scanning defect from the previous scan in the form of the diagonal noisy lines so after some tinkering I deliberately recreated these lines. Selective focus was all performed within camera on Kwok's Camera and the Fujinon 150/5.6 w/ Seiko shutter. Congratulations to Sarah Chung for purchasing this camera. I don't think there was anyone I would have rather sold the camera to.

-30degrees C plus humid, strong wind presents challenges for both model and photographer but also create an interesting setting for photo creation. Shot with the Nikon D300 mounted onto a Chinese-made sliding adapter for the Graflok universal mount for 4x5 cameras. Adapter was mounted on the back (or front, depending on how you think about it since the camera is symmetrical) Horseman LE and shot through the Rodenstock Sironar 210/5.6. Top right corner was digitally blurred since the movements that would create the plane of focus that I wanted were physically impossible to achieve despite having unlimited view camera movements with this monorail.
