Well you work with what you've got, and I don't mind the vignetting at the top at all; I think it helps concentrate attention on the main item in the image: the moon set in its dark sky. And I think you got away with the bellows cut-off at the bottom, which is barely noticeable. An appealing image, ...

Thanks Maris. Local councils are spoil sports, aren't they? They seem to have the mentality that requires them to make and pursue petty regulations as justification for their existence. I have no time for them. O for the times when things were simpler and folk who weren't hurting anyone else were fr...

Thanks Mick. Yes you certain;y need something hefty to carry the Linhof around. I bought it many years ago and I love it to bits, but I can only give it a run at home or from the boot of the car.

Agree entirely Maris. Beautiful subject and near-far sharpness perfectly managed. Lovely image.

Thanks for steering the ship these last six years, Oscar, and good luck with your future LF photography.

great image, Mick. I do like it.

Great shot, Maris. I imagine how tricky it was to get it just centred at the limit of that lens's coverage. I wouldn't have noticed the bellows cut-off at the bottom if you hadn't pointed it out. And the red filter is just right for the shot.
