Macro Test Image

I shot a test image using my Bender 4×5 racked out all the way with my 150mm lens mounted.? The image is a shutter from a Agfa Isolette that is currently partially disassembled.? The exposure ended up being 72 seconds at f32 on a Polaroid Type 51 negative.

Agfa Isolette Shutter

The shutter is floating on the end of a Manfrotto Flex Arm.? It is stuck there with some silly putty.? The background is about a foot back and is simply some black fleece from a fabric store draped over the back of a chair.? Lighting is from two continuous 46 watt (150 watt equivalent) daylight balanced fluorescent lights in reflectors.? One to the left of the camera, and one directly above the shutter.

The setup shot is on flickr:?Setup Shot
