My First try at still life

[Flack]

After watching a few of Martins video's and the rain not stopping I was chewing at the bit to take some still life shots with my Micro Tech 4x5. After a home made setup using some of my work lights and a video light, with an old bed sheet, I set it up in my garage.

Using some of my selection of camera's I tried to get in focus from front to back using some tilt, I can see I should have been more square on as its a bit one sided I think. give me some critique and feedback on what I need to improve.

Apart from the bottom section of the Bronica I think you have achieved pretty good overall focus - not easy even with a view camera. I presume you have Photoshopped the background? It make the image look a bit odd. You might find it worth while to spend a little time getting the background sorted out so you don’t have to put a false one in.

Yes Terry I swapped out the background as the original, ( the old bed sheet I used was not a good choice) I need to find another item to use for this.
