Jonathan's 12" Wolly pictures inspired me to try my hand at something. It's also a 12" with the fuzzulator's stop shaved off. This was shot with the fuzzer unscrewed about 2.5 times and the iris shut down to f/11. No swing, and noattempt to get everything focused in the frame. The subject is some abandoned commuter train coaches. The focus is on the lamp-like thing just in front of the second train car. Film is Efke 25 8x10. It doesnt look like much in this resized presentation, so the follow on is a 4x5 crop. In the latter, you can see the effect better.

Full 8x10:

This image is the result of using the most unsung Classic lenses, the Wollensak Velostigmat II, and sheer luck.  That's because the image was made w/almost 10yr old Polaroid 804.  

Exposure was using the Ray Charles exposure technique, I set my meter to its 'OLD ASS FILM' setting, which was EI40, metered the light source @ F8.5, and then set the lens to F4.5 as a guestimate to compensate for bellows extension and 10yr old outdated film.

I went in my garage looking for simple tools/items to shoot, the subject matter by itself isn't what intrigues me about the shot, but texture.

Steve..........This is the Velostigmat w/the Polaroid 'Chocolate' process(809 color neg onto 804 positive w/b&w chemical pod).  Purchased from Equinox, this was my first classic lens in LF, a magical lens for not a lot of money.  Incidently, it's hard to take my eyes away from your Raptor shot.
