4x5 for 365 project (339/365)

Another Sunflower shot from back in August at the Please Wash Me Car Wash in Elverson, Chester County, Pennsylvania.  I went for a shallower depth of field on this one with the advantage of being able to then use a slightly higher shutter speed to try and counteract some of the swaying of the flowers in the wind.  

Technical details:
Sakai Toyo 5x7" large format metal field camera with 4x5" film back.
150mm Caltar-S II F 5.6 lens in Copal BT shutter.
Circular polarizing filter on lens.  
Kodak Ektar 100 color negative film shot at ISO 100.
1/30th second at F16.
Developed using Unicolor C-41 color developing kit and Beseler 8x10 color print drum placed on Unicolor Uniroller 352 auto-reversing rotary base.   
4x5" negative scanned with Epson V600.
