Small Vase

I feel the need to undigitalise the digital and I wanted to go back to the basics, slowing down the process. So I bought a 13x18 plate camera with bellows with a Tessar-Zeiss 1:6.3 F210 E. Krauss lens. I took several photos, while moving my digital camera, of the image projected on the original ground glass of the plate camera, and combined them together in post so that the whole image is 'evenly' lighted. The textures and softness is all due to the lens and the glass plate, I did not add any texture afterwards.
