Large Format Selfie Stick

This is the shot I took with my large format selfie stick a little over a week ago.  I shot a couple of test sheets on Ilford HP5, and threw them in with the batch that I developed in 510 Pyro.  This was mostly just to check the perspective of the lens, the positioning of the camera and the depth of field.  It seemed to work out fairly well, and I think we will attempt this at one of our Beer Parlour Project outings.  
I used a Nikkor 150mm lens on my Ebony 4x5 view camera.  This was taken on August 8th at about 12:00 noon.  I had to stop down to F22.0 to hold adequate depth of field, but the use of the faster HP5 film, rated at 320 iso, allowed for a shutter speed of 1/30th of a second.  It all seemed to work out.
