Relative gathering

Old wooden large format camera I'd gotten at auction site and repaired by myself turned out to be usable as 5x7 camera. "Momijiya &co,ltd" on the label. It was with beautiful lens,Yamasaki Congo Anastigmat 120mm F6.3 and thornton shutter. I wanted to used the lens but it didn't have iris. And the shutter didn't seem to work right. That's tricky to use. So I switched it to Fujinon 180mm lens with shutter for the time being.

The scene was like long time ago. Relatives and friend gathered in front of wooden large camera and waited for me to set the camera up. I was confused because I couldn't be sure about the focus. It's dark there. I decided to go only with the focus on grandma in centre. "What if it didn't work?! Even you brought such a huge camera and make us all to pose!" They teased. "I forgot to make sure all of you were in the frame." I replied after the shoot. There were only two films with me.

It was fun time.
