Uneven development unfortunately. - Will visit this boat again.
Prowess, loaded with nails, sunk outside Askvoll in 1948. The wreckage was bought for its nails and motor and moved to this spot (Kvamsvika, Norway) by a local businessman.

I shot this in my darkroom late one night after Juliet and Serafima had gone to bed. I wanted to test a developerI call GPN for General Purpose Normal (contrast). It is as the name implies a very basic MQ developer - not fine grain, not acutance, not low contrast or high contrast, not staining or tanning, - just the kind of work horse developer professional labs used because it would handle just about anything. Admittedly, 4x5 Tmax 100 is not the best choice to reveal the developer's limitations as far as grain goes, but that was kind of what interested me. If I'm shooting 4x5 I can forget about needing a fine grain developer, and that ought to buy me something in terms of the characteristics compromised for fine grain in fine grain developers, like more film speed, or perhaps improved gradation.
While there is nothing obviously "wrong" with my results here, when I compare it to another negative from the same set up processed in 510-Pyro, It's just not quite as good, to my eyes. I know one test is not much to go on, but I was really hoping to see something compelling. I did another test using Ilford Delta 100 in 35mm, and it looks very nice, too.

Monobath film developers feel like the in thing for 2018. Whether you’re just thinking about jumping into home developing, or are an old hand, there has never been a better time to try them out.
In this article, I compare the results from six different film stocks developed in monobath...

Shot with Graphic View with 135mm Graphex Optar lens, 1/200th f/16, on Ilford HP5+. Developed in R3 monobath, and "Scanned" by taping the 4x5 negative to a sunny window.
Detail shot of the wing-flexing control mechanism for Rick Young's hand-built, functional replica of a 1911 Wright test glider. This is the glider that was used to improve in-flight stability after the Wright's had already achieved powered flight years earlier.
I felt like a little kid just having the privilege of seeing this thing let alone being allowed to photograph it with my 4x5 camera.
Major props to my sister-in-law for this shot. She complains about the cold when it's in the 70s, and here she was willing to post on cold bricks during a brisk and windy late December day. She's a trooper.
My older brother in the field beside my parents' house on Christmas morning, 2010.
This was from the second pair of shots taken with my Speed Graphic, and I used one of the old holders that came with the camera. This side clearly wasn't light-tight at the flap, so the right side is overexposed to the point of near total white-out.
At least the important part of the frame was okay.
Don't drop them on the floor between the fixing tank and the wash tub, if you can help it... Souped in R3 Monobath, 6 minutes at 80F.

Took my Speed Graphic to Scott's Addition when one of my best friends was in town. He's wrapping up a Ph.D. in biology at VA Tech right now. He's good - really good, at making biology interesting. But he's also hilarious, interesting, and has great taste in cinema (and cooks some of the best biscuits and gravy you ever had).
One of my classmates at grad school. I have a variation on this shot that I'll post when I get the time to clean up the dust on the image.
Well this didn't work out as expected. I wanted a beautiful Jack Pierson shallow focus Polaroid but I got this, which is more in the very bad Fuzzy Flower Greeting Card vein. I'm bound and determined to continue to try handholding this massive camera though (until I come to my senses and pull out the tripod again), at large apertures and close up (this was from about 3 feet). I want to go closer in to the 10" limit of the lens and bellows, but the rangefinder only goes to about 3 feet, so I have to focus on the ground glass at 10", which is a whole other story when handholding. Nevertheless, my determined (but frustrating) experiments will continue.
Another detail shot of the Wright 1911 glider replica, showing the custom aluminum castings for the control arm rockers and the seat on the lower wing.

Unfortunately I obviously didn't have the negative in the older quite straight.

Brown's Island, Richmond, VA.
This is my first shot taken with the Graflex Pacemaker Speed Graphic I purchased before Christmas. I finally have my Epson V700, and with the help of Silverfast scanning software, I've managed to see what I saw on the negatives and contact prints.
My focus and exposure could use a little work, but at least the shutter appears to be firing fairly accurate at the higher speeds.
It's sort of a requirement to shoot yourself in the mirror, right?
Exposure 1/5 at f/8
Shot on Shanghai GP3, developed in Rodinal 1:100 for 60 minutes stand.
Gradually pulling back on the Wright glider replica. Now you can see the front vertical stabilizer (to the right of the frame), the complete control arm assembly, and a wider view of the struts and wires that join the two wings together.
Oh, and in case you're squinting your eyes at this wondering why it's crooked: well, the glider itself is crooked - and it's contorted, slightly, from the tension on the wings. I tried straightening this for a while before I realized I had the background level, and the aircraft itself was misaligned :-)
