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 :-)
This is my last 4x5 shot of the Wright glider replica. I have a roll of Provia from my RZ that's yet to be processed, so there will eventually be more shots of this beauty.
But here's the nearly complete glider. The tail section is behind me, unattached but fully assembled. As large as this warehouse space was, I still had to back in to a corner to fit this much of the aircraft in the frame with the lens I have.
At this point, the glider is down in NC as part of an exhibit at the Wright Brothers Museum.
In a lovely grouping of, I think, sycamore trees on Brown's Island.
Taken with The Howitzer (Speed Graphic). At this point I'd received my new (used) film holders, so no more light leaks!
And here's my last shot, until this weekend, from The Howitzer.
My sister-in-law, on Brown's Island in Richmond, VA.
