5x7 Harman Direct Positive Paper
Preflashed and exposed at ISO3
Linhof color with adapter and Leitz EPIS 400mm f4.
I always develop the paper complete.
The edges from the film holder goes black, and I know the development is good. This way, I only need to control the preflash and exposure.
I control exposure to get the right Highligt and preflash to control the shadows. Ligth source is also important as always.
On a Roadtrip in 2017 this majestic peak showed uy it’s face on a quick cloud movement.

Another picture from this very special place.
The old graveyard is peaceful. The place connects me emotionally to the ancient mysteries. The magic and beauty of the place is there to see and feel, but so difficult to capture.
It was raining and windy but it did not stop me from taking the pictures.

Darvin is something of a legend in the Cayman Islands, known for dressing in full regalia as a Buccaneer for the annual Pirates' Week festivities. He is a serious and passionate man, and a champion of local culture, speaking in schools and the university. He is fiercely proud of his heritage but embraces the diversity of the community on the island. A man you can have a real conversation with.
You can’t go wrong seeing things from different angles. It often opens doors into new ways of thinking, living or feeling.
Just let it happen.
@polaroidweek day 6, 2nd image.
My @polaroid films are gone. I first thought that my photography time is over but i found a new path to keep my eyes open for some new images.
I wish a good time to all the people especially here in the @polaroidweek. If i find some fresh images next year i take part again.
Hidden behind some bushes and away from the path people uasually go, I found this tree with its beautiful trunk.

Life underfoot. Usually unnoticed.
So much talent has passed through the Universe, will the Universe remember?
Or just pass by unnoticed?

Continuing with my large format experience, taking my expired Arista Ultra 100 8x10 film on a sunny but windy day, using the super wide (for the format) Nikkor. Theme again was the mountains and water, but no stillness for the latter given the wind. Film is, unfortunately, failing a bit, with mottling no doubt due to age, but moved past it. This time, used Rodinal alone at 1+100, and found the accutance as to be expected as sharp, with contrast a bit more (!) than I expected. Without a filter nice cloud imaging. My tripod sank a couple of times in the sand requiring me to re-set up the shot, and the geese weren't too happy with me with one trying to chase me away. Such is the high excitement and risk of LF image acquisition! Thanks to the flickerans who contine to inspire all of us!
The illustration of my life in my beautiful Ukraine. The toughest year. The year of war. But we here, at home, put together pieces of our broken hearts, lives and souls and move, no matter what, to our dreams.

Happy New Year to all my friends! I wish that you will have much fun, prosperity and that all your dreams come true.
For me, my resolution is - to make at least one large format photo each week .... !
I'm just getting back to shooting large format portraits after a long break. Just about managed to do the right things in the right order. Technical stuff for those who care: Wista 45DX, 210mm APO Symmar at F11, 4x5 Ilford HP5+ rated at 250 ISO and processed normal in DD-X.
this is my contribution for the May 2019 12.12 Project, the instant photography collective of which I am a member. Our theme is fragility.

Shot with a Toyo D45 on Ilford Delta 100 sheet, developed in Xtol. Inside Saint Olave's Church. Ramsey, Isle Of Man. I think this one was 8 seconds at f11, forgot to write a note on the dark slide.
Even without religious belief, these places offer solace and quiet. A reminder that whatever we believe maybe we should all ask for peace. Pray for a future without wanton destruction. Desire a world fit for future generations. Kneel before the might of mother nature and beg forgiveness for the anguish we have already caused her.
1949 Anniversary Edition Speed Graphic, Kodak Ektar 127mm F/4.7 + 2X close-up filter, Ilford HP5, developed in HC-110 for 5 mins
Yesterday, I took my Speed Graphic for another spin. It had been over a year since I shot any large format photography. It felt great to see that I remembered how to do everything, from loading the film correctly in the film holder, to opening (and then remembering to close) the lens, to using the ground glass, etc. There are a lot of steps to follow in large format photography. Images are composed upside down and backwards. I have to use a magnifying glass to get a precise focus. It’s like calisthenics for the brain. Any mis-step along the way, and the photo is ruined, and you won’t have any clue until after developing the film. One success is worth all the time and effort though. It feels like a victory. :)
