This is the view when entering the store from Chestnut Street. A quite small apparel section to the right; Health and Beauty to the left; Starbucks and market/pantry straight ahead.
---------------
About 7 blocks away from the Chestnut West Target Flex is this second Target Flex. Both stores were opened within the last year. They fill a void left downtown since the Big Kmart (former Clover) closed in the Gallery Mall in 2014.
This 19,000 sq. ft. store is located all on one level and fits a CVS pharmacy, a Starbucks and the normal Target Flex departments--Market, Apparel, Health & Beauty, Home, Baby and Tech (electronics). Like all the Target Flex stores, "order pickup" is touted on the outside of the building.
This is my main DIY project for 2012:
A large format camera which supports both format 5x7 and 5x8! This is my first attempt in camera making. The way to the result will be long and tortuous! However, the camera must be finished before next September as I plan to take it with me during my next Antarctica trip (end 2012). This is quite challenging as I will be VERY busy this year
As you may know, 5x8 is not really a standardized format however cut sheet films are quite easy to get from 8x10 film sheets (just cut it in two pieces) I also find 5x8 being a nicer format for landscape photography.
It took me few months to design the Comète with a CAD software and I'm ready now to start the hard job!!!
As you can see, the overall design is quite inspired from the Chamonix cameras (which are designed more in a mechanical engineer way than a wood working way) however thinks are quite different when looked in details.
The back of the camera is designed to support both 5x7 standard film holder and 5x8 film holder (same dimension as the 5x7 fidelity film holder but with an extra inch). The only way I found to support both is to do a minor modification on the 5x7 film holder. The back can be easily rotated for portrait photography if necessary.
I have also made my own ground glass system. The ground glass can be smoothly lifted with the handle (thanks to miniature ball bearings), then the film holder can be inserted without any effort. When the handle is back to its original position, a spring push the ground glass frame against the film holder. This should minimize disturbance when changing of film holder.
The next home brewed feature is the two knobs system on the front board which allows tilting and shifting the lens board independently.
I don't plan to use long focal lenses (the three lens I have for this camera are a 110mm, a 200mm and a 300mm) however it is possible to screw the lens board a bit further on the sliding board (there are 3 position available). It would be quite easy to make an extension board which will fit on the sliding board but this will require longer bellows. Again, compromise...
The camera will weight around ~4kg.
Weight increases very quickly with the dimension of the camera. Including the 5x8 features is an extra 500g... The thickness of the different parts have not been really optimized due to my lack of experience in large format camera making. Sure it would have been possible to gain weight here and there by reducing the thickness and the dimensions of the parts, however as I plan to use this camera in harsh environment I 'm quite happy with a robust design.
Another option would have been to use composite material to reduce the overall weight but I don't know where to get such material here in New Zealand and I don't have any experience in such field to do the right choices.... The camera will be made of aluminum and wood.
I plan to make the camera during the next 6 months. It looks like I will spend a lot of time on my milling machine....

First Goniochromatype ever.
Goniochromatype under 2 different angles of view
Goniochromatism (the Greek term gonio meaning angle and chroma meaning color) is a phenomenon as old as the world, it can be observed in nature in butterflies for example, mother of pearl and pearls are a good example too. We also speak of iridescence because according to the angle of observation and according to the light we will perceive different colors. Goniochromatic inks are used for the security printing of certain bank notes.
Despite my research on the web I have not found anything about the use of these properties in the field of alternative photography. I do not know if I "invented" a new kind of alternative photographic process, but it is neither more nor less of a kind of orotone with the variation of the use of pigments with goniochromatic properties quite simply. I decided to call the object I had just created "Goniochromatype".
I would really find it amazing that no one thought of it before me. Thank you for giving me information on this subject if you find some.
My way of proceeding was as follows: Medium-format film shooting (with a Pentax 6x7) on film XP2 ilford (development C41). Preparation of the glass plate that I coated with photosensitive gelatin "Rollei black magic". After a few days of drying, the plate was exposed under an enlarger, then development in trays. (conventional black and white process)
The plate once dry was then covered with a clear acrylic varnish on the emulsion, after which I applied an acrylic lacquer loaded with pigments with goniochromatic properties.
Thank you for your interest.

I actually shot TWO engagement sessions for this couple (it's a long story....). This is from the first session. I have them in front of a former fire station, posing in the way the best expresses each of their personalities.

Mamiya 645AF, 80mm f/2.8 lens, Kodak Portra 800, Noritsu scan.
Yes, Portra 800. I never use this film, but it was overcast and I knew I'd need some extra ISO 'mileage'. Turned out very nice.
Large format 4x5 | Fuji Velvia 100
I had been hoping for a great sunset, and it looked like I'd see one, but as the sun went down, the colors never appeared. It just kept turning a deeper and deeper blue, which I think compliments the green of the grass and purple flowers nicely.
I was surprised to find wild flowers blooming in the vernal pools. A nice surprise. It was really windy that evening. This was a carefully timed shot, between gusts of wind.
I got yelled at by the park ranger for being there after hours. Guess I won't be going back here for a while.

These medium format film cameras both take 120 film and produce the very popular 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 inch negative. On the left is an Agfa Isolette folding camera of a type popularized by Voightlander and Zeiss Ikon. While rendering a very high quality image five times larger than the 35mm negative, these cameras, when folded, were even more compact than the 35mm of their day. The twin-lens Rolleiflex on the right hardly needs description as it dominated both professional and amateur photography for so many years. In those days, no country in the world could challenge the quality of the Zeiss lenses produced by secret formula in Germany.

The result of my experiment with medium format, Fujichrome Velvia and snow! very difficult to scan a Velvia slide - this one went back to scanner 3 times - still managed to reproduce only about 70% of attributes. I folded shop and sold off the Mamiya after this - cant afford the workflow. I had planned this shot from my previous trips waiting for the hut in front to glow golden yellow! Spot metered from the hut
Sorry I missed the comments from some friends - finding time has been difficult this year.

All art is but imitation of nature.-- Seneca (Letters from a Stoic - Letter LXV: On the First Cause)
The universe itself is God and the universal outpouring of its soul. --Chrysippus (Quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum)
Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness
Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For Summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells. --To Autumn. by John Keats
