The car park at the foot of the Lairig Eilde was full of the usual mix of hillwalkers and sightseers returning to their cars at the finish of a great winter day on the hill.
I had been working around the foot of Buachaille Etive Mor and Sron na Creise for much of the day beneath clear blue skies and was heading to the coast for a change of scene.
On a whim I pulled into the car park, got out of my car and poured myself a coffee, intending to enjoy a break in the open. Suddenly cloud rolled up out of the glen, my plans had to change. Not a single drop had passed my lips before the coffee was flung to the ground, I shouldered my pack and rushed off up the mountain at break-neck speed. Behind me the assorted visitors much have thought I was mad but I managed in time to make this image so who cares.
I brought along my large format camera when I went to shoot the annual lighting of the Fresnel light at Pigeon Point. However, with the amount of wind that was blowing I was afraid that any long exposures would be blurred beyond belief. So, I took a few shots during the day so that I could see what they would look like. I just uploaded this shot for a 16x20 print and will be picking it up later this afternoon from the lab. This will be the first attempt at printing from a scan made from my Toyo 45CF.
I reduced the image size to 250dpi as the original 1200dpi TIFF was 167Mb in size.
Camera: Toyo Field 45CF
Lens: Fujinon 90mm f/8.0 SW w/Seiko #0 Shutter
Exposure: 1/15 Second @f/22
Tripod: Benro A-169 w/B-0 Ball Head
Film: Fuji Velvia 100
Scanner: Epson V750-M Pro
Update: I picked up the print this evening and I was very pleased with the outcome. It was printed from the 1200dpi scan and the detail is amazing. Of course, this was the entire reason for getting a large format camera!

This is a photo of me, aged five, with my first Medium Format camera. It's a "Banier" - a clone of the "Diana", made by the Great Wall Plastic Factory in Hong Kong, and first sold in the early 60's for less than $3.00. The Diana is the darling of the lomography crowd, and it’s not entirely clear whether the Banier is a Diana clone or just an actual Diana under another name. But it's probably safe to assume that it’s an incarnation of the Diana, made in the same molds but sold in geographies where the manufacturer thought they'd get a better response to a different brand name. The Banier was a glorified box camera that shot 120 roll film and produced 4x4cm images, sixteen to a roll.
This photo was taken in East London by my father with his fantastic Kodak Retina IIIc, a camera that eventually accompanied me on a European tour in 1978-79. In fact, I still own the Retina, and may still have the Banier too. I wouldn't be surprised if it was in a box at my mother's place in Pretoria, South Africa. It was January 5, 1967 and I got the camera as a Christmas present a week or so earlier. It replaced the Kodak Box Brownie that my parents gave me for Christmas when I was three or four years old.
Behind me in this shot is my mother, sitting in our Volkswagen Type 3 "Notchback" 1500. We had driven down from Pretoria to Queenstown, where my father did some gliding before we moved on to King William's Town and East London. This image was captured on the waterfront in East London, Cape Province, South Africa on January 5, 1967.
Read this fantastic 2016 review of the Banier. I love his comment up front: "Spoiler alert: Unless you seriously want that junky, lo-fi, plastic crap camera experience, avoid these." :-) Although it's clearly not the greatest camera in the world, my cheap plastic Banier was a gateway to a new world for me. It put technology in the hands of a young boy one and planted the little creative seed that I still nurture to this day. Respect.

I was out when the sky covered up with clouds after two long hard summer months. In India, rains are always a welcome sight.
I was testing three things here:
My newly-acquired 80mm f/1.9 lens. That's right all your Contax 645 owners, with your fancier-than-thou f/2 lenses…mine goes down to 1.9! That makes my images at least 0.1 better than yours. Anyway, testing the lens as its manual focus, and I wanted to make sure my focusing screen was accurate. Yes!
Also testing a LED video light I bought off ebay. Works great! Gotta be in close though. Also it helps if you…
Testing more underexposure with the new Kodak Portra 400. In this case, underexposing 2 stops, which in effect is the same as shooting it at ISO 1600. I didn't have the lab push the film, and I scanned it at home. Contrast goes up considerably, and the background drops too…I guess that's the shadow detail being lost.
