I was digging through my archives and actually found some color 4x5 Fuji Velvia 50 that I took during the late 1990s when I lived in California. I never scanned them because I didn't have a scanner that could handle 4x5. Well, I still don't but I figured out how to scan them in 120 strips and stitch them together :)
CAMBO 45. Polaroid 54.
Just my first attempts into large format. Excuse the nonsense of the image itself. It was just something I had around...
Anyway, just my first tilt and shift stuff...
Martin's Beach is a private beach located about 15 minutes south of Half Moon Bay, CA. Last time I was there they charged $5 for parking so bring some money if you plan on visiting.
Crown Graphic 4x5
90mm f/6.8 Angulon
Kodak E100SW
Update: I just did a quick search on Martin's Beach & it looks like it is for sale. See article here. It's now $10 to park but I guess there is no access anymore since they closed it. Bummer.
Same location & film etc test 2 lenses. Notice a Reciprocity Failure with the contrast but I bought a lot more film for testing. Pyrocat HD next time.

Crown Graflex 4x5 large format field camera.
Got this a while back but only just had the time to photograph it. Love it though! :D

Whenever any new, or new to me, piece of gear comes my way, I tend to take it out into our backyard and shoot our pond with it. When I got my Busch Pressman Model D 4x5 press camera recently, it came with a Graflex Optar 135mm f:4.7 lens in a Graphex shutter. I didn't hold much hope for the lens really suiting my shooting style so I immediately swapped it out with my existing Rodenstock Geronar 150mm lens for it's first weekend out shooting. So it was only fair that I test the Optar lens that came with the camera at some point so I mounted it back on the camera and took a few test shots with it out at the pond. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the 1950s era lens does very well in terms of sharpness and contrast when shot with X-Ray film. I have a set of Kodak Series VI filters that I can use with the lens so I'll be putting them through some tests with different kinds of films this coming weekend too.

The Camera maker's name was Seneca. That was no reference to the name of a Roman philosopher, the name was taken from the Seneca-Iroqois Indians who live in the state of New York. The Seneca company itself was based in that state, in the camera capital Rochester. Chautauqua is a word of the Indian language. The camera name might refer to the name of the Chautauqua lake, the town Chautauqua and the Chautauqua county in the state of New York. The town is the home of the Chautauqua institution, the central of the Chautauqua adults' education movement.
Evening of 2010 January, 1st in Moscow. A few people on the street.

I spotted a group of students in the Great Western using this beautiful large format camera.They told me it was an MPP - a British camera from the 1960's.
while i was taking this picture, with the camera dark cloth over my head, someone snuck up to my bike across the street and left a note scrawled on a napkin calling me an a__hole, and then disappeared without a trace. this was on treasure island, practically deserted. really creepy. but i like the picture.

From Sunday's Live Draw event. Was doing instant oilgraph portraits and these were the negs that came from them. I mounted and painted the polaroids and either sold them outright or put them out for auction.
Most of these were portraits of the patrons at the event.
Haven't shot 4x5 in years. It's like shooting with a cow, but I began to get my stride soon. I wasn't going to add any of these actually since it's not my usual thing and a bit more static that I am used to, but I figured why not.

The old, rusty rollerblades of my older sisters, lying in a wooden box from my shed, untouched for decades.

My four year old son has taken a keen interest in the construction of this project, asking me every morning if I've done anything new to the camera the night before (after he'd gone to bed).
Since he's so interested, I decided we'd paint it together. I had to draw the line though when he asked to paint the inside.
I've got at least one light leak I know of, due to shoddy workmanship. It's in the corner of the rear, where it meets the middle section, which makes it harder to fix. The area slides, so I can't just throw putty over it or something like that. I think some felt folded over as a sort of curtain will keep it out.
Not shown, a 'lens board' with a 1/2" hole in it, which will be for a pinhole. Once I've got it tested as a working pinhole camera - a heavily over-built pinhole camera! - I will build a lens or two for it. I've already ordered some lens elements from a surplus optical supply company.
And those finger prints on the front are sawdust from subsequent work on the plate holder, and they brush right off. We're not THAT sloppy. the pink paint on the front however is another story...
