Exciting day today, received a bundle of my negatives from the lab. Here's an image from my local woods taken last summer. Taken on Delta 100 black & white medium format film with a green filter, loaded in to a Horseman 6x7cm back on an Ebony 45S camera.

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!

5x4 film negative, scanned and converted with PS. I'm enjoying this hybrid approach although have to say I've also enjoyed being in the darkroom this weekend.

Stanley Burn Woods, Walker Titan SF 4x5 with Nikkor 210mm lens, 1 sec @ f32, HP5+ in Ultrafin

Camera: Horseman L45

Lens: Fujinon W 135mm F/5.6

Film: Fujifilm Super RX-N @ 100 ISO

Developer: Rodinal 1+100

Scanner: Epson V850 Pro

Developed in Rodinal 1+100 for 7 minutes at 77F. The highlights are pretty hot so I would probably develop at 5:45 at the same temperature or 9 minutes at 68F. That being said, I am getting better results with this blue sensitive emulsion than the green sensitive Fujifilm HR-U. The base is clearer and it seems to have more dynamic range. Grain seems to be about the same. I'd say rate it at around 80-100 ISO. 50 seems a bit overexposed but passable albeit with a fair bit of blooming around the highlights.

For anyone curious, the typewriter is an Olympia SM-9 with a 10 CPI font.

I’ve been taking part in the #camerachallenge run by Jason Avery over on Twitter. Week 2’s challenge was to recreate a famous artwork. I chose Steichen’s portrait of Gloria Swanson 😳😬

Things I’ve learned:

1. It is very hard to take an in focus selfie when using a LF camera.

2. Choose a film that you have plenty of instead of 5 shots because you’re gonna waste a shit ton trying to get it right.

3. Even if doing stuff like this scares the shit out of you, do it anyway.
