this is a test shot for a (self) portrait i want to do next week. I'm going to add a light from the lower left i think to even out the shadows and detail somewhat, i want there to be shadows but nowhere near as harsh. I think a backlight may be necessary too. I know it's a little silly, but there's a reason behind it, i think it'll be clearer with the final image. I look pretty wrecked huh? :)

going through some old HDs I found a scan of my first ever shot on a large format camera, it was a synar.
I used to assist at this studio and in one of those lazy afternoon, no jobs in the horizon kinda feeling I was given green light to play around with the camera and shoot a few sheets!
good god, I dont remeber exactly when this photo was taken, soewhere before the digital photography boom!
Ongoing design refinements for my lasercut 4x5 build. This will be cut from a single sheet of 6mm material before assembly. The final camera will have a rotating back with embedded DDS/groundglass holder along with full movements on the front standard.
We have a few papers so rare and expensive that most people never see them. But since a customer recently ordered one of our Gold* Fusuma papers, we thought you might enjoy a glimpse of a paper you would otherwise never see.
*It's actually burnished bronze, but no less beautiful for that!
Very mysterious. I took a large format photo class one semester and got a camera to use for the entire semster. Bitchin. Someday I'll scan the work that I shot with it and post it up here.
Arista 200 4x5 sheet film, rated at 200. F8 at 1/30 second. Xtol 1+1 for 10 minutes.
Scanned by putting the negative on a cell phone and then using a digital camera to take a picture, then inverting it in Lightroom.
There is a "grain" that is visible across the view. This is actually the OLED display behind the negative. When I get home I will do a proper scan.
Lake Tahoe sunset on 4X5, VS100.
As I recall, this was about a 30 second exposure at f45.
Minor tonal adjustment and dust removal in photoshop.
This was a difficult shot for me. The temperature was about 10 degrees and the wind blowing off the lake made it seem well below zero. I wasn't dressed for it. After two hours of waiting for a sunset I wasn't really caring much about the shot. I just wanted back into the warm car.
