My first try with a 4x5 camera. Like any kid with a new toy I went way too far playing with the controls. The camera was at the same height as the table and tilted up at about 20 degrees. to capture the top of the building.
then I moved the real of the camera to eliminate any keystoning. This is a 4 story building and it compressed the hight a lot. Thn I tried to tilt the lens to try to increase the dept of field. Well, at least some of it is in focus! It's much more dificult and time consuming then playing with my Holgas. I'm not sure why to light completely dropped off in the lower right hand corner.
The final (?) iteration of this project. This allows you to develop up to four sheets of 4x5 film in a daylight tank without resorting to rubber bands or hair ties, ie the taco method.
Another test with a 305mm Ilex Acutar lens on my Kodak 2D 8x10 camera. Foma 100 film, Rodinal 1+50. The "scratch" on the left side is an artifact from my scanner.
The current issue of View Camera magazine has an article about Women and Their Big Cameras featuring the photographs of the women who attended the meetup at my place this summer. Pick up the issue if you can. It's a fun read...

Went back to Ken Lockwoord Gorge this past weekend. I'm somewhat habitual by nature, so I will keep going back to the same places over and over again. I find it hard to believe you can get the true essence in any place by going there once.
I loved the contrast of the sun baked rocks and the trees in the background. The sun came through the tree line and hit that low lying patch of leaves but left the rest of the woods in heavy shade.
Front view of my pocket4x5inch pinhole camera, almost finished, just needs a shutter. The pinhole itself is made by : Stenocamera
-------------------------------------------------
I have started a group for large format pinhole only as to separate it from the rest of the pinhole images. Because its another world and focal length in large image photography.
Images must be made starting from 4x5inch and upwards, bigger the better and using plan film, polaroid or photographic paper to create the images. Using homemade or modified large format cameras.
Everyone that is into large format pinholes is welcome :
My roommate with his thesis. The pose was entirely his idea.

Lens cap, not shown, is a cap for 4" PVC plumbing pipe, painted matte black. It's a loose fit, and I might put some felt around the inside, but so far it hasn't been a problem.
With GREAT trepidation I disassembled the rear standard of my 10x8 in order to properly measure the ground glass to get a brighter one made to replace what is probably getting on 50 years old and very dim.,
It is now re-assembled and good to go again while I wait for the replacement.
My friend Gi said that judging for my photos I am only in parties and dinners, so here some pics of work.
Originally purchased to engrave tombstones, we've discovered many purposes for this machine over the years. Oversize stencils are a big one.
