Trying out Ektachrome 4x5 film on my favorite test subject
Was shooting with my field camera and a small rainbow appeared. Sadly I only had my iPhone to take this picture as I had left my digital slr home.
Shot through linhof 5x4" view camera.

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.

I tried 510 Pyro for the first time yesterday. I developed a number of sheets of 4x5 and 8x10 in my Jobo CPA-2. I had some trouble with streaking and pinholes. I got the latter mostly under control by changing from an acid stop bath to a fresh water stop. I still got some streaking after that. I may have try it on a faster setting. 510 pyro doesn't seem to build the same level of stain on the negative as PMK, but it's remarkably sharp. The lack of sharpness in this picture is due to camera troubles, not the developer.
The scene here was washed by strong sunlight. I had to burn in the grass to get detail out of it. There was an added difficulty in getting decent tones out of it. I had originally intended to slightly underexpose and then give it an N+1 expansion during development. This would hopefully bring the 3 zone scale up to 5, and I could handle the rest during printing. I bumped the development up to 10 minutes for the N+1. Using a rotary processor bumps up the contrast a little, so I should have stopped at 9 minutes.
Note 10/16/11: I replaced this picture with one a little more tonally pleasing. An unfortunate side effect of this is a loss in sharpness. I'm not good enough with Photoshop yet to fix a negative that is too far away from optimum. I like this scene, and I'll be going there again to try to get it right.
I re-scanned and replaced the image again 1/1/20. Still not sharp, but better contrast and tones.
Camera: Sinar Alpina 4x5.
Lens: 15" Wollensak Tele-Optar. No Filter.

This is version 2 of George - John (course lecturer) demonstrated how to use a different technique in Photoshop to give the image more punch. Full explanation on my blog
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!
