Film: Portra 400 4x5
Portrait of friend that stopped by.
I had to severely crop this image because the bottom half of the negative was blocked by bellow sag. The bellows in the camera sagged to the point where they blocked some of the light hitting the negative. It's happened a couple of times and it's annoying.
I shot some on b&w film as well. But those are in the fridge waiting to be developed.
Strobist: SB910 with small soft box camera right. SB700 as a kicker camera left. Trigger: Pocket Wizards in TTL mode.
There is no shutter on this camera. Exposures are made by removing the lens cap and replacing it after the required time has passed.
For this picture, in a convex mirror, it did not matter that I was unavoidably in shot for the brief moments required to remove and replace the cap for the 2 minute exposure. My presence was not recorded as I waited out of view to replace the lens cap.

Got to invite lovely friend Hannah to Jay Javier's studio after a few non-handsome dudes have been dicking around with the 5x7 view camera. Shot this one from the session myself, and blame the soft focus effect to this being my first ever shot in large format. Lit with studio lights, shot through an Industar-51 210mm lens on Ilford Photographic Paper.

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.
Tolsta Beach - Taken around mid day on a very warm sunny day, took this photo,whilst the kids were playing. I did like impression the brackish water had on the sand.

Shot for an accessories brochure for BMW on a 10x8 camera decades before Photoshop became ubiquitous. It is made up of three elements: the roller skate and wheels were shot in one studio on one transparency. The car was then shot on another transparency with exactly the same tilt/shift to give it the same perspective. These two shots, and an Australian sunset shot were combined by a team of genius retouchers working for several days. Of course, photography was affected by the computer age, but Photoshop completely annihilated the retouching industry worlwide. I remember the retouching invoice for this one shot was ÂŁ1200, or several month's wages.
The first successful shot. F11, 12 seconds, Arista Ortho Litho 4x5 film. ISO about 50? Developed in Kodak Polymax.
Shot off a little light table and digitally inverted in GIMP.
