Taking portraits in Central Park with the large format camera in the rain, interesting experience.
The dark area at the top is a result of extreme camera movements to attain the selective panel of focus.
kodak portra 160 developed in unicolor c41 kit. digital capture with olympus epl1 and inversion + color correction in photoshop/lightroom.
the orange color bleed may be the result of non flat film capture or exceeding the DR of the film.
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.
Fomapan 400 5x7 inch sheet film, cut down to half plate size (4ž x 6½ inches). Developed in Rodinal 1+25 for 5 minutes.
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.
There was a time in my 20's when I cared for nothing but pure photography, warm darkrooms and cigarettes. Women and alcohol seldom interupted those pure thoughts. Art came first, and I was a very studious naive bachelor right up until I was knocked on the head by love.
Heres an image with one of the many cameras I owned. I was shooting 8x10inch , 6x9cm , 6x7cm, 6x6cm and sometimes 35mm back then. Working in a camera store by day meant I owned a large number of camera's for short periods of time trying them out . Everything was freely available working for one of the country's largest second hand and new dealers with thousands of square feet of toys to play with.
I'm not sure how much it weighs, my kitchen scale doesn't go that high. The lens, along with the brass lens I received last Friday, is off at the machinist's right now getting a retaining ring made. I'll try and shoot a test shot tomorrow, although until I figure out a shutter it may be hard to test the wide open characteristics.
I bought the brass lens for how it will look on a wooden camera. I bought this lens for how the photos it will captures should look.
I'm assuming this lens has a bit more coverage than my Nikkor 300mm f/9. And on an 8x10 the depth of field should be really narrow for some interesting portraits.
Note: A new retaining ring is going to cost in excess of 50% of what I paid for the lens! No more purchases for a while, I have enough to play with. But I did get this lens for a real sweet price.
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.
