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.

This is my first Cyanotype, and the Emulsion coating is definitely poorly done.
Cropped from the 11x14 b&w negative to approx 7x9. This is the second of two 11x14's we shot of Doris that day.
ramblin'...
I haven't been my usual consistent self on flickr or my blog lately - I've even somewhat neglected the TtV group. Real life has kept my old ass pretty busy of late.
I'm feeling tired. No bones about it, life currently seems a bit overwhelming. I'm still in love with Art *and* Photography. I just can't seem to find enough time each day to devote to each.
My monotype-printmaking 'studio' is nearing completion, I've entered into a very cool collaboration with my friend Lisa and I've even started paying attention to the blurfection blog once again. I really wish I didn't have to go to work every day. But I gotta pay for all these toys somehow! Reality SUCKS.
That said, I'm quite excited about venturing into the world of Large Format! Seeing incredible work by the likes of BosseB, my friends Trask, e, and the awesome Joshua Black Wilkins (among many others) has me hopeful about what might be the pinnacle of my photographic journey.
Stay tuned.
First attempt using the zone system to meter, and it worked pretty well. Shot with HP5+ and a Busch Pressman.
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 £1200, or several month's wages.

Seneca view camera

Charlie Graf comments: This is not a Seneca Model 9. Nor is it a true view camera (in spite of its name). It does not have front tilt, so it is really just a field camera.
My pocket4x5inch pinhole camera, almost finished, just needs a shutter. For the moment as can be seen I'm using a low fi paper shutter...
-------------------------------------------------
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 :
Paper negative shot taken to test out a 'new' camera. The very crude framing is due to trying to cut the enlarging paper to size in the dark with a pair of scissors. Will need to make a template for next time.
