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.
Exposed on FPP Mummy 400 using Pacemaker Speed Graphic + Ektar 127/4.7 lens; developed in HC-110 for 12 min @ 68˚F.
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.
Oops. Got this one well wrong. I was messing around trying to correct the lighting rig hanging from the ceiling. I'd shot this one sheet and looked at the front standard and it was all over the place. Ahem. I'd reset everything to zero, whilst coughing and spluttering. Dialled in a bit of movements. And managed to save the day. If you study the large version you can clearly see how far off i was with my corrections. And how far off the plane of focus was/is.
This was developed in Rodinal 1+200 for 1hr 45mins. I reckon it could have done with some mild agitation towards the end and maybe 15mins more.
Edit: It was a church hall with huge windows either side. That's why some of their clothes are a little lighter. Man. I'd loved to have borrowed some Arris and controlled the light coming into the hall. Maybe oneday.

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.
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.

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.
