From Sunday's Live Draw event. Was doing instant oilgraph portraits and these were the negs that came from them. I mounted and painted the polaroids and either sold them outright or put them out for auction.
Most of these were portraits of the patrons at the event.
Haven't shot 4x5 in years. It's like shooting with a cow, but I began to get my stride soon. I wasn't going to add any of these actually since it's not my usual thing and a bit more static that I am used to, but I figured why not.
One light in medium soft box. Shot on Polaroid Type 55 positive/negative 4x5 film.

MPP Micro Technical 5 x 4 and Schneider Kreuznach Xenar 1:4.5/150mm, Fomapan 100, f11 at 1/50 sec. Scanned with Epson Perfection V800.
Another shot taken on Cayman's Mastic Trail, the largest contiguous area of untouched, old-growth forest in Grand Cayman - an area where the woodland has been evolving undisturbed for the last two million years. It houses all manner of wildlife - exotic native birds, hermit crabs, frogs, snakes and one or two mosquitoes. This day, there were parts of the trail were littered with fallen fruit from wild mango trees.
Another early AM shooting session, experimenting with Arista Ultra 100 shot at box speed. Fairly wide light capture here with somewhat harsh shadows and cloudless sky. This combination doesn't quite pull out the details in the shadows as much as I'd like, despite some very favorable comments about this film with D76. Will likely go back to Xtol in the next round.

Tree and Path in Light and Shadow (Hyons Wood). Walker Titan SF with Nikkor 65mm lens, 1/8 sec @ f22, Ilford Delta 100 in HC110G
35mm & 120 transparency, taped together and photographed in a 10x8 large format camera.
Owing to my continued trouble acquiring a new scanner, and acknowledging that when I do get one this work'll still be horrendously awkward to scan, I taped them to the window and took a few shots. This is what I've been working on of late, an advancement of my Together/Apart series. Still very much a work in progress.
Bulldog 4x5 with Rodenstock apo-sironar 150mm f5.6, 1/8 sec @ f45, Fomapan 100 in Rodinal @ 1+200 for 30 min
This scene has such a magical dream-like quality to it for me. The leaves on the trees glow and almost seem disconnected like they are floating in space like a cloud of glowing fairies. As I made this image, I stood beneath an overhanging weeping wall covered in dripping water, wrapping over me like a cave. The trees were illuminated by sunlight filtering into the depths of the canyon from above and reflected light filled the colossal majestic space.
Details:
This image is a 0.8% sized export of an 180MP scan from a large format film image made on Fuji Velvia 100 with The Intrepid Camera Co. 4x5 Field Camera and my Schneider-Kreuznach 90mm ƒ/8 Super-Angulon lens. 10am, 8s @ ƒ/32, CPL
In other words, this thing will print to 40x50 inches with enough quality that you can put your face right up to it with a magnifying glass and only see more detail. These large format film images contain approximately 20x the level of detail of my digital images made with current generation DSLRs, and I've printed those to 40x60" with good results! This is one of many reasons I am now working in large format film instead of digital. I also prefer the aesthetic qualities of these films. Additionally, the experience of working with the silent elegant simplicity a wooden view camera in the field is so much better than dealing with scrolling menus, flickering lights, and glowing screens while in the wilderness.
By all means, zoom in and pan around. I don't make these things to be consumed as thumbnails!
