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 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.
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.
Busch Pressman Model D 4x5 Camera - 135mm Raptar lens with a Rapax shutter. 1 second exposure due to an unreliable shutter.
Shanghai sheet film ISO100. Contact print on Ilford Ilfospeed semi-matt Paper RC, grade 3
Graflex Speed Graphic. Ilford FP4 4x5 sheet film. From my first batch of photos taken using large format film. Here, I was testing whether the camera still focused properly (specifically whether the 50+ year-old focusting glass plane still sat where the film would sit when you slid in a film holder.)
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.

Cropped from the 11x14 b&w negative to approx 7x9. This is the second of two 11x14's we shot of Doris that day.

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.
