Per fi puc fotografiar decentment en format 4x5 amb un objectiu petzval realment antic, gràcies a la Sinar P i el seu obturador central de gran format Sinar-Copal.
Fotografia feta amb una Sinar P, fabricada cap als anys 70; objectiu petzval Derogy de llautó, fabricat cap a 1872-1880; Fomapan 100.
========================
I can finally shoot decently film in 4x5 format with a really old petzval lens, thanks to the Sinar P and its Sinar-Copal large format central shutter.
Picture taken with a Sinar P 4x5 camera, manufactured around the 70s; brass petzval Derogy lens, made circa 1872-1880; Fomapan 100.
back when I worked at my local photo store in 2021, we'd frequently inherit estate's worth of gear from photographers that had passed away. This particular hoard of large format 4 x 5 negatives, originally destined for the dumpster, contains heaps of divinely-inspired boudoir shots by Brooks Dutt circa 1950.

I’m taking my first steps into large format landscape photography. I’m not very happy with the results yet. It’s a lot harder than I expected. 😅

This is the very first image I made upon arriving in Zion. As I explored the winter wonderland of Zion National Park shortly after this winter storm, this area was one of the first I encountered. This stand of Pines cloaked in the icy veil of winter formed a striking contrast against the vivid orange sandstone canyon wall in the background. Snow had accumulated on the cliff ledges, forming alternating stripes of orange and white, with the blue sky subtly reflected in the white snow on the evergreens rounding out the color palette.
To get a sense of scale, look at the tree growing on the wall in the left center of the frame, above the 2nd Pine tree. That tree is about the same size as the trees in the foreground - about 40 feet tall! That tree is a marvel in itself, growing out of almost nothing on the narrow cliff ledge. The wall is hundreds of feet tall, and is at least a hundred plus feet behind the trees. I am standing about 3 feet away from the trees on a hillside, standing in about a foot of fresh powder. This place is truly magical in winter!

“We do not want merely to see beauty... we want something else which can hardly be put into words- to be united with the beauty we see, to pass into it, to receive it into ourselves, to bathe in it, to become part of it. That is why we have peopled air and earth and water with gods and goddesses, and nymphs and elves.”
– C. S. Lewis

Today’s Collodion tintype test with Lars.
This is UV Photographics new X formula collodion (very fast compared to OWH!) and I’m also testing a new magic lantern lens a friend has offered me. I estimate it to be about f8. No waterhouse stops - just wide open chromatic aberration goodness.
Exposure was 6 seconds in open shade, cloudy November conditions.
On my walk today I saw a teasel partly opened so I took one home and cut it half to photograph on X ray film (with my New Countess 10x8 camera from 1890). F45, 40s. Photographed and inverted in Photoshop Very pleased with the way this has come out

Shot with Fomapan 200 with an orange filter. Quite a difficult shot to get in camera. I had to tilt the camera up then straighten the standards with a spirit level to get the verticals right.
Walking through this place was one of the most peaceful and enjoyable things I've had the pleasure of experiencing. The juxtaposition of vivid leaves with warm desert tones and geology makes an unusually beautiful combination. I love this scene because it captures an incredibly ephemeral moment in time. The wash had just been flooded, leaving the sand wet and forming gorgeous ripple and wave patterns. The vivid leaves fell onto the sand and rested there. A few days earlier, there would have been dry, loose sand and no leaves. A few days later, and there would be dry, loose sand and a bunch of dry, dead, colorless leaves.
This was a rather precarious scene to capture. I used my Intrepid 4x5 view camera, and view cameras are designed to be used perfectly level. They have a flat "bed" on which are mounted two moving "standards," one holding the film, and the other holding the lens, connected by a fabric bellows in between. Tipping that assembly on end so it faces the ground puts all the weight on the standard mounts, which aren't made to support it. It also makes viewing the dim ground glass under a focusing hood very difficult, as I had to lean out over the top of the tripod, which was balanced spread over these leaves, trying not to ruin the delicate mud with footprints or shadow, while focusing on the reversed & inverted ground glass. Then it began to rain! I was in a flash flood wash, where 7 people were suddenly killed by a flash flood a couple years ago. I hurriedly finished the image, and ran to high ground to wait out the rain before getting back to work.
By all means, zoom in and pan around. I don't make these things to be consumed as thumbnails!
