Behind-the-scenes: Photographing sheep with a Chamonix F-2 4x5 near St. Ignatius, MT. The sheep were convinced I was up to no good. It took an hour of standing still under my darkcloth to get them to relax so I could take the photo.
This 19th century die-cut, chromolithograph of a family being photographed with a large field camera was bought on a trip to England.

Photo taken in 2005, developed now 2009, forgot it in a film box :) The film is scanned with a normal flatbed scanner, so some shadows show up, got to make a contact print when I have time and scan it. I took the photo early in the morning, was there at more or less at sunrise, after dragging the tripod, backpack with my cameras and lenses and the Graflex with its film holders..., taking photos is 99% hard work, 1% pleasure :Þ

One of my birthday gifts is a large-format camera, so old it's made of leather and hardwood. I need to learn how to use it, but it does work. Sorry for the weird focus....it's really hard to focus on a reflection I can't see!
...Another birthday gift was a head cold. I turn 25 tomorrow. Right now I'm so feverish I'm sweating. I don't sweat. I can feel the sweat pouring out of my pores. It's gross. I can tell that tomorrow I'll be almost immobile.

I stumbled across this gnarled and weathered stump whilst searching for lichens to photograph. My initial thought was to use black and white film. However, as I studied the composition, I was not convinced that a black and white shot would do justice to the subtle shades of blue, a result of the subject being in shadow, lit only by the open sky. My choice of colour film was either Velvia RVP 50 or Provia 100. In the end I decided to use Provia for its reciprocity characteristics and more subtle colour palette. Composing and focusing to ensure optimal sharpness across the frame proved to be quite a challenge because of the relief of the stump and in the end it took nearly a hour to get to the final composition. The original transparency is approximately 1/2 life size reproduction.
My first attempt to process my own sheet film. While I have a image I don't like the results. I believe I have a light leak and need to take care of that before I waste any more film.
New York City Easter Parade 2018
The NYC Easter Parade is a great opportunity to do portraits of fabulously dressed people in the street.
Earlier today, sporting a handheld 1930's Graflex RB large format camera and a bunch of film holders I enjoyed myself and made some new friends...
Here's some of the results, just out of the darkroom….
Happy Easter to all !!
As I was about to take a picture of the person using an old large format camera with hood and black & white film, a lady with her two children and dog walked in front of this person and took the same picture of the waterfall using her cell phone.
- New and old way to take pictures in the same photo, and I only had seconds to take this photo before the lady left. The man under the hood was still setting up his picture.
This was taken at the lowest of the Triple Falls in Dupont State Forest, North Carolina.
Here is another picture of this person taking notes about the photo he just took: www.flickr.com/photos/31155442@N03/46178767105/in/datepos...

This is not my camera, It's one of my friend's collection and I thought it's really one of the most interesting and oldest antique camera I ever seen
The view camera is a type of camera first developed in the era of the Daguerreotype (19th Century) and still in use today, though with many refinements. It comprises a flexible bellows which forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable standards, one of which holds a lens, and the other a viewfinder or a photographic film holder.[2]
The bellows is a flexible, accordion-pleated box, which encloses the space between the lens and film, and has the ability to flex to accommodate the movements of the standards.[3]
The front standard is a board at the front of the camera which holds the lens and, usually, a shutter.
At the other end of the bellows, the rear standard is a frame which holds a ground glass, used for focusing and composing the image before exposure, which is replaced by a holder containing the light-sensitive film, plate, or image sensor for exposure. The front and rear standards can move in various ways relative to each other, unlike most other types of camera, giving control over focus, depth of field and perspective.
The camera must have some means of support, usually provision for mounting it on a tripod.

The Devils Golf Course is a large salt pan in Death Valley. It was named after a 1934 NPS guide book that said, "Only the devil would play golf on it's surface". Studies suggest that the salt and gravel beds extend to a depth of more than 1,000 feet.
That is a lot of salt...In fact you could get hypertension just looking at all this salt!
