Karlos No.55 6x9 fixed flat bed SLV & Topcor Horseman 105mm f3.5 in a Seiko-SLV shutter. Cloth bellows, with lift, swing and tilt on the front and on the back, rise (giving fall on the front). Reversing back with the baby graflok fit. Horseman 6x9 film back.
This camera was going to be No.57 but I have had a bit of an accident. I have lost a bit of a finger building two pincams and getting blood out of wood is not easy, so I have abandoned the two pincams I was working on. Thus No57 has become Karlos No.55 :-)

"Banana Nutella"
I came across this scene while exploring a wash looking for compositions at 4:30pm on day 3 of my Zion fall color trip. This scene was tricky, as I had to balance the rear of the tripod on a boulder at an awkward angle to fit it in position for this image, and the camera had to be angled downwards to it was facing almost straight down. Aiming straight down without getting the tripod legs in the shot, I managed to focus and compose on the ground glass by leaning in over the top of the camera. I did not touch anything.
I love the way this scene showcases the beautiful design of nature. Both the design of leaves and the water flow patterns on a particulate like sand are dictated by the principles of fractal mathematics. The branches reach outwards from the tree in a determined way. By these principles, the twigs fork from the branches, the leaves from the twigs, and the veins from the stem – all dictated by formulas coded in the DNA. Many of these formulas utilize the Fibonacci sequence, the same principle on which the "Rule of Thirds" and the "Golden Ratio" in artistic composition were founded. The patterns in the mud ripples are determined by similar laws, coded into the fabric of the universe itself. Further, the black patterns in the mud are formed by the laws of gravity and mass pulling more dense particulates downwards into the valleys. All sand and mud forms these patterns, even on other planets, across various water or wind sources and types of mud and sand. Clouds follow similar laws and form similar patterns when shaped by wind. These intricate systems of tightly interrelated laws all work together in perfect harmony to form one united, cohesive, beautiful system that we call nature.

As we drove the 4x4 up this narrow dirt mountain road, this scene stopped us in our tracks, and I stopped to make an image looking down the ravine and into the creek bed through the Aspens and other trees in the peak of autumn color.
This one was a tricky negative to scan. The Kodak Ektar 100 did a pretty good job of capturing the wide dynamic range and rather harsh light of the scene, but when scanned the colors and levels were very tricky to get right and the image proved difficult to work with. However, the very accurate natural colors of the scene were definitely contained in the negative! I just had to make the dumb computer preserve them. Hopefully, this version does this beautiful and quiet mountain scene at least some justice! :)

I also made a color exposure of this interesting plant under the illumination from the warm light of the 'Golden Hour'; but with the second exposure still remaining on that film holder I will not have that one developed for another few days. I hope that exposure came out well.

Given the strong agricultural background of Trafalgar Township, the earliest industries in Oakville were mills, with the Sixteen Mile Creek becoming home to many mills from the Dundas Road to Speers Road. While there are no real remains of any of those mills. But this steam fly wheel from Oakville Basket Company reminds both of Oakville's industrial and agricultural past.

Cold winter sunrise in Wisconsin along the Mississippi River. It was a below zero morning on a clear day. I was shooting the frozen marshes along the Upper Mississippi River. This was shot on my Arca-Swiss 4x5 camera with a Nikon 210mm lens and Velvia 50. Probably a 2 or 3 stop ND grad to hold back the sky. Gitzo tripod.
I love those cold mornings one gets in the north woods.
Just finished making a brass mounting flange for this lens and mounting it on a 6x6 board. Fortunately it has 24tpi threads.
Aperture stops are 5.5, 7.7, 9, 12.5, 18, 25, 36, 50. The lens has some cleaning marks and a bit of haze but is in remarkable condition considering it's age. Next I need to make front and rear lens caps.
I knew from the outset what I wanted to do, but getting there was a challenge. After getting everything set up, I found that my new Linhof Technikardan is not Fuji Instant film holder friendly, so I switched to the trusty Linhof Technika and reset everything.

This is one of my earliest large format color images. It's from November 2007. The negative leaves a lot to be desired, but I cleaned it up as best as I could. My next step in color film photography is to move to wet scanning, and get a better scanning program. I'm looking at Silverfast Ai Suite 8. I checked out Vuescan, but it doesn't have the features.

I took this picture in May of 2012 on a trip to the Oregon Coast. It was the last trip I took with my Volvo because it caught on fire the next week. That car's replacement has yet to suffer a similar fate. The Volvo actually survived, but I didn't feel safe driving it after that, and I didn't want to sink the money into it to fix the problem.
I posted this picture as a reminder Spring will be here in just a few months, and that everything looks better when the leaves are green, and the water is warm.

I find this area so full of mystery where the Anasazi Indians lived in the spot at Four Corners in the American Southwest. Some stories say that they believe that the Anasazi were in this area at about the time that Christ was born. Their cliff dwelling homes were a fortress against their enemies as they had to climb down the cliffs and then would pull their ladders down preventing anyone from following. There are different stories about why they left, weather could have been a contributing reason. But, I gotta say, if I had to take my groceries down this way I would have headed to the city pronto.
If you look closely you can see the tour groups which gives a perspective to the size.
Rolling out of the Montreal Locomotive Works in 1910, T,H&B Locomotive 103 is a 2-8-0 Consolidation locomotive that operated mainly as a freight hauler between Hamilton and Welland. In its fourty-four years of service it never had an accident. Retired in 1954 it lived in Hamilton's Gage Park from 1956-1977 when it was moved to its current home at Westfield Heritage Village.

This was taken in October 2020 in the shadow of Rowena Crest along the Historic Columbia River Highway. I’ve said it before, but Oregon’s dry side has become my favorite place in the world.
This would be an exquisite negative if my camera didn’t still have some light leaks that I still haven’t plugged. There are two lines of flare that run top to bottom. I corrected them in Photoshop, but it will be hard to print in the darkroom. I may try to use a reducer to eliminate them.
I used 510-Pyro as the developer, and the detail and tonal range just blows me away. If it weren’t for the light leaks, this would be the finest negative I have ever produced.
A word about 8x10 film. There is a depth here that can’t be gotten with a 35mm sensor. You really have to look at this on a computer monitor, and not a smart phone.

Opened in 1908, the Oakville-Trafalgar Memorial High School is a stunning historic building with a rather sad ending. The students of the school served the the war efforts by growing crops on the sports fields or served in the military. As the population grew, so did the school becoming a warren of hallways and rooms. By 1988 the school was too old to continue and a new school opened in 1992. The additions were stripped away, leaving only the original building standing.

When Canadian Northern Railways (CNoR) finally reached Toronto they began construction of a massive operations yard in Leaside, north-west of Toronto. Opening in 1916 the yards did not remain in CNoR hands for long as the company defaulted and went bankrupt in 1919. The yard remained in operation under Canadian National control after 1923, but the opening of the new Union Station in 1927 and establishment of the main Toronto CNR yards in the rail lands spelled the end for the short lived yard. Closed in 1935, several buildings, save the original locomotive shops were demolished. It saw a second life in 1941 as a warehouse and storage for E.S & A Robinson Canada a paper product manufacturer and then continued use under Winpack. The plant closed in 2005, and sat abandoned for several years until being renovated and restored as a Longo's Grocery Store.
