Well the 4x10 is finally finished. As with most of my project cameras, it is a compilation of bits and pieces from around the house, and the web. The focus rail and lens support is from a Fuji GX680, the lens board assembly comes from a a Polaroid copy camera, the bellows are modified from a Beselar 45 enlarger, the back is a Kodak Empire 8x10 back that has been split and converted to 4x10. I did make the wooden box that ties it all together from scratch. The camera will accommodate lenses from 120mm Super Angulon through a 240mm, though I think based on past experience, the 210 Nikkor that I have mounted will work just fine.
I just got the circa 1916 Bausch & Lomb 15 inch triplet brass lens back together again after cleaning it all up and reconditioning it and mounted it on a lens board. I stuck it on the Burke and James 5x7 with a 4x5 reducing back and went looking for a test subject. We've been having freezing rain all day today so going outside wasn't an option so I grabbed one of our garden statues from next to the pond and brought it inside next to a window and created this image. The lens doesn't have a shutter so I tried out the world famous, patented "Jim Galli Shutter" as shown in this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Baa8Bwnn9Sk Surprisingly, it worked really well. I took two shots like this and the exposure on each was right in the correct range of 1/30th (ish) at the lens's wide open aperture of approximately F6.7.
Now I just need to cure the issue with the rear standard on the Burke and James traveling on me while inserting the film holders and throwing things back out of focus. I'll have to pick up a set of clamps to lock the standard in place. It's too bad the locks that came with the camera are completely worthless as designed.

I was out and about with the Deardorff in late November. The sky was a bit blank, but it wasn't bad other than that. The shadows on the hills are pretty good.
I'm still having a little trouble with uneven development, but it's getting better.

This is my first large format photograph. It's something of a test shot, to prove that this 50+ year old camera still works ok.
It was taken on a huge road trip in South Australia recently, with my partner in crime woutervandevoorde.
I'm amazed by the sharpness and level of detail! I keep scrolling around in the zoom. I found a spider hanging from a frond, and you can clearly see every opening in the mesh roof.
There's quite a lot of motion blur from a gust of wind just as I pulled the cable release, but I don't think you should see too much of that at this resolution.
I wish I'd scanned it at a higher density, but at 100 megapixels and 450Mb, the file's already a bit much for my computer to handle :)
Dust spotting took forever! and attempts at detailed colour correction were too much to even consider.
I took the same photo on my medium format and on the Ricoh digital. The dynamic range on the large format absolutely smashes both of those others like you wouldn't believe.
Anyway, if I get near a big enough scanner sometime soon I'll post a couple of the other 4x5 photos I took, so hopefully more to come!

Ever since arriving at Wuyishan I had envisioned to shoot an image of the tea plantations scattered throughout the national park area. So after a couple of scouting sessions I settled on this location. This scene was really better suited for sunset light but I do not regret my choice shooting this at sunrise. The low fog was persistent that morning while the high cloud cover opened up briefly to allow some light on the peak in the distance. I couldn't have asked for more.
The shot was made using the Rodenstock Apo-Sironar-S 240mm f/5.6 with a 2-stop soft grad. The film used was Foampan 100, home developed in ADOX Rodinal 1+25 dilution then scanned on an Epson V850 flatbed.
Rollei RPX-25, 4" x 5", 25 iso, Normal development in Perceptol developer, 1:1, 8:45minutes, 24C. Taken April 2017. Ebony SV45TU. Rodenstock Grandagon-N 90mm.
Abandoned Farmhouse, Lamont County.
This picture was shot with a Kodak Master 8x10" view camera and the legendary Super Angulon 165mm lens on Fuji AD-M xray film. The exposure lasted 140 minutes at f/8.
When I shoot nightscapes, I usually choose the day I'll go out taking into account the phase of the Moon.
You can't imagine the illumination even a 4 day moon gives to the foreground when you do hour(s) long exposures.
On Sunday it was a new Moon, so the foreground turned out almost completely dark.
The camera was facing NE towards the rising constellation of Perseus.
It was developed for 30'min in an 11x14 flat bottom tray in 60ml RO9 and 75ml FX39II in a liter of distilled water at 24°C.
The negative is rather thin, but with scanning and post processing, this image emerges.
The image above is a photogravure. This image called "Focusing" by Miss Emily V. Clarkson was printed by the NN Photogravure. company Since we are a couple absorbed in all things photographic we find this couple sharing a darkcloth especially poignant. Why, however, is he wearing that striped coat and cap?

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.

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 :-)

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.

"You asked so now it's show and tell! Yes you see a pinhole on the table for two reasons: 1. It is a cheap way for a person to learn large format photography 2. There is no way to look through the camera, so you have to learn how to "see" the image you are taking without a camera to look through. As for the wide angle camera...I made that one. Friends call it the Clyde-o-wide . It has no bellows, is easy to set up, has great depth of field with a 38mm XL Schneider lens. I call it my point and shoot. And, as for the tiny camera, I also made that one. I graduated in architecture. When I built architectural models I used that camera inside of them and then used those images for design presentations. The camera is the same size as a single piece of 35mm film. I would tape the film in place. Turn out all the lights, place the camera in location then turn on the lights. It has a 24mm cannon rangefinder. I took the lens and put it in a small sleeve with a permanent f/stop." -Clyde Butcher
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.

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.
