"Awakened from Slumber"
This image is one of my favorites from my recent Winter Zion / Bryce Canyon trip. I feel it brings together the aspects I love about large format film. The dynamic range of the image is insane, with everything from snow in full sunlight to tree bark in full shadow, to a silhouetted tree with incredible shadow detail. I love the subtle blues reflected from the blue sky above showing in the shaded snow in the foreground, contrasted against the warm orange tones of the iron-rich erosion soil on the hill in the background. Every pixel of the image is razor sharp and in perfect focus, and the color palette is perfectly natural without overemphasizing any one element.
This is a Cottonwood silhouetted against the adjacent bank of the Virgin river in Zion Canyon. This scene only existed for a matter of minutes, as a few minutes before this exposure the entire scene was in full shade, including the background, and a few minutes after, the tree and foreground were in full blinding sunlight. The image was made possible by two things: a soft-edge 2-stop ND graduated filter, and color negative film. I used a batch of expired Fujifilm NPS 160 from 2003 that I found on eBay. It was $20 for a most of a 50-sheet box! I was pleasantly surprised and impressed by this film. It produced the best results of the entire trip, and it seemed to be perfectly exposed in all the lighting conditions I could throw at it. It has an incredible dynamic range and a perfectly natural color palette with gentle contrast. It's a shame @fujifilm discontinued this amazing film. I wish they would take a cue from @kodak and re-release it!

That is the result of an experiment i did earlyer in the year with my large format camera: it's a pano made of two 6x7 shots, so more or less a 6x14 pano (with about 200 megapixels) :)
It isn't perfect, but i will try out this method again!

Recognized as the oldest surviving train station in Ontario, the King City Station is part of the original track that ran from Toronto to Collingwood and was among the first stations built using local labour. The station became a prototype and template for FW Cumberland, and many other stations were made to this same spec. The station was never replaced and saw continued use under Grand Trunk and Canadian National until 1967 when passenger service ceased. The station fell into disrepair, and King City got a couple of offers to salvage the station, including Black Creek Pioneer Village. Eventually, the local King Twp. Museum rescued the station in 1989, where it remains today.

I was out trying to catch a few waves at Boiler Bay in January. I had the Deardorff along, and took a few 8x10's. I'm now working on my development issues. I used the developer FA-1027 on this one. There is a ltiile unevenness, which is noticeable in the sky. I have two more to develop. I will use 510-Pyro on those. I will use a presoak with a pinch of Sodium Metaborate as a test. Hopefully, Those will be more evenly developed.
Camera: Deardorff V8
Lens: 19" Goerz APO Artar

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.
Technical details:
Burke and James 5x7" large format field camera with 4x5 reducing back.
15" (380mm) Bausch & Lomb triplet brass lens.
Ilford FP4+ B&W fim shot at 125 ISO.

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!

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.
