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.

William Henry Jackson shot the gang of fourteen USGS "1870 United States Hayden Geological Survey." The camera must have had a timer mechanism or there is a member of the party missing. It looks like they were heading further west following the completion of the Union Pacific. The plate was inscribed "20 EXPEDITION OF 1870." I am making this a parting Jackson series shot for now.
The USGS description: Wyoming. Group of all the members of the Survey, made while in camp at Red Buttes (downstream from Pathfinder reservoir) at the junction of the North Platte and Sweetwater Rivers. Standing left to right: John "Potato John" Raymond and "Val," cooks; Sanford R. Gifford, landscape painter; Henry W. Elliott, artist; James Stevenson, assistant; H.D. Schmidt, naturalist; E. Campbell Carrington, zoologist; L.A. Bartlett, General assistant; William Henry Jackson, photographer. Sitting left to right: C.S. Turnbull, secretary; J.H. Beaman, meteorologist; Ferdinand.V. Hayden, geologist in charge; Cyrus Thomas, agriculturist; Raphael, hunter; A.L. Ford, mineralogist. 1870. U.S. Geological and Geographical Survey of the Territories (Hayden Survey).
Apparently A.L. Ford, mineralogist was also a knife expert and is carving up a chunk of venison nagged by Raphael, hunter. The company's two doggies seem uninterested in the carcas. Was the carcass was a bit gamey?. Perhaps they already got their fill. I surely hope that they cleaned the prairie grass around the field stove. The gang's horses seemed to revel in the lush Wyoming territorial grasses.

On Gansevoort Street I ran into a well know photographer named Robert Kalman. What he is doing here at Flickr is interesting and the same project he was working on when I ran into him on Saturday.
I've lusted after the rosewood and leather of Deardorff for so long that instead of documenting Robert Kalman at work, I asked if I could take pictures of the camera.

Gaia and I drove out to the Salmon River Road (near Mt. Hood) today to do a little scouting for pictures. It was raining, so we weren't going to go very far. We went down to the river at a few spots, and I decided to get a 4x5 camera out to test how a new film handles zone system expansion. The day was overcaset and very low contrast. I wanted to see if I could bring out some highlights. I rated the film at 50ASA to double exposure and bring out the shadows. Then I developed at N+1, which for which I use 20% increased developing time. It seems to have worked. The whites in the tree and on the rock were not there in real life. I actually had to cut down on the contrast to make it more pleasing, despite using no contrast filter when I took the picture. On the whole, I'd say it was a success.

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.

Burlington's second oldest Church is St. John's. Built to serve the rural community of Nelson along the Dundas Road, it has always been an extension of St Luke's in the downtown. The parish still worships in their original building and only became a single-point charge in the 1980s.

This stand of Aspen adorned in peak fall color makes for an incredibly peaceful spot to relax and take in autumn sights and smells high in the crisp mountain air of the Eastern Sierra.
This is one of the first large format images from my Intrepid 4x5 view camera, and represents a major leap in quality for my work. The aesthetic quality, immense resolution, and fine grain structure of large format film give the images a look and a quality level that really shines in large prints and must be seen in person to be truly appreciated. I love the way the Velvia rendered this peaceful stand of Aspens high in the Eastern Sierra Nevada.

A fortunate combination of beautiful red light filtered by clouds on the eastern horizon ignites the Towers of the Virgin in Zion National Park with vivid neon orange alpenglow minutes after sunrise, flanked by some low-hanging clouds on the western horizon.
For this image, I take no artistic credit whatsoever. This is simply my own personal execution of a very popular composition of the cliffs known as the "Towers of the Virgin" in Zion National Park. There were about 20 other photographers set up at this spot when I made this image. I was, however, the only one working in film, let alone a wooden 4x5" view camera, and that garnered some puzzled stares and an array of questions from curious onlookers. As for why I went to this spot at all, well, lets just say I wanted to experience a sunrise at Towers of the Virgin at least once in my life, and since I was going to be there with my large format camera in the truck anyway, I figured I may as well take it out and make an image. So here it is.
Specifically, it was Alan Brock's image, "New Beginning" (Check it out here: www.alanbrockimages.com/lozopvezj0rtw46vwayzegse1jcr…) that motivated me to come out here and make this one. So I suppose I will give direct credit to him. He is another 4x5 large format film landscape photographer. I got to meet and spend some time with him while in Zion also, which was very fortunate, as he lives in Tennessee, which is around 2500 miles from where I live!
This is one of 3 total exposures I made on this scene. I made one on Fuji Velvia 100, which was fried, and two on Kodak Ektar 100, both of which came out great. So then I simply selected the one with the best light on the towers and scanned it, the result of which you see here.

In the earliest days of colonisation of Upper Canada, a settlement relied on the Postal Service to communicate with the outside world. So when your community recieved a post office, you knew you were an established community. Oakville's first post office served from 1835 to 1856. The building was moved from the Southwest corner of Navy & Lakeshore in 1952 and restored as part of the early formation of the Oakville Historical Society.

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.

An old Texaco Fire Chief gas pump provides a nice foreground element for this Autumn scene I shot on 11-2-2013 at the Berks Heritage Center in Reading, Pennsylvania. Texaco introduced the "Fire Chief" brand in 1932 with claims that the purity and octane levels met the requirements for fire engines. In 1982 they re-branded the line of gasoline as "Texaco Regular".

Exposure: 1/8th @ F11. Metered with Pentax 1 degree spot meter.
Film: Kodak Ektar 100 C41 Color Negative Film
Development: Self Developed film using Tetenal C41 color development press kit in a Paterson Universal Tank using taco method, hung on shower curtain to dry on film clips.
Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two scans and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass.
Viewing this photo online does it no justice. There is so much detail in this shot it's just wasted on a compressed JPG viewed in a browser. Large format film is such a beautiful thing when you shoot it and process it right.

FAQ:
- How?
- I was walking on ice with my dog, for sure I walked just one step on ice then I was thinking about destiny and about my poor arm...
- Is it painful?
- Enough but everyday a little less
- How will you do without shooting for one month?
- Here the answer :-)

This is from a scan of the negative with some adjustments in Silver Efex Pro.

This was a really, really hard photograph to make. I think I'm gonna retake it in brighter light, because this was a two minute exposure, and the negative was still so thin.
Looks slightly better on black.

While not a bad set, they certainly aren't my favourites. But I don't completely blame the developer. I was shooting a hard light, often falling directly on the subject. I still get some mid-tones, but it is significantly compressed. The grain is low, but edge sharpness is retained.
