Terry has had his work published in B&W Photography Magazine. He was doing a photoshoot of a model using a view camera. I asked to do a portrait of him. Shot using film and a Canon F1N and 85mm F1.8

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.
Camera: Deardorff 8x10
Lens: 12” Goerz Dagor
Film: Ilford Ortho+ rated at 40 ASA and developed in 510-Pyro

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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 :-)
Original shot taken with a Graflex GraphicView View Camera, Raptax 135mm f4,7 lens, Polaroid 550 Back on Fujifilm FP100c 45 instant Film 4x5' format, almost no post processing just scanned.
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".
Camera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera.
Lens: Rodenstock Geronar 150mm F6.3 lens in a Copal 0 shutter.
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.

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.

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.

CN Locomotive 6167 started life in 1940, completed by Montreal Locomotive Works. It is a Northern Type 4-8-4 Locomotive. It spent the early part of its career in Eastern Canada, running troops, munition, and supply trains to support the allied war effort in Europe. In 1943, they survived a head-on collision with another locomotive. Both were repaired and returned to service to support the war. Following the war, it continued to serve as a mixed-use locomotive. In 1961 it was retired from service and brought to Ontario as a tourist locomotive and earned fame as the most photographed locomotive in Canada. However, its usefulness was short, ending in 1964 due to extensive repairs needed and the end of the tourist service by CNR. Sadly the locomotive languished, painted every so often, and by the 1990s had been set on fire and vandalized. Efforts to preserve the locomotive started in 2002 and, by 2020, now fully restored, was moved to a new home in John Galt Park, where it sits today. It would end up in Guelph in 1967, donated by CNR to the city for Canada's Centennial.

December 2020.
Viewcamera with a I-51 21cm 4.5 Lens as seen in the window of the Ringfoto shop in Kevelaer (D).
So determining the lens was easy, it is a Russian Industar lens.
Determining the viewcamera is however something else. More information welcome !
The viewcamera is probably a Soviet build FKD 13x18.
The writing on the little piece of white paper is quite funny, freely translated this is written :
- No Sensor
- No Autofocus
- No Scene selection
- But for that you can have hours long exposure times
