ROC Ideal 10x12 camera in clean working condition! I seriously considered whether to spend time trying to clean and polish the brass parts, but in the end decided to leave the brass trim as found. I think the tarnish gives it character. And that was convenient because it would have taken me many, many hours to deal with that.
This camera was manufactured by Rochester Optical Company during the mid-1890s. It came with a Carl Zeiss Jena Protarlinse VII lens, and included 4 10x12 glass plate holders. My plan is to shoot 8x10 paper negs by attaching RC paper to 10x12 glass or plexi.

I could have saved a lot of post-processing time if I had photographed this with a camera that had the tilt and swing adjustments of a view camera. Lacking that, Photoshop provided the horizontal and vertical perspective adjustments I wanted.
A special thank you to Harold Davis for organizing the photo walk that brought me to this location.
Taken looking across to Roosevelt Island as the ice from a a recent freeze was beginning to break-up.
Shot using the front tilt movement of the Linhof to maximize the zone of focus from the nearest edge of the ice to the base of the trees on shore. Even at f/32, depth of field would not have allowed for sharpness across the image.
Image was scanned using an Epson V750 at max resolution. The original image took over half an hour to scan, was 1.2gb in size and measured 96 inches on the long side at 300ppi.

While officially founded in 1852, the Anglican church in Lowville traces itself to non-denominational sabbath schools being held in the historic village by missionary preachers from St. Luke's in Burlington. After outgrowing their original frame structure, the congregation completed their current stone building in 1896. A proper parish hall was opened in 1990. The hymn boards in the sanctuary were fashioned from wood taken from the original sanctuary.

La Gundlach Korona View és una càmera nord-americana de gran format, força lleugera i de gran qualitat.
Aquesta càmera en concret és la Korona View de segón model, fabricada entre 1909 i els anys 30; en tot cas aquesta data d'abans del 1926, ja que la companyia canvià de nom. És de format 5x7 polzades i la vaig comprar amb un objectiu Plaubel Anticomar f4.2 / 210mm montat en un gran obturador Compound; junt amb la càmera anaven tres portaplaques dobles amb el nom del antic propietari, Dr. H. B. Wright. Tot plegat sembla indicar que fou venguda als Estats Units als anys 20 o 30.
És molt curiós perquè la vaig comprar amb la idea exprés de fer-la servir per a fer plaques de col·lodió, i un dels tres portaplaques estava precisament adaptat per a col·lodió (i marcat com a tal).
Per cert, només em vaig adonar a posteriori que havia comprat una càmera que porta per nom KORONA just aquest any 2020.

==================
The Gundlach Korona View is a large format American camera, quite light and built in high quality materials.
This particular item is the 2nd. model Korona View, made between 1909 and the 1930s; but this one was made before changing the name of the company in 1926. It is a 5x7 format camera and I bought it with a Plaubel Anticomar f4.2 / 210mm lens mounted on a large Compound shutter; along with the camera were three double plate holders with the name of the former owner, Dr. H. B. Wright. All this seems to indicate that it was sold in the United States in the early 1920's.
It’s very curious because I bought it with the express idea of using it to make collodion wet plates, and one of the three plate holders was precisely adapted for collodion (and marked as such).
By the way, have you noted that I bought a camera named Korona pricely in this 2020? The year of what...?

The London & Port Stanley Railroad is among the earliest colonial railroads to being operations. Construction started in 1856 and operations began later that year. Originally planned as a short run freight line between the docks at Port Stanley and the London mainly hauling Ohio coal, the line quickly became an easy way for passengers to access the beaches and resorts of Port Stanley. The City of London purchased a controlling share in the early 20th-Century and turned the line into an electrified interurban. Freight service ended in 1932 and passenger service in 1957. Canadian National purchased the line in 1965. Today the St. Thomas to London is operated still by CN, while the Port Stanley to St. Thomas was restored through the 1980s and 1990s to form the Port Stanley Terminal Rail, housing their main yard and station at the historic L&PS Station in Port Stanley.

A great idea can't be dimmed. Created in the days well before Photoshop, this image is how it looked in camera.
My original concept was created for an ad agency as the cover of a retail catalog, it's been my signature image for over 25 years. Friend and assistant Michael Bodycomb (now with the Frick Museum, New York) helped tremendously with the execution to final film.

It was the oil baron's of Petrolia that first brought the railway to Ontario's Victorian Oil Town in 1866. Lead by John H. Fairbanks (of Fairbanks Oil) who together raised the needed funds to build the branch to the Great Western rail head at Wyoming, Ontario. The line opened in 1866 and continued to operate under Grand Trunk after 1882. It wasn't until 1903 that the new Queen Anne Revival Station opened replacing the original wooden station built by Great Western. The brick station reflected the importance of the town's oil industry with a general, lady's and men's waiting rooms, three towers and platforms out the back of the station but perpendicular to the station itself. Canadian National operated the station only four years, closing it in 1927. A decade later it became home to the town library and has remained that way since, receiving a major renovation and restoration in 1998 and being renamed the Robert M. Nicol Memorial Library.

This is a cove on one of the two lakes at Promised Land State Park in Greentown Pennsylvania put on quite a show of Fall color this year. I shot this back on 10-5-2013. I wish there was a more interesting sky on this but what you give up in interestingness you gain in softness of light since the 90% cloud cover acted like a giant softbox spreading low contrast light over the landscape.

Work on the Wellington, Grey & Bruce railway had started back in 1867; the goal was to build a route from Guelph with branches to Southampton and Kincardine. A link into Toronto was provided by Great Western Railway. The line would reach Palmerston in 1871, and a single-storey station was completed. Palmerston would become a central junction for the W,G&B line as here it branched to both Kincardine and Southampton. By 1876 traffic had increased to the point where a second storey was added to the station. W,G&B reached a traffic sharing agreement with GWR in 1873, and GWR purchased a majority share in the corporation in 1876. Although owning the line did not do much for GWR. When Grand Trunk took over GWR in 1882, they got W,G&B at the same time. While they didn't look too kindly on the small route, it did have some use. Palmerston would become an even bigger junction, and soon a massive yard was present. Including coal sheds, a turntable, and a roundhouse. A train from Palmerston would be anywhere in Ontario within an hour. By the turn of the century, Grand Trunk had completed another major renovation, fresh paint and a tower. The tower would burn down in 1912. GTR also built a pedestrian bridge to allow easy crossing of their railyards. CNR continued operations at Palmerston in 1923 and would install a false ceiling in the waiting room during the 1930s. By the mid-century, it covered the exterior with insulbrick and painted the standard CN Red/Maroon. Most of the steam locomotive support structures were demolished in 1959 as diesel locomotives supplanted steam. The last passenger train would leave Palmerston in 1970, the branch was abandoned in 1982, and the last train through was in 1996, and the tracks were torn up. Today the station, saved from demolition and the Pedestrian Bridge, forms a Railway Heritage Museum for the community.

The Third and Current Union Station in Toronto, the first Union Station was completed in 1858 and replaced in 1873. The Second Station by the turn of the 20th Century had become a monstrosity and convinced several other operators to build new separate stations elsewhere in the city. But the Toronto Fire of 1904 and significant changes in railroads in Canada saw Canadian Pacific and Grand Trunk join forces to build the new Union Station. The Toronto Terminal Railway Corporation formed in 1906 under a joint 50/50 ownership between GTR and CPR. Construction started in 1914 after significant delays over location and design. Ultimately the new Beaux Arts station would run into men and material shortages from World War One and the collapse of GTR in 1923 and establishment of Canadian National Railways who took on the Union project. While still partly incomplete the station was officially opened in 1927 by the Prince of Wales. The station would remain under construction until 1930. The reduction in passenger services in the 1970s saw a grim future for the third Union Station and a proposed fourth Union Station, totally underground was proposed but ultimately denied preventing what happened to New York City's historic Penn Station. The Station today has become a central hub for VIA Rail, GO Transit, and the TTC, and is currently undergoing extensive restoration, reconstruction, and revitalization for the 21st Century.

Well, I was certainly surprised with this group. Initially, I warry for nine minutes with a 1+50 dilution, but my concerns were immediately dismissed. These are stunning, with excellent tonality and edge sharpness. The trade-off is a bit more grain, but that's not bad.

I think I should have added a rim light and reflector to open up the shadows just bit. I'm not fond of how the shadow areas got blocked up on this one during scanning.

Named for the distance between its exit at Lake Ontario to the Great Lake's western end, the Sixteen Mile Creek has gone through many names throughout its history. But it's here the story starts as, without the Creek, there would be no Oakville. The Creek's wide drainage basin for farming, transport for goods and people and power for mills. Plus, a good harbour at its mouth.

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.
