A shed that most likely any capable flat bed lorry can load in a matter of minutes, stranded in the woods not far from my cabin.
From the first pack of film through my Polaview DIY camera. Not entirely successful. A number of issues need addressing, first and foremost the bellows are not up to the summer midday sun. Ah well, not to worry, I will get there sooner or later.
Used a modicum of tilt to get front to shed in focus.

Say good morning to Alice, our "new" 100+ year old 8x10 camera. She's due for a makeover but I still think she's beautiful. She's marked a Seroco View...but we're certain she's a mutt of dubious origin.
Taken with my iPhone 4s and Instagram.
Geeking out during rainy Saturday taking shots of my newest old camera with my newest new camera. Graflex Graphic View I meet Canon 7D.

I will be paying for it a looooong time, but I think it's worth every pence. Geez, when I first mounted it in my studio and started playing with it, it felt like I was doing 4x5 for the first time. We are going to be friends, you know?
Glencairn Museum, located on 1001 Cathedral Road, Bryn Athyn, Pennsylvania, is a New Church-affiliated museum of religious history on the National Register of Historic Places.
It houses a collection of about 8,000 mostly religious artwork from many cultures as diverse as ancient Egyptian, ancient Greek and Roman, medieval Christian, Islamic, Asian, and Native American. The museum displays a replica of the Biblical tabernacle.
Building.
The castle-like building was the former house of billionaire businessman Raymond Pitcairn (1885–1966) and his wife, Mildred Glenn (died 1979). It consists of more than 90 rooms on 10 floors, adjacent to Ralph Adams Cram's Gothic Revival Bryn Athyn Cathedral (1913–19) and his father's home Cairnwood. The Pitcairn fortune derived from control of Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company, of which his father John Pitcairn, Jr. (1841-1916), was director, 1896-1906. The Pitcairns were funders of the American Liberty League.[2] The name of the museum is a combined form of Raymond's last name and Mildred's maiden name. After Mildred's death in 1979 (Raymond had previously died in 1966) the house, with its collections and Pitcairn archives was given to the Academy of the New Church.[3]
Pitcairn, a member of the New Church himself, had no formal training in architecture and built it in the Romanesque style between 1928 and 1939. The granite and ruddy colored stone nine-story building has three main sections; a central rectangle with two large rectangular wings. It measures approximately 175 feet by 135 feet, and features a nine-story tower and carved doorways, pillars, and wall insets. The building also has elaborate interior mosaics, monel metalwork, and Early Medieval stained glass windows.[4]
The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978 and is a contributing property of the Bryn Athyn Historic District.
Photo notes: There was no sky definition on this day and I really should have thrown on a graduated neutral density filter to at least darken the sky a little instead of leaving it blow out to nothing like this but it was early on in my discovery phase with the 4x5 camera and getting the base exposure for the subject was what I was working on mastering.

This time exposure is about right.

This was the home of John Pitcairn, a Scottish-born American industrialist and religious philanthropist who lived from 1841 through 1916. Pitcairn rose through the ranks of the Pennsylvania railroad industry, and played a significant role in the creation of the modern oil and natural gas industries. He went on to found the Pittsburgh Plate Glass Company (now PPG Industries), an early industry innovator which quickly grew into the largest manufacturer of plate glass in the United States, and amassed one of the largest fortunes in the United States at the time. Pitcairn was also the primary financial benefactor of the General Church of the New Jerusalem, evidenced by his funding of Bryn Athyn Cathedral which is located just next door to the mansion. The Cairnwood mansion was designed by the firm of Carrère and Hastings and construction was completed in 1895. The structure features 28 rooms and includes a chapel housed in the third story turret. The house is modeled after a Beaux Arts style French country estate. The property is now owned by Bryn Athyn College and serves as a special events facility and a prime spot for very high end weddings and corporate fundraising events. The home was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2002.

Camera: Calumet CC-401 4x5 large format monorail view camera
Lens: Rodenstock Geronar 150mm F6.3 lens in a Copal 0 shutter. I used a Cokin neutral density filter in a 100mm Pro-Z holder to give the otherwise featureless sky, some definition.
Film: Arista EDU 100 Ultra 4x5 B&W sheet film which I shot at 64 ISO
Exposure: 1/4 second @ F32. Metered with a Pentax 1 degree spot meter.
Development: Self Developed film in Kodak Xtol 1:2 in Paterson Universal Tank using the Taco Method. 9 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius. Tap water stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo. Hung on shower curtain to dry on film clips.
Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two parts and merged in Photoshop CS5 since the V600 doesn't natively support scanning 4x5 sheet film and I haven't stepped up to the V700 yet. Cropped to 16x10 in Lightroom 4.
I probably could have used some tilt with the front standard of the camera and perhaps some other movements to correct the lean of the tower and the vertical lines on the left side of the building. Notes made for next tim

4x5 Ilford FP4
I love my view camera.
Time to make more developer and develop about 20 more images over the next 2 days.
Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 24.7cm X 19.3cm, from a 8x10 Fomapan 200 negative exposed in a Tachihara 810HD field view camera fitted with a Fujinon-W 300mm f5.6 lens.
Shooting macro with an 8x10 camera in the field can be somewhat awkward, but at the same time totally rewarding.

Is there any light worse than mid-day in the desert? Well it's what I had to work with when I stopped in Rhyolite, a ghost town just outside Death Vally NP on my way back to Las Vegas. There was also a pretty stiff wind blowing, so even 1/15th sec between gusts was challenging.
