The mill was water-powered and initially served the Nicholas Melcher farm on which it was located. It has a footprint of 25' x 25'.

In this frame, I used my Orange Filter to give me a better idea of how it would impact the negative.
Unfortunately it was a windy day, and at f45, the exposure time was 28 seconds so there is lots of movement throughout the frame however, it gives a nice example of the impact of the Orange Filter in comparison to the post below where i used no filter.
I really like how the filter enhances the foliage and seems to give a little boost in the overall highlights and midtones of the negative.
I developed this negative at the same time as the one below in HC-110
f45 @ 28 seconds + Orange Filter

Here Josefin is waiting for her 4x5 polaroid to develop. She always puts them in her armpits during the 30 second timeframe.
Another shot of our backyard pond and waterfall. I think I was trying some depth of field experiments on this shot. I'm not happy with the way the end of the waterfall turned out but I'll have other chances to improve on that.

Wishing her sailor boy hadn't sailed away.
---Negative scan and neg cleared with sodium sulphite solution which ruined my negatives, made them cloudy and streaked. So I'm embracing the tragedy of my negs having been ruined...
Poohlaroid. One day I'll actually break down and buy a battery from the FPP store and see if this flea market find still works. I have pack film for it.

Camera: Toyo-View 45GII, Fuji Fujinon NW 125mm f5.6. Film: Adox CHS 100 II, developed in Rodinal 1+100, 24min @ 21.5°C.
I recently finished a bottle of HC-110 so I thought I would give Rodinal a try again as I haven't used it much. I immediately noticed that Rodinal produced more grain in the sky compared to negatives I developed in HC-110 under the exact same lighting conditions.

Nojuan, with Jerry Manson and the Five Deardorffs!
I know this was shot in the early '80's next to an old fallen down wood house on the shore of Baldwin Lake, a few miles East of Big Bear, California. What I can't recall is why we hauled the 5 Deardorff view cameras; two 5x7's, two 8x10's, and an 11x14 up there, and then, when we took the series of photos, why we were holding the evergreen branches.
Perhaps we were sending a holiday postcard to Jack Deardorff?
The original negative was copied off a light table with the D90
SNOW!!!!
This was going to be such a nice picture but...its gone wrong. Either not enough coverage from my lens to use this much swing or something has gone wrong while processing this negative. I hope it is the later. Still we learn from our mistakes.
This is my 7th large format image, I almost have the hang of it now and I love my berlebach!
Lens swing, 150mm at f/5.6, 1/50th second, MPP monorail on berlebach tripod. Ashdown Forest, Sussex.

Another test of the 600mm Fujinon on the Lionhof. The uneven textures in the sky bothers me, I am not sure if it is due to developer surge, the outdated film I used, or a dirty filter.

Kodak Tri-X 320 Developed in Xtol using the dip and dunk method
I purchased this 3 months ago in May 2010 and have done a ground up restoration on it. If you would like to know more about that please feel free to ask. This camera has pushed me into large format photography in a heavy way.
There must be some explanation
Shishkabob take-out, grant writing, Babies documentary and election results watching party? Some party!
UPDATE: Explanation. Well, it doesn't quite explain the title, but... sounds like something we should be listening to: "Allmusic staff writer John Dougan gave the album 4.5 / 5 stars, calling it a 'terrific, noisy, clamorous record stuffed to the gills with pure punk rock excitement.' " Also, any band that has a record called "Effete and Impudent Snobs" has got to be onto something.
Here's my Burke&James Grover Large Format 4x5. It's been recently rescued from my parents home, and is living with us now. Just needs some lens cleaning and some polaroid type55 :)
