This German made egg features a duck with a view camera on a tripod photographing a cat and rabbit. A chick looks on in the foreground. The two part egg is filled with cellophane grass and can be opened to hold a gift of Easter candy.
New Work.
4x5 Ilford FP4
Expect a lot of new work over the next two days and a lot of old work. I developed a bunch of negatives that were lost when I moved. Crazy at the stuff I found.
The former weighmaster's house (left) and the oil house (right) on the grounds of the Lockridge Furnace Park in Alburtis, Pennsylvania. The Furnace opened in 1868 during the peak of the anthracite iron industry and operated until shortly after World War One. Since 1970, the 59 acre site has operated as a community park while the original blast furnace building # 7 now houses the Lock Ridge Furnace Museum which is open on a limited basis during the Spring through Fall months.

11x14" print from 4x5" Tri-X320 B&W negative shot through a Sinar monorail view camera with a vertical raise and a forward tilt to the front plane. Exposed for 1/60th at f/32. Burned on the stairs significantly, and dodged on the pair of teachers at the middle left.
I did not have a lens wide enough nor the correct time of day available to mimic the original picture as precisely as I would have hoped.
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 :)
I often say "flickr made me do it" when I make a post. In this case it was paws22 who was the vehicle for a four image addition to my photostream.
This is the view of the top of the French statue of a photographer with his view camera that I have posted. The cut-away top of the camera shows the surprising face of the photographer. We think the gaunt face and pointed goatee looks rather devilish so we call him the devil photographer.
The well know and widely published back mark for the California photographer, S. A. Wolf. must have been based on this 7" metal statue. I am also posting scans of a Wolf cabinet card of a child and the back mark of the card.
Thanks paws22 for the nudge to do it.
This guy was setting up a 4x5 mono-rail view camera. What a great morning for it. Looked like fun, but I came for the 200k ride.
This small grist mill was built in 1888 in Bally, Washington Township within Berks County Pennsylvania. It was moved to the Berks Heritage Center location in Bern Township in the late 1970's. 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
ShenHao HZX45-IIA + Fujinon-W 135mm f5.6 + Arista EDU Ultra 100 @ 50 iso + HC-110 (9mL syrup + 600mL water) @ 8 min (Tray developed, 1 min initial agitation followed by every 30 seconds)
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.

4x5 View Camera. I am not sure what the lens is, but it is mounted on an Acme #4 Synchronized Shutter. Not bad for an Antique Fair find. Just need to learn how to use this beast.
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.

The kind and patient Mr. Lane Anderson of Cloudstone Photography. Taken with a 4x5 view camera on Fujichrome Velvia 100F slide film. At the Strobist Flashbus talk, no less. Lighting: David Hobby, right side about 300 ft away.
f32-45 @ 4 seconds
ShenHao HZX45-IIA + Fujinon-W 135mm f5.6 + Arista EDU Ultra 100 @ 50 iso + Rodinal 1:100 @ 50 min (Jobo Tank, 1 min initial agitation followed by 3 turns @ every minute for next 4 minutes, slight turn at 30 minutes, stand developed)

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.
f22 @ 1/30th sec + Orange Filter

Now appearing for your viewing and dancing pleasure -
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.
