Museum of arts, Gothenburg.
This is the single most elaborate shot I've ever done. It's made with a View camera (large format camera) and it took about 30 minutes to set up. You are not allowed to take pictures inside the museum but Christoffer (a friend from the gothenburg school of photography) and me were able to get a permit after some persistent arguing with the supervisor.
The View camera enables the user to change the position of the focal plane, thus creating a tilt-shift effect. It's very tricky though. The camera is loaded with a single sheet of film prepared in a darkroom. There are no aids in form of measuring light and virtually no help with exposure times either. It's as manual as it gets. By my god it's fun.
This shot has an altered focal plane and somewhat of a tilt-shift effect.
View large on white is essential.
I was heading back to the car from the forested area on the left of the frame and I have always admired the rolling hill at the back of the field. Believe it or not, that hill is actually a land fill.
I had packed the ShenHao away and was in a rush but I knew i would kick myself if i didn't capture those wisp like clouds flowing over the hill.
I used an orange filter on this shot to get a little more contrast between the blue sky and clouds.

This one didn't work but it was worth a try:
Put an Instax 100 card in a 4x5I Packfilm sleeve. The envelope acts as a dark slide and it can be loaded in daylight.
Develop it by pulling it through the rollers of the 545 sheet film holder.

The Freyberger one-room schoolhouse was built by Jacob Stein for $300 in the 1830's, though some reports list its build date as circa 1870. It was originally called both the Center School and the Stein School. Classes ceased at the school in 1955 when school district consolidation took over in Pennsylvania. The school was moved to the Kutztown University campus on October 30th-31st 1991 and is now part of the Pennsylvania German Cultural Center which includes examples of a German Bank Barn, Farm House, Cabins and this one room brick schoolhouse. The original location of the school was on Klinesville Road in Greenwich township about 3 1/2 miles from its present location. It was gifted to the college by Archie Follweiler Jr. of Kutztown. Kutztown University Alumnus and retired school teacher Dr. Ruth Freyberger paid for the move, renovations and maintenance of the schoolhouse as a tribute to her Sister Grace Arline Freyberger, also a Kutztown University graduate and a retired schoolteacher who attended a one-room schoolhouse in her youth. Present day school children sometimes take field trips to the school to learn about what it was like to be educated in one during the 1800s/early 1900s.
This was shot on a completely overcast day bordering on rain so we had a featureless sky. That's pretty much how my March went on this project.

There had been a violent overnight wind storm which spit the tree and left the wound of bright wood glowing in the grey morning light.

4x5 for 365 Project details: greggobst.com/4x5-for-365/
Camera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera.
Lens: Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter. Yellow-Green filter on the lens.
Film: Fuji Super HR-T 30 medium speed green sensitive X-Ray film. Purchased as 8x10" sheets and cut down to 4x5". Film rated at 100 ISO.
Exposure: 35 seconds @ F45 after compensation for filter factor, bellows extension and film reciprocity.
Lighting: Lit from a constant light made up of four 25 watt daylight balanced CFL bulbs in a four socket adapter placed on a light stand and diffused through a home made diffuser made of white bridal satin around a pvc pipe frame positioned to camera right. Above the subject was placed an Alien Bees B800 studio strobe in a 22" white lined beauty dish with diffusion sock with just the modeling light on @ full power. The reflection of the black background causes the mirror surface to reflect as black.

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. Cropped to taste in Lightroom 4.
Film isn't wine - it doesn't age well. Still, I thought it went reasonably well with the gritty subject matter.
This is the renovated school house in the tiny village of Stillwater Pennsylvania located along route 487 in Columbia County. The school is located right next to the Stillwater Covered Bridge. According to the year 2000 census, the population of Stillwater was 194 people in 85 households. The building was extensively renovated during the last decade and a photo exists showing its deteriorated prior condition in 2005 here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Church_in_Stillwater.jpg

A photo I took of Grant Park for use in my Cyanotype printing tests. Needless to say, I'm not too excited about how my cyanotype turned out, but I knew this would make a terrific straight-forward b&w image.
Although the weather was a bit rough this day, I was happy to see so many wonderful clouds with enough separation to allow light through. This allowed me to record the awesome definition of both their shape and form. Even if the wind was dangerously close to tipping over my tripod with the camera attached (on numerous occasions), I'm glad I toughed it out. Do enjoy :)

This image was made with a Polaroid 110A that I converted to shoot 4×5 sheet film using a DIY "Lo-Fi" back. Exposed on Ilford Delta 100, the camera itself is as much a part of the story as the subject—a blend of restoration, engineering, and experimentation.
From rebuilding the camera to composing the photograph, every step reflects an appreciation for thoughtful design, craftsmanship, and taking the slow route to a single negative.

one of the first five 4x5 images i have shot. A big change from small or medium format. Still have to sort out some technical issues (light leaks from improperly loaded film, and i can't decide wether it is worth it to get a polaroid back...
This image has a mysterious line of greater exposure across the top 1/4. I have no idea what caused this.
