Here Josefin is waiting for her 4x5 polaroid to develop. She always puts them in her armpits during the 30 second timeframe.
Shot with a 4x5 view camera. I started and completed this project in the Fall of 2010. All photographs were compiled in a book, which can be viewed here:
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 The uneven textures in the sky bothers me, I am not sure if it is due to developer surge, the outdated film I used, or a dirty filter.

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.
The forest around The Hermitage site is way more interesting than The Hermitage itself. Unfortunately it was a windy day but I will have to go back and explore some more.
The foreground area with the rock outcropping was quite dark but i wanted to bring out the details in the rocks, sun was shining through the forest right at me, lots of backlight to deal with & branches waving in the wind!

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)
16 Mile Creek
With this negative, I wanted to test the ability of the Fujinon-W 135 mm lens when shooting into a very bright backlit scene.
As you can see, there is some light bouncing around in there which I expected. I did not use a lens hood, nor did I stop down the lens a bit more to help manage the backlight.
In developing this negative, I should have backed off my normal development time of 8 minutes to about 5-6 minutes but I wanted to see what the outcome would be at 8 minutes.
I could see printing this negative with a #5 filter to really bring out the blacks to help produce a high contrast print.

Eastman 2D 8x10 with a Wollensak Betax No. 5 shutter and Gundlach Radar Anastigmat 12" (304.8mm) lens. Paper negative (Ilford MGIV Pearl RC 8x10 paper).
Am I stupid, crazy, nuts, insane, a glutton for punishment, or just very, very brave? I picked up an 8x10 Eastman 2D military issue camera at a camera show. These are the first shots. 1 second @ F5.6. I rated the paper at ISO 3, but that might be too much. I need to test more!
A Kickstarter project from Italy provided for my first 4x5 camera!
It is equipped with a Yamasaki Congo 135 lens and a Gaoersi viewfinder and sits on a Berlebach Report tripod.
I haven't shot any 4x5 lately, way too busy these days. I finally found a bit of time to develop a couple of negatives I shot a while ago. Shot this one directly into the sun so I reduced my development time a bit. Could probably use a little burning in of the sky.

1150 Marina Village Parkway, Alameda. Table-top set-up on the left, with Calumet 403, Schneider Xenar 150. The fotofloods are to aid focusing. Actual lighting would be by studio strobes.
Copy-stand at the rear right, Oxberry-Nikon F2 pin-registered camera with Berkey Mini-Broads, Dichroic filters to balance for Kodak EPR.
This was shot with a Nikon F3, probably my 24mm Nikkor, Kodak EN film, illuminated by Speedotron 1203 with 3 heads (power supply barely visible lower left foreground). Dirty old transparency was digitally-duped with Nikon D70, using the copy setup shown.
This is an advance copy of my first published book (one made by someone other than myself). The book will be released by www.charleslanepress.com in September 2011. Charles Lane Press was started by Richard Renaldi and Seth Boyd and they are becoming known for their immaculate attention to detail in the production of their books. Mine will be the 4th book they have produced.
My first "real" large format view camera. The Graphic View was a very popular camera because it was so good, and the relatively large number of them available mean that the prices are very low. That, combined with the quality of my Graflex Super Graphic press camera convinced me that this was the right camera to get.
This camera is in very good condition (I even have the metal lensboard, but it was in a case with deteriorated felt, so I can't use it until I clean it out), and it works perfectly. The one obvious problem is the lack of the Graflex Graphic View's most iconic feature, the red bellows. Its a small price to pay, however, since the bellows have obviously been replaced recently and are in much better condition than the original red bellows would have been. Eventually I will replace these with some red leather bellows to match the original style, but for now this is fine.
Pictures taken with this camera can be found here.
A machinist extraordinaire friend of mine made me a piece that screws into this Compur shutter and holds the SX-70 lens.
There is no Iris in this shutter so I'll have to stop it down by sliding a strip with a hole in the slot where the shutter used to be (or use it at F/8),
Good news: The SX-70 lens covers 4 x 5 "
It works well on my view cam.
Maybe I'll graft it on an Instax body later.
I could focusit if I'd add a focus scale..

This is Saint Joseph Hall at the Chestnut Hill College located in the Chestnut Hill section of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The building which opened in 1924, houses the Administration offices, financial aid, alumni development, student accounts and registrar offices as well as classrooms. The building features a six-story Greco-Roman rotunda and French Gothic exterior and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The building has a claimed history of being haunted. In August of 2011 Rudolf Alexandrov, an adjunct mathematics professor committed suicide inside the building by jumping off the second floor balcony head first down to the marble floor below, adding to the mysterious legacy of the structure.

Amazing that I am able to get this shutter to sync with my flashes at 1/400s. I can even use my Cybersync wireless triggers with it! Can't wait to test it out - just need some film!
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.
