Murdering Creek flows into the southern part of Lake Weyba near Noosa. It is the rumoured site of a massacre of aborigines by local squatters. There are no eyewitness records of this so a mystery remains.
Repoussoir is a device in pictorial composition where a foreground feature at the edge of a picture frames a more distant part of the scene and leads the eye into it. The ability of a view camera to swing its front or rear standards provides an oblique focus plane that can carry sharpness from very near to very far to strongly emphasise the repoussoir technique.
These were taken last session on the 4x5 for simulated window light. He has such a great face for portraits.
I just got the latest issue of the View Camera magazine. It consists solely of a portfolio of Paul Caponigro. Outstanding b&w photography, well worth seeking out.
Carrying case for the 5x7 Agfa. It holds the 5x7 view camera and the 4x5 reducing back, plus it has extra room for various accessories; dark cloth, meter, level, cable release, grey card, misc. small tools, and other sundry items you always end up needing on an extended photo journey.
I will be using this camera in week 471 of my 52 film cameras in 52 weeks project:

For the first full week in 2019 of my 52 cameras in 52 weeks project, I decided to use my dad's Lizars Challenge folding plate camera. This dates from around 1905 and is in very good condition. I will be using a roll film back as I don't have any glass plates. I expect to take most of the 8 exposures indoors using a tripod, bit I hope to try a couple outside. I've loaded it with Rollei Pan ISO 25 black and white negative film.
One of the old documents found in the family archive, possibly a promissory note.
Camera: Toyo-View 45GII, Fuji Fujinon NW 125mm f5.6. Film: Rollei Ortho 25, developed in Rollei RLC Low Contrast.
Just what I needed, a new project, and a 5x7 large format camera project to boot!
First impression is better than I expected. I knew it needed a new bellows, but I was more concerned with the condition of the wood and metal parts. I found no crack in the wood, and no missing or broken metal parts. It has both 5x7 (on camera) and 4x5 backs, both of them original Agfa, and an original Agfa lensboard, and a decent looking original Agfa carrying case.
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 built this 4x5/6x12 point and shoot camera many years ago but recently refurbished and improved the original. Since I mostly shoot 6x12 roll film I upgraded the finder to a 6x12 specific finder matched to this 75mm lens and added a grip that facilitates easy access top the shutter release. The lens is a 75mm Nikkor, which is about the same angle of view as a 24mm on 35mm.
I built this to take with me on trips where I really don't want to lug around my Linhof. I also built this camera to shoot in the urban environment when a traditional view camera would prove challenging.
The camera is mostly built from spare Cambo view camera parts, which are easy to find used, the lens is mounted in a flipped Toyo recessed lens board, the helicoid was ordered from ebay, however, any helicoid that is large enough to accommodate the lens can be used.

In Kilgore, Texas. Photographed on Kodak TMAX 100 4x5 film, on a Calumet view camera. The front element was tilted back to create the very selective focus. I love view cameras!
The slightly rounded corners came from the frame I used on the scanner, and I kind of liked them, so I kept it as it was.
This summer it was the golden wedding of my parents, a 50 years marriage.
I took some pictures of the elder membrers of family and friends woth my old Busch Pressman D, just before it began to rain for the week end.

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.
This summer, I attended a Wet Plate Collodion workshop at Peter's Valley Craft Center in New Jersey. I was taught by Craig Barber and worked out of his makeshift pick up truck darkroom. It was a great experience and I hope to do it again sometime!

A beautiful balustrade in DC. I got fancy with the front lens swing to keep it sharp, but ran out of lens coverage. I like it anyway.
Just finished refurbishing this Graflex Crown Graphic. Bare wood finish fresh wrinkle coat paint job, complete with swing modified front standard and a cool wooden tripod. Old brass lens from Kodak 5x7 camera.
its up for sale now.
single light source with a reflector. Hair lit from above and behind. Exposure 4 sec at f3.8 with the 16" wollensak vitax
Museum of arts, Gothenburg.
This is the second 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 a "normal" focal plane and no tilt-shift effect.
View large on white is essential.
