Gelatin-silver photograph on Ultrafine Silver Eagle VC FB photographic paper, image size 21.2cm X 16.3cm, from a 4x5 Fomapan 400 negative exposed in a Tachihara 45GF double extension field view camera fitted with a Nikkor-W 210mm f5.6 lens.
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, 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.
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.

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.
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.
i'll probably re-take this photo using another barrel lens. i made one with it but the exposure is wrong due to the bellows factor for 300mm dialyte lens. my exposure guestimation sucks big time!
A little high-key experimental look for today's entry in the project. I don't often shoot this look but I figured I'd give it a try with some dead branches I broke off a plant in our snow encased back yard. The hatred for Winter continues...
4x5 for 365 Project details: greggobst.photography/4x5-for-365
Camera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera.
Lens: Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter. Carl-Zeiss Softar-1 filter on the lens to add some edge softness.
Film: Fuji Super HR-T 30 medium speed green sensitive X-Ray film. Purchased as 8x10" sheets and cut down to 4x5" using a rotary trimmer under 11w red bulb safelight.
Exposure: The original metered exposure was for 1/2 second @ F64 but after adding compensation time for bellows extension and reciprocity, the final exposure was 6 seconds @ F64. Lots more exposure experimenting to be done with this X-Ray film.
Lighting: Alien Bees B800 studio strobe using only the modeling light as a constant light source @ full power in 22" soft white beauty dish with diffusion sock, positioned above and slightly in front of camera position. A 30" silver reflector on reflector stand positioned to camera left to bounce some light back onto the subject.
Development: Self Developed film in Rodinal (Adox Adinol) 1:100 in three reel Paterson Universal Tank using Mod54 six sheet 4x5 insert. 6 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius. Tap water stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo. Hung on shower curtain to dry on film clips.
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.

I shot this one the same night I shot the Sarah Jane Bear shot. I just liked the way the basket edge, it's shadow and the hardwood floor sort of made their own design of light and shadows. It's back to the X-Ray film for tomorrow's project post.

Trees at Fiskars village, Pohja, Finland. 04/25/2009.
I was walking with my wife at the Fiskars, old ironworks village at southern Finland, carrying heavy Toyo view camera set and looking for something to photograph.
That was a first time when I visited the village so I didn't know what to expect (of course I had seen some photographs on the internet).
It was late afternoon when I saw these bare trees from the opposite bank of the river. I really liked the structure of the trees.
But how to photograph it? Behind the trees there was too many objects that I didn't want to interfere the picture. Like trash bins, ...
After a short walking back and forth, I found the place where those objects were hidden behind the trees. But still, I had to use longest lens available, the 450mm telephoto lens (approx. 110mm equivalence with 35mm camera lens) to keep trees as main object.
I don't know if this is bit too tight crop, perhaps 370mm telephoto lens that I carried, would also be fine - but again, those trash bins, parked cars, ... The composition feeled easier with tight crop that long telephoto lens gave.
Exposed as N contrast on 4x5 Adox CHS 100 sheet film (former Efke). Developed in Pyrocat-HD 1+1+100.
Lens was Nikkor-Q 9/450mm, used aperture f/22 and exposure time 1/4s
My second image using my new Calumet view camera. This is our bridal bouquet, dried and mounted on our bedroom wall.
This is Mat (yes, one 'T') Marrash, who has been a great friend and very helpful in pushing my limits as a film photographer, particularly when it comes to large format. Taken in Cleveland, OH.
(Yes, I screwed up the focus during camera setup somehow.)
