A statue from the edge of the Kelvingrove Park fountain. I walk past these every day and really like them. Finally I figured out that a night shot would get rid of the background. Side-lit by a portable 1000 lumen lighting rig. Small tilt and swing of the front standard on the monorail. Toning added after negative scan.
I built this camera with the Century Universal and Speed Graphic camera designs in mind. I wanted it to fold up neatly, look like a piece of luggage and retain the lens inside. Lightweight would have been nice but rigidity was more important. As I have several large Aerial lenses that I intend to try out.

...playing with all possible movements of a viewcamera at once doesn't make sense but it's less tiring than carrying all the heavy stuff in the woods...
I have a lot of things to learn about using a largeformat-camera properly...

Regular bellows.
Note rise is limited with this bellows. In other words I do run out of bellows flex before I run out of lens circle.

Still exploring why it is I take these pictures.
Firstly, I know I love the aesthetic of the way colors play together at night.
But more than that, it's about my love of industry, admiration of raw, hard work and finding beauty in these things built solely for their function and rarely for form.
I know there's more too it than that, so I have to keep shooting to find out what it is.
Which means...
I need my own Field camera. I can't shoot this work on 6x6 ever again.
First I had my wife take a portrait of me (I'm looking through a loupe).
Then I displayed it in the LCD, and shot it through the ground glass of a 4x5 view camera. The exposure of 3.2" was necessary to get a good detail on the LCD, so I had to shoot in complete dark.
BCKG: Q-flash with an umbrella (shoot-through).
View Camera: Q-flash with a 10" grid camera left and a piece of white paper camera right for some detail on the right side.
dSLR: One Vivitar 285, camera right, shooting down. One more 285 attached to the tripod (triggered manually) shooting up for some details on the handles.
