Got to invite lovely friend Hannah to Jay Javier's studio after a few non-handsome dudes have been dicking around with the 5x7 view camera. Shot this one from the session myself, and blame the soft focus effect to this being my first ever shot in large format. Lit with studio lights, shot through an Industar-51 210mm lens on Ilford Photographic Paper.

I'm playing with some large format lenses I've accumulated, and trying out my new Mod 54 developing kit. All in this series had front downward tilt. All were taken at the same height and tilt. All were taken using a White Lighting x3200 with a 24x36 softbox with a grid in front of the white panel because that was necessary to get the light level down to f/8. I chose f/8 as the maximum because of the Ektar's maximum of 7.7. These are all 600dpi scans.

These were all focused by eye only because I couldn't find my loupe, so there is probably some variability due to that. To me the Fuji doesn't look to be the sharpest, and I guess that is because of the different contrast which is probably because it's the newest lens and has the most modern coatings. But it is the sharpest of these.

My willing model, a bust of Hiawatha, has been in the family since 1900 or so. I am the current caretaker. He is made of plaster and was a carnival prize originally. He has been broken and repaired several times in his life.

If I can draw any conclusion from this very non-scientific test, using unknown cheap Chinese 100 ASA film and TMax RS at an arbitrary 6 minutes at 25 degrees C, it is that they are all very sharp lenses, and the Mod 54 is super easy to use.. Next round will be older lenses when I make a lensboard adapter for their various sizes.

This is NOT photoshopped!!! Keep reading-Shot on a large format view camera 4x5 chrome film. I printed this in the dark room with a color head and adjusted the color filters to achieve these colors. Printed on Kodak paper for negative film. Knowing the colors would be reversed I used green apples so they would be red in the photo.

I can't remember which adjustments were in place for this shot; I'm still figuring all this out.

Taken with a Deardorff 8x10 viewcamera and a 19'' Goerz Artar lens,shot at f64 @ 30 sec.

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.

Creative assignment #5 was to make a double exposure with our 4x5 View Camera. I chose to do a triple exposure on this one. Unfortunately I had a ton of ideas that I wasn't able to shoo because of time problems. Maybe next time. I decided to take a trip to my past. This is a scan of my 4x5 transparency.
