Toyo View Deluxe / Industar 51 210mm f4.5 / Agfa MCP paper negative
This picture was taken more than five years ago, improperly labeled, and forgotten on a film holder until yesterday. It narrowly escaped being double exposed by a hunch of mine that made me throw it into the developer tray just in case something was there. And, oh boy, I really thank my luck for that hunch.
I remember that afternoon very well, as I managed to have for lunch at my house in northern Tokyo both of what I'm sure are the best models I've had the pleasure to shoot. It's a sin that this negative spent that many years stored away, as I think that this is the best large format portrait I've ever shot in the open.

While it feels good to be back in the darkroom again, I am experiencing some of the same frustrations that I used to get in the previous darkroom: frustrations over ruined film. I used 2 sheets of 8x10 film to take this picture (I always take a second on in case I ruin one in the darkroom). I am using a new developing tray, which is a daylight tray (you can use it with the light on). It’s new to me, so I’m getting used to it. It’s supposed to hold the negative flat, and allow for as little as 500ml of developer to be used. I’m testing a developer called Eco-Pro. It’s basically Kodak Xtol by another name. My goal is to find a developer/film combination to stick with, and not get lost in the hundreds of combinations out there. The first negative somehow did not lay flat in the tray, so a large corner of it was not developed at all. The second one (this one) had little spots all over it. I cleaned them off in Photoshop, but the negative is uselsss for optical printing. It also had some darkened patches at the top, which looked like they were at the places where the plastic peices are that center the negative in the tray. The little spots I mentioned are likely from unmixed developer. I mixed it immediately before I used it, and I noticed some unmixed powder in the bottom of the beaker after I added the developer to the tray. I apparently did not mix it well enough.
I like the Eco-Pro developer so far (other than when I don’t mix it well enough). I’m trying to use more environmentlaly safe chemicals. I’d like it to work out. I already use their neutral fixer. That said, I read a blog post recently where someone is making Rodinal out of peppermint leaves. I’m intrigued.

1905 Korona View - Schneider G-Claron 240mm - f/45 - Fomapan 100 - 5x7 Film - HC 110 1+100 - Unaltered Negative Scan
Kodak's finest 8x10 camera, introduced in 1937 and a favorite of Ansel Adams. Adam's previous 8x10 camera was the Century Universal, also pictured in my folio. It is reproduced here in its minimal usable form sans sliding tripod block or extension rail.
Thirty inch bellows but collapses to 6.5 inches thick with a monster 6x6 inch lens board that would mount almost any lens, even old huge Petzvals. Total weight: 13 3/4 pounds thanks to a radical magnesium alloy body; as the name states, its ALL metal.
Cost in 1937 was $175; the old work horse Kodak 8x10 wooden camera, the Eastman View, sold for $80, and the previously top quality 8x10, Century Universal, sold for $98.00.
Seen here with a Pinkham Bi-Quality lens mounted.

Lyle, Washington is located in the eastern Columbia Gorge, directly across from Rowena Crest. The Columbia River is fairly wide there, and it takes one hell of a lens to do this. I used one hell of a camera too. It's an Eastman Kodak Commercial 8x10 view camera that is capable of a yard of bellows extension.
I have had some trouble with the film. I'm not sure why it was happening, but this film, and a pack of HP5 had some diffuse lines of higher density running through it. I have to clean them up in Photoshop. They are about 3/4" wide, and there is sometimes smaller lines. You can see them in the water at the bottom, and in the sky at the top. I cleaned them up as best as I could. I keep the film in the freezer until I am ready to load it, but I am wondering if something happened in the freezer. I am going to try some different film from the freezer soon, but what is concerning is that I have about 5 boxes of Efke film, which is no longer available, in the freezer. If all of the film that was in the freezer at about the same time period was ruined like this, that would really suck.

I have to admit, this one got pretty good. It was the only negative that ever cackled when I pulled it out of the fixer, and saw it for the first time. It was that good.

I took this photo many years ago on a 4x5" view camera with Fuji Velvia film. I reprocessed the shot not long ago, fooled with the color in Photoshop, and came up with this. The image recently won an award in a photo contest.

Taken from the Burnside Bridge in Portland, Oregon.
The Deardorff I use was made in 1939. It isn't a museum piece. It's heavy, and bulky. I have to be very careful not to break the ground glass while carting it around. Folks stop and ask, "Do they still make film for that?" while I'm using it. That's the question I was asked while setting up for this shot. What inspires me to continue using bulky, old camera with weighty optics is, quite simply, magic. I am always amazed by what film can capture, especially while using tiny apertures.
