Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 Getting ready for my new toy - stupid camera shake and stupid me for not bumping the ISO, but I really try to treat my remaining Olympus like an old film camera :

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 22, 2009 Report Posted September 22, 2009 4x5 Cameras are relatively cheap these days.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 Second shot from 4x5 - it's still dirty and rough (still trying to perfect the clean negative to a clean scan), the first was all scratched and had some anti-halation layer left on it.
Toadtorrent Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 COOL. Nothing like some bellows work. How's your tripod? I'm interested in going DSLR purely for a lensbaby option...similar idea.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 (edited) Tripod is good, it will hold 45lbs and 30Nm of torque. I don't think you can get the same results with a toy lens and 35mm though - LF has a je ne sais quoi that 35mm cannot touch. Edited September 25, 2009 by ThePhilosopher
Jkay Posted September 25, 2009 Report Posted September 25, 2009 LF has a je ne sais quoi that 35mm cannot touch. Agreed
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 I had time to shoot some LF this weekend too :
Toadtorrent Posted September 28, 2009 Report Posted September 28, 2009 Nice stuff. I had shot a little LF 8x10 Sinar in a studio doing commercial stuff YEARS ago. Nothing interesting...just ceiling fans and catalogue product.

dvn Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 One word: WOW. I have had a Nikon DSLR for a year now but i have no idea how to shoot something like these. Where do i start? Any idea where to buy a good but used 70-300 zoon len anywhere?
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 5, 2009 Report Posted October 5, 2009 (edited) These were shot with a pieced-together 4x5 Field Camera; 35mm, and even a typical medium format can't come close: If you're serious about shooting film send me an email and we'll talk.

Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 What you don't see is the gallon jugs of premixed C-41 and B&W chemistry, enough concentrate to make 12 gallons of B&W Developer and another quart of B&W Fix and Stop Bath. Also there's 120 film in the fridge: 18 rolls of Neopan 100, 19 rolls of Ektachrome 100, 25 rolls of Portra 160 NC. Let the madness begin, I think I'm set for a while. Drums and reels: Jobo: Sheet Film, b&w in back color in front:
Toadtorrent Posted October 23, 2009 Report Posted October 23, 2009 Awesome stuff. I miss my darkroom days. Now, it's all about photobooks and family vacation pics. Fun in it's own right...a very different aim.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Color Stuff: Portra 160VC 4x5: Portra 160NC 120: Velvia 50 4x5, cross-processed:
NORing Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Those black&whites are stunning. I actually reacted emotionally to these!! Awsome!
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted October 25, 2009 Report Posted October 25, 2009 Thanks, I haven't had a chance to use LF film with a client - I did use some MF film with a client though, 120 size Neopan Arcos 100:
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 Schneider 150mm f/5.6 lens and Velvia ISO 50 (intentionally crossed in C-41 to convert to B&W). 1/500, f/5.6, ISO50 one gridded beauty dish and a silver reflector.
Guest HaloArchive Posted November 14, 2009 Report Posted November 14, 2009 I love real photography, it is just, perfect. Digital takes the life out of image.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Thanks a lot - I'm going to do a rather large collection of images and try to put them in a book and a gallery to go along with it.
Guest ThePhilosopher Posted November 15, 2009 Report Posted November 15, 2009 Ektachrome 100 cross-processed, Schneider 150mm f/5.6 handheld 1/60 f/5.6 (wide open):
