Share some LF photos

[starvingjack]

The LF community here is growing and perhaps we can share our shots here.
And of course some equipment talk. heheh

Anyway, Finally my holders are here, gave them a good cleaning and here are the first 2 4X5 sheet film which I self developed. Souped in 1:50 rodinal, constant agitation, 10% off normal time. Film used is the cheap shanghai 100. I'm quite satisfied with the film.

nice shots

[sweat100]

Here is one that I took of the Tang Dynasty. A bit underexposed though.

This was an experimental food shot on 4x5 taken in the 1980s.
The lighting was just one soft box positioned from the top slightly
tilted and a foam reflector as fill-in placed near the camera position.

The past can be in the present. This can only happen when you are
not accepting a limiting belief.

Messages like "The water is too cold for me to swim in".
"You must be crazy to use sheet film on a view camera".
"There is no way to build a darkroom at home". "They
don't serve chicken rice the way they use to".

There will be no limitations to creations
except those you believe in.

thanks for the kind words buddy.
I don't know which camera suits me too. lol.
I'll save u a spot here to post once u get hooked to LF. heheh

here's a new one, well sort of.
Just taken this evening.
I must have taken tons of this scene in all sorts of ways, attempts after attempts, but I think this is my favourite one as of now. 4X5 negs does makes alot of difference.

Polaroid 110B, f32/15mins
Shanghai 100
rodinal 1:50



regrettably, the polaroid have no movements, a view camera will be better suit. oh well...btw, anyone wants to share to get european films?

[starvingjack]

Just another qns for the masters out there, if you do use the zone system, how did you find out your N+- timings?
I presume theres no easier way then to trial and error?

[undercoverone]

wow! The image of large format is so good! too bad the camera is bulkly.
