Could one of the Super System 4 4x5 developers explain their methods to me? I'm sitting here with my tank and some scrap sheets trying to figure out how you fit four sheets in there and I'm just not...

Frank,
I can surely agree with you on the ease of use when it comes to the menus and controls. I don't know, sometimes I think its because when I went to school it was around the time the dSLR...

- Burke and James 8x10 Field camera! Nothing locks down properly, the tripod socket doesn't look stripped but of all the different tripod heads I've tried it never stays put, it weighs a ton, doesn't...

I've been a long time fan of Acros and Fuji Films in general and rather annoyed by its lack of LF availability in the US. It's a pain in the ass and more expensive to use Quickload for me. I do...

I was showing my buddy Al (first photo) how to do some Avedon stuff in the studio this past Saturday. My girlfriend (second photo) sat for a few shots as well. Both images shot with Burke & James...

Holy crap, these portraits are stunning while being completely unnerving. I love it.

Anymore thai street walkers? (that sounds really creepy...)

Nikon 450m f/9 b&j 810 Fuji acros 100 in pyrocat hd

these aren't really large format but they are done by scanning in various negatives (mostly 6x6, 6x7 and 4x5) then composing an image using photoshop. Once i get an image I like I make a digital...

I just got back from Los Angeles and I had stopped in at the Getty and they had a pretty big exhibit of Andre Kertesz. I was unfamiliar with him up until this past Friday. I really enjoyed his work....

Highlights are a little blown out but I kinda like 'em.

14" Ektar, Ilford FP4+(edwal fg7 68degrees and scanned), and my...

Thank you very much! I checked out megaperls and bookmarked it for the future. I did a quick Bay search and found that MPX was selling a box of acros 8x10 so I snatched it up immediately!

When I used to shoot a lot of medium format I loved Fuji Acros 100 and I still am fond of it but I'm really annoyed by Fuji's almost complete lack of B&W sheet film in the USA. I've been told all of...

Have you heard of bleach by-pass? The movie saving private ryan used the technique, when processing positives they simply skip the bleaching step which leaves a lot of the silver salts and what not...

personally, I like the look of clip frames. I have a few personal and family type photos in clip frames as well as two 'real photos' of mine in clip frames. The bigger they are the easier they break...

I need help finding information on magnification issues from scanning negative from 35mm all the way up to 8x10. The final output for these scans will be to scan the negative, do some light...

Kerik -
Have you and Tsuyoshi Ito figured out a date for the postponed Collodion seminar at Project Basho? I'd love to go. Your collodion shots are always really good, I saw you site a couple weeks...

I consider art to be any type of creative process(painting, sculpting, music, photography, blah blah) that forces a response from the viewer at some emotional level. Be it positive or negative, as...

these are some older color photos from the past two years. Nudes shot with ToyoCX, girl on floor ToyoCF. Both Fuji NPS160 and 210 f/6.8 Geronar. I no longer own any equipment mentioned....

I've been shooting LF for about 5 years. Part of my education was you had to learn to use a view camera if you wanted to graduate. Not many students took to it since at the digital was becoming more...

Dave,
That portrait is something else! It has an incredible feel to it. Is that a scanned neg or scanned print? It has such a nice tone to it, I'm curious...

I've been trying to get to the Neue Galerie for awhile, I think I just love Austrian painters as a whole. Iggy Pop is apparently a fan of Schiele...

Five or so years ago I was reading something about David Bowie and they mentioned his taste in art and how the cover for Heros and Lodger were inspired by the poses of Egon Schiele. A week later I...

Monty - Thank you for the comments, I appreciate it. I'm new here so I'm sure I'll post more in the future, i like this site. I absolutely love the wet plate you posted. The lack of detail in the...

all shot with my old Toyo CF over the summer. 210mm f/6.8 Geronar, AB800 Strobe with 20 degree grid for the first two and two AB800s one with softbox and the other bare for the second one. I think....

Between these two images I have to choose Wall. Although, I feel that Crewdson's body of work as a whole is far more interesting than Wall's work. I prefer Gregory Crewdson's lighting schemes a...

Mark - Thank you, I appreciate your comment! Ha, a secret society? What type of secret LF projects would that entail?

I've used the MF Fuji FP-100 but the 4x5 says its in a pack? You can't use that in a regular 545i? I'm confused.

There is some amazing work in this thread!

I've been organizing negatives lately so I thought I'd share these from a little of 3 years ago:
