My first color 4x5 shoot. I like how it came out. Just wish shooting with color sheets would be cheaper.
Any c&c would be nice.

Love these portraits. About the lines, wouldn't the light leak produce a brighter line, not darker? Maybe there was something that touched the emulsion in that place slightly when developing?(No...

perfect DOF.

Thanks



Luck, it was my first day trying the wet plate process

I love everything about the portrait! Excellent lighting, composition, depth of field and the subject. Strong!

I've just took the glass of, it's strange. It looks like the ground glass is clean, and that clear glass(that I thought was only for protection) is glued to the ground glass and has all the guides...

Thanks, no it's not a fresnel screen. It's a simple frosted ground glass, and a clear glass on top of it. So as I understand, it's safe to just remove it, and don't bother putting a new one on top of...

Hi, I accidentally dropped my camera's back on the ground and it seems like the glass was damaged. I've only noticed now, that it has a clear glass over the ground glass. Do all view cameras use that...

Well, then we have different opinions.

As for love of film processing, I can't say I agree with that. I started taking photographs when digital photography was already available. Though my first...

Jay, in many cases yes, but I wasn't giving an example for only oil paintings. Watercolor doesn't have texture, except for the paper itself. But you know what I ment

I think it's about traditions, quality and love for photography. Why painters paint, when they can do the same with a tablet and photoshop?

Thank you all very much for your explanations! I will go out and observe these things to see for my self.

I am sorry but I don't understand how does rising or lowering the front or rear standard affect the picture? Do you take advantage of the lens' distortion? Cause otherwise I don't get why wouldn't...

Thanks, well I understand about the brighter sky. But that building has some green lights around the windows, so I am thinking about shooting it at night. That way the sky shouldn't be brighter than...

I've decided to make a series of photographs with portraits in front of distorted buildings. When I distort them with movements, I get very shallow DOF, so I need to use f64 (tried f32 - not sharp...

Thank you for suggestions, I know keh. I've bought many times from them, just the shipping prices seems random. I payed 6$ for shipping the film back for my bronica, and I payed 14$ for shipping two...

Very nice portraits everyone!

Thank you all for you comments.

cowanw, I'll try to experiment more. I am not sure what does "the lips being pasted on" mean, but it was the main subject, and those lips are nothing but a...

Thanks, I agree with you, but I am not very good with movements, and couldn't achieve that. I shot it wide open, and tried to make only the lips in focus, but couldn't get both shoulders and the face...

It's my first picture post here, and I am not sure wether I should put it in "november portraits" thread or not. Since it's november, but the portrait was taken a few months ago.

I don't have...

I am quite new to LF photography. I have started shooting with 35mm film about 7 years ago, then I got a digital camera, but I've always preferred film, so I sold it and bought medium format bronica....
