5x7 Still Life

[Gordon Lucas]

I just joined so thought a post was in order. This shot was an assignment for the Facebook "Fans of Large Format Still Life Photography".

"Hardy Magic" was taken with a Toyo G57, HP5 5x7 sheet film developed in Pyrocat HD 1:1:100, exposed at 1/125th at f16 with a Fujinon-L 250mm f5.6 lens. Negative digitized on a light box with a Pentax DSLR and Tamron 90mm f2.8 macro lens. I used 2 globes over Calumet Travellite strobes.

Thanks for looking in.

I love it, I can relate on two fronts, I love shooting 5x7, and I've been fly fishing for as long as I nave been into cameras and darkroom work, since the age of 10. I even have a roll of Maxima 2lb tippet in my vest pocket, and a couple of Hardy reels.
