Hi! This is my first post on this forum. I like photographing people and places. Recently got my first LF camera. The attached shot is from Rosamond, California, that I took last week. Shot with a Deardorff 8x10, 240mm Rodenstock, f/16 @ 1/125 sec., Fujichrome 100.
Cool shot.
Welcome!
belle,
nice start, welcome to the addiction.
Nice photo! Ya done that 'dorff proud! Welcome aboard
I steal time at 1/125th of a second, so I don't consider my photography to be Fine Art as much as it is petty larceny.
Great shot, love the contradiction depicted here.
8x10 is heavy, cumbersome, and slow. There are way too many steps, procedures, and processes that are involved (compared to small formats or digital). It requires a lot of patience and thinking to compose, measure lighting, and to shoot. Loading takes time, so does processing and scanning. And the weight of the tripod is just outrageous. What can I say. I just LOVE it. Thank you for welcoming me into the addiction.
welcome belle nice shot love the colors
If that doesn't say, "California" to someone from the Midwest, I don't know what does! Great start to my day, thanks!

Politically, aerodynamically, and fashionably incorrect.
Welcome, Bella!
Ain't 8x10 grand?!
Just for fun, here is another classic California image (only I am not sure that it is CA -- it might be just over the border in Arizona...on Business Hwy 8-- it was a while back). It is also just a tiny 6cmx6cm neg. Scanned form a RA4 print I made.

cool. too bad you couldn't have found a 50's vintage buick to park in the shot!
