Nana, what was your exposure time for this one? There is motion in the clouds and the water, but still a sense of detail.

Thanks, Rick

The exposure time was 5 seconds. This was a very windy day, clouds were very low, so, they were passing really fast.

Very impressive shots, but noisy and "digital" scans.

Thanks, Federico.

When you have a bit dense negative and you try to get some detail on sky, with a scanner wich costs 600 euros, like the Epson v700, you will have some noise, for sure.

As to "digital" scans, I don't understand that, is there any ANALOG SCANNER? If there is, tell me, I wanna buy one...

[Nana Sousa Dias]

Wow! That's terrific Nana.

Thanks, Peter

That is a very good point and it really makes the picture. I have to say that I am not so succesfull on my "longer" exposure .

An old one, but it'll have to do for now.

Austin,

Having spent thousands of hours at the Grand Canyon over 10 years, I came to one conclusion. The canyon is one hell of a tough subject for black and white film.

Thanks, Nicolas.

I made this camera to be a quick setup. I shoot a lot during winter, with big waves and strong winds, so, many times I have to run fast to escape from waves.

This camera has a ground glass but it also has as an external viewfinder wich I adapted to the camera. Focus is fixed at the hiperfocal distande of f8, so, at f22, I have all in focus from 90cm (3 feet) to infinity. Usually, I do light metering with a spotmeter in a secure place, I put filters (if required) on camera, fix aperture, shutter speed, put a film holder and go to the spot I want, compose with external viewfinder, shoot and run. This camera is fantastic for my seascape work.

Thank you Nana, I've made a similar camera but I like your approach better. It's really a "run and gun" setup... Interesting indeed.
Best regards.
