My very first 8x10 photograph. 300mm lens, Delta 100. My V700 is out of commission during renovations, so I just held it up to a window and took a digital photograph. (my thumb is at the bottom) :-)

2 bulbs @ 36 feet. GN of 500 per bulb = f22

I like the 810 and flashbulbs. It is a GIANT PITA to frame/focus the image. This is a bit off kilter. I think the back standard was off a bit and it needed to pan left a bit.

Storm Clouds over the MN Capitol and St Paul Cathedral - 4x5 Portra 400 VC


Yes this is edited. I haven't shot much Portra so I am no expert with it. Here is what Epson Scan gave me after some minor color adjustments:

Depending on the scan settings and whatnot you can vary the color quite a bit. But the scene was way more orange. I don't think that straight scan is representative of what the Portra negative actually holds. I know Portra is not supposed to be saturated but here is a straight unedited raw file from a D300s:

Under-exposed for the sky which increased the saturation a bit but still way more orange than the straight Portra scan. The sky was incredibly orange that evening which is why I don't think the scan is right.
