Jess & Chloe (Chloe is the quadruped) from about 8 years ago.
Iris from last summer using an old Petzval. I posted this in a "Portraits" thread a while back.

Both from my Deardorff 5X7

Here’s a dog from the wild to throw into the mix.

I was composing a shot when I heard this coyote in the grass behind me. So I simply swung my camera around and snapped a shot. Moments later, he pulled a rodent out of the ground, swallowed it whole, and trotted back into the screen of trees.

I think his hunger brought him into the field – he didn’t seem too curious about me or my tripod.

Heroique,
Wow, large format nature photography. Don't see a lot of that, do we?
Best wishes,
Pete.

You're right, a rare wildlife shot in my 4x5 portfolio.

Here’s a grainy crop of my wily friend – quite a handsome fellow, don’t you think? And a healthy coat of fur.

Plus the classic expression by clever animals in the wild: “I’m pretending not to notice you, but I notice you all the same.”

Ok! I've been waiting for this category. One of my first 4X5 shots, with a basic calumet, around 1975. I'm just getting back into it after a 30 yr hiatus.

Had to try to photograph my rabbits with Toyo monorail camera yesterday

They were somewhat sleepy so I could focus and take a picture. The angle where picture is taken from is not a perfect, but I could not go lower - they would came instantly and lick the front element of my camera's lens... Or eat the lens hood


Some practicing and prefocusing and perhaps I could take a portrait in the living room.

Some great shots in here, I am especially fond of Michael W's shot.

I have a recent shot to add, of our Ragdoll Merlin. I thought this shot was a loss after scanning with Vuescan, but upon the installation of the OEM Epson software it scanned fine, go figure.

2nd shot is of Kira, a Burmese. There are some newton rings in the scan as I had to scan it directly on the glass, because the film holder cropped the tip of her paw.

Rochelle and Luka doing some training yesterday.

My buddy Max on 8x10.


Yellowstone Big Horn on 4X5...I probably screwed up 3 Velvia QLs before I decided if I wanted this guy, I better shoot TXP!


Much easier when they sit down!


It was rainy when I shot these and I almost gave up, I want to shoot again this year with 8x10...glutton for punishment!
