Hi LF photography,
I've a question I'm hoping those of you with more experience can help with. I shoot long exposures of the ocean with Acros on 120 but have been considering replacing my 2x3 Century Graphic with a 4x5 to take advantage of the larger negative. I'm familiar with 4x5 but have never taken the time to do long exposures in b&w on that size.
I've been pondering however if the larger negative size will make as big a difference as in a normal shot given that much of my work is just blurred soft water. I could see it going either way when I think of it though, 4x5 long exposures seem like they would have a greater tonality at the least to the water. Can anyone with experience share their knowledge?
