How About A New Picture Post?

[Andrew O'Neill]

Thought I'd revive the old picture thread with a new, fresh one.
All pics are from HP5+ 8x10 negs (straight scans of proof prints) with the exception of the little church in Shulus. Thats on Rollei 4x5 IR with a #25 filter.
The leaf on the Arbutus stumped was held in place with chewing gum...hey, it was a windy day and that's all I had!

[Andrew O'Neill]

It is a cattle feeder. I like it there. Its part of the scene.

Sorry, but it is distracting. When you look at the image, the eye goes right to the cattle feeder...is that what you intended? As it is so small an not really part of the scene, I don't think so.
All these little details, we need to be aware of. They can really take away from a really nice image...and yours is really nice, dont' get me wrong.

[Alex Hawley]

Andrew, thank you for both the compliment and suggestion. I see what you are saying.

[Mark Sawyer]

Getting the new thread rolling...

I made this one on Sept. 12, 2006, the 160th anniversary of Elizabeth Barret Browning and Robert Browning eloping, (those are two of their books). Yeah, I should be embarrassed, posting such smut...

11x14 Burke & James, 300mm Fuji-L Tessar, Arista 100 film (which I've grown to dislike) in HC110, Ilford MGIV FB (which I've grown to love), slightly sepia toned.

[Jeffrey Sipress]

Well, since I posted one on the 'old' thread, and since this forum has no regular display area, here's one done since that.

Found a great old Caterpillar bulldozer up in the White Mtns of California. Still operating, but fortunately it wasn't running when I made this image with my Ebony SV45U, 90mm Rodenstock, and a sheet of Delta 100.

Here are a couple of my children. The first is of my daughter Counti when she was 5 (She is now 6). Wet Plate Collodion Tintype 5 x 7 shot on an 8 x 10 with a reconfigured holder. The second one is one I posted of my son towards the end of the LF Portrait thread but I thought I would post it here too in case some missed it on that thread. Its one of the first I have done on the 20 x 24 camera that made it to my doorstep this summer. Satchel Cochise 4 years old Pt/Pd Gumover. Larger than one to one on the print. If you saw it before forgive but hey they're my kids ya know! I have some time off from traveling for work in early December and hope to get some 20 x 24 Wet Plate work done and if so I'll put some of those in the thread if any of them make it through the gauntlet of problems that seem to find plates that big.

continued success,

I made this image using an old agfa doppel lens that came on a 6x9 folder. It J*just* covered 4x5 however. Unfortunately it seems that I fried the neg abit - I was trying to compensate for the lack of contrast.

Here are some pictures with a Wollensak Vitax No.4 Portrait lens, an APO-Skopar 45cm lens and a Heliar 36cm lens.

[Jim Galli]

Beautiful images Eric and Hugo. Hugo, so which lens goes with which pictures. I'll guess the first 2 soft images are with the Vitax, the shovel and blade is the Heliar and the Shell is the Skopar. Also, Mr. Kitchen, your images are breathtaking.

[Hugo Zhang]

Jim,

The third one was by Skopar and last one, the shell, was by 36cm Heliar. Thanks for your tip on the Skopar, there is something about that lens set it apart from the Artar.
BTW, congratulations on your latest win!

[Mark Sawyer]

Yes, Hugo, lovely images, especially with the Vitax. Jim, your P&S VQ portrait was wonderful too... Methinks we need a soft-focus picture thread...

[Mark Sawyer]

Mark, I like that Browning elopement picture of yours and keep wondering what kind of 300mmm you used for that picture of window?

Thank you, Hugo; I rather like the image of the Brownings too... A loaded image...

The 300mm lens used on the window is one of a series I cobbled together myself. Perhaps it's my lower standards for images more than my higher knowledge of optics, but I'm happy with what they've given me. If you'll all forgive the indulgence, three slightly larger scans, the first made with the IWSW-gon (my lens) at about f/4, the second done with a Velostigmat 12" with the diffuser cranked on full to 5 at f/4.5, and finally, one from a 12" Dagor at f/6.8:

[Hugo Zhang]

To tell you the truth, I find the first one taken with the lens you cobbled together is most appealing. That funky lens somehow conveyed the mood of the subject matter.:)

[Hugo Zhang]

I am in a mood to post a few more...

Well, don't forget that your coverage just about doubles by the time you focus at 1:1...

That's true! But what if I'm 6 feet away like I was in that shot? I can never do the math...

Harry -

I really like that second shot, and I'm not a fan of color. The first shot caught my interest too, but not for aesthetic reasons. The contrast between the skyscrapers in the background with the rundown homes in the foreground struck me for some reason.

Is Portra a negative film? If so, do you print the traditional way or do you scan and print digitally?

Eric.

[roteague]

Thanks Amund for your kind words. I'm afraid I'm not much of a B&W photographer, but I did shoot a few on this last trip. My interests are much more for color.

Great images Harry. I especially like the second one. Interesting to see that you are using negative film - I would have thought that you would use Provia F or something like that. But, great image.

Re: coverage increasing with closer focus


That's true! But what if I'm 6 feet away like I was in that shot? I can never do the math...

One way to check is to know the actual angle of coverage of the lens and measure the actual distance from flange to film, then grab your scientific calculator and do a little trig.

For whatever it's worth, I've got a 105 mm Agnar (triplet, originally from a 6x9 cm roll film folder) that gives dim and fuzzy corners (on 4x5) at f/32 when focused for infinity, but when extended enough to focus at about 12 feet, it's sharp into the corners and fully illuminated at that stop. The extension for 12 feet relative to infinity is very small, only a few mm, but with the 45 or so degree coverage of the lens, every mm I extend the lens expands the coverage diameter by about the same amount. So, if (as seems likely) your 120 mm lens covers around 130 mm at infinity, you'd need to extend it by about 30 mm to be comfortable with no movements on 4x5 -- which probably isn't far from your six foot focus. Add to that the fact that, as a large format photographer, you're likely to stop down more than would have been the case in that lens's original application, and you gain some more.

Easy to check, if you don't mind burning a few sheets -- set the aperure to the widest value you're likely to use a lot, and focus on the horizon, fifty feet, twelve feet or so, six, and maybe three or four; give identical exposures by varying only shutter speed, and see how your negatives look for illumination and corner sharpness. Half an hour or less with the camera and an hour in the darkroom, and you'll have your answer, once and for all.

Dominikus BW

Dominikus ~ Thank you for the thought; I don't know what answer I could give you though... the train of thought behind any photograph wanders along its own track. This was a reaction to hearing about the Browning's anniversary, probably on NPR... It struck me enough to take down their old books and read them, which struck me enough to want to make a photograph, and all I had to work with were a couple of books...

And my thoughts stray easily...

I've often photographed books before, and believe very much in Minor White's philosophy of photographing things not only "for what they are, but for what else they are..."

Sometimes we are only reacting to an accident of form or light. I do that too. But sometimes I want it to be more than that...

Other books, this one more loaded (to me) than the last...

I think your answer is more than enough for me
I agree that "the train of thought behind any photograph wanders along its own track", but i think that the train of thought is come from our self too, cos who control our eyes & mind to take a picture is our self...
What you said about Minor White's philosophy make me think twice maybe more about what I am going to make, and makes me want to look at arround me and make a simple pictures...
I like your pictures, cos is different in my eyes...
Thank Mark, now I'm more confident in the train of my tought...

Bronwyn and I are at Bermagui on the NSW coast for a week [another 1800km drive :) -- opposite direction this time ] and would you believe it has rained each day so far. I'm certainly not complaining as the country is desperate for any rain at all. If I can get out I want to take some seascapes with the Verito and Petzval to see the type of images I can get.

Well looking out side it has cleared enough to risk water on the bellows so I better try to expose some film.

Rain isn't welcome when you are on holiday, however..... like you said, the country really needs it. I hope that when I get back to Bright (in October), it will be green again, like I'm used to seeing it.

Have a great trip, and expose some film!!!

[roteague]

Here is another image from my recent trip. Steve was with me at this location, so perhaps he will post his version, when he gets home.

http://www.visionlandscapes.com/images/OcrePits.jpg

Located in West MacDonnell National Park, Northern Territory, Australia, this location is known as the Ochre Pits. The pits consist of several layers of multi-colored, layered rock that was traditionally used by the Aborigines in various ceremonies. These Ochre Pits, and there are only 4 in all of Australia, were the source for all the different Aboriginal tribes on the continent.

This image was taken with a Toyo 45AII camera, using a Schneider APO-Symmar 210mm F5.6 lens, Fuji Velvia 50 and a Horseman 6x12 roll film back - to give a panoramic viewpoint. Additionally, this is a difficult place from which to shoot, since the walls of the pits is normally washed out by the sunlight. On the day I visited, I was lucky that there was quite a bit of cloud cover. This allowed me to concentrate on the colors and patterns of the cliff face.

[splanken]

Eric - nice pics of Arizona!! Where were these taken from? I am thinking of heading out there on a road trip with a heavy 8x10 camera. I am hoping I can shoot from the car (with a small walk to the shooting site). Were your shots within easy walking distance from a road?
Nice website too by the way. I love the sand cliff wall abstracts...

But what was the message the owls brought you? Are you going to Hogwarts?

There were twenty of them in the same tree when I arrived. I think the message was something along the lines of "Practice your chops slowcoach!"

I'm old enough to have spent my youth reading all those boys' school stories that HarryP rips off. And good childrens magic books like Susan Cooper and Ursula Le Guin. Harry's a bit cheap 'n' airporty in comparison - and perniciously anacronistic. Still, if someone offered me a place at that French school full of angelic wizardesses I might swallow my pride.


I do like the square format!

If I were a wizard, Portra would come in 5" rolls.


PS: nice trees.

[Robert Hughes]

Ursula LeGuin's "A Wizard of Earthsea" does a great pre-Hogwarts wizard school. What I love about ULG's Earthsea is - there are no good guy / bad guy ethical struggles. Each person has his own motivations and reasons for what they do, and even if they are antithetical to the hero's wishes, you can still understand why they are what they are.

By the way, I am a newbie LF photog who happend to find the missing Ford Anglia in the woods - take a look: Busch Pressman D 4x5, Shanghai b&w / D76 (scanned negative).

[Vaughn]

I have read the HPotter books because of my three 9 year old boys -- they are fun to read to them. When they get older (pretty soon) they can read my Ursula Le Guin books and all the Sci Fi books I have stashed away.

I do like how you composed the tree within the square -- one's eye is in constant motion within it. I took a photo of some vultures in a tree along the Costa Rican coast (4x5) -- by the time I was finished more and more were flying in. I think they thought that the black shrouded body (darkcloth over my head) was a sign of some good dead meat.

[darr]

darr,

Lovely portraits! what kind of lighting did you use?

Thank you Hugo!

Setup was on my screened porch (a favorite place) with overcast late afternoon light coming in at a 90 degree angle. I took a total of six exposures, and by the time we made number four, it started to rain. The background is the cement wall that actually has a rough pattern, but I knew setting the lens at f/4.5 the bokeh would take care of it. I metered the hot side and the cold side and found about a 2-3 stop difference and went with the middle. In the old days I might have used fill flash or a reflector to try and bring them closer, but anymore I try to play it real simple.

Kind Regards,
Darr

[lee\c]

I agree Darr, lovely portraits.

[David A. Goldfarb]

I haven't been in the darkroom much since this guy was born, but I am getting the occasional Polaroid in when I can--

http://www.echonyc.com/~goldfarb/who/21.jpg

Sinar 8x10" P with 4x5" reducing back and that sliding back I bought from Frank Petronio, shutter mounted Busch Vademecum 205mm combo at about f:8 (wide open), 1 sec. (really, he held still for 1 sec!), Polaroid Type 55.

Normally the Busch Vademecum set comes in a barrel with a maximum 19mm aperture, but I had this one mounted in a Copal Press #1 shutter, which has a maximum aperture of 30mm. At the wide apertures it becomes a kind of funky soft lens with the shorter focal length combinations, and at longer focal lengths, you get an extra half to a full stop.

[darr]

:) Thank you lee\c.

I will assume congratulations are in order David? Beautiful baby and you did a very lovely portrait of little Melchior. When the little guy grows up, I am sure all the work (and gear) that went into making this timeless portrait will be greatly appreciated.

Congrats,
Darr

[David A. Goldfarb]

Thanks, Darr.

[Vaughn]

Beautiful image. Photograph a lot before Melchior begins to crawl! I did a lot of manipulated SX-70's of my boys in the pre-crawling stage. Once they started to crawl, I could never get them to stay still in one spot long enough!

Now , though, I am taking 30 sec to 60 sec long exposures of my boys in the redwoods.

Rory R, would you please share some more info about this photograph of yours. I can imagine a long exposure where drifting water is involved, but I'm amazed the flowers (?) are hardly moving. I really like it!

[Rory_5244]

Good grief. Someone comments. Those are mangrove saplings in the water. The University here is replanting mangrove along the west coast of Trinidad for conservation/biodiversity/coastal erosion prevention/Tsunami barrier reasons, among others. Exposure was about 4 minutes. I used two 3 stop ND filters to lengthen the exposure time in the mid-afternoon light. There was some wind but the saplings were pretty immobile and the Arca is a brick. Thank you for commenting, Patrik. :) :)

New Year Sunrise over Mt. Fuji. I slept in my car and started climbing at 2AM to reach the summit of a near by mountain to capture this picture of Mt. Fuji. It was a 1600 meter elevation change/climb from the parking lot to the top. This was take just at the moment of sunrise on 8x10 Velvia 50. I learned just how heavy 8x10 can be, especially when climbing on 3 hours of sleep. This was shot on a Wehman 8x10 with a Cooke XVa at 311mm at f/11 for 1/4s with a PL filter. The scan is a little dark, sorry!

Thank you for your kind comments, Timothy!

I'm not sure I really have anything useful to share for windy readyload use. For that photo http://www.keyesphoto.com/Grandview2.html - I think as I was pressing on the top of the Technika with my arm - I think I had my elbow over the body fo the camera and that let my hand hold the end ot the readyload envelope. THe exposures were only in the 1 second range, so it was not too hard to try and be steady. You don't say how long your exposures were for, but I don't think I would have too much luck with anything much longer than a couple of seconds...

I've been thinking of making a little envelope "holder" for windy conditions. Something like those plexiglass ground glass protectors that you insert into the camera where the film holder sits and they come back over the back of the ground glass to protect it. It seems like something light and stiff that fit into the back of the camera - but between the quick/readyload holder and then extended out to where the end of the extended sleeve sits, and then it curves back around to engage the extended sleeve would work. (I hope that makes sense...) It would not have to completely enclose the envelope, just shield it somewhat and probably more importantly restrict its movement. Actually, you need a cut out or missing edge of the shield so that you can move the envelope sleeve in and out between shots.

I see you're in Hong Kong - do you know those guys that are making all those great large format parts and selling them on ebay? Maybe this is some thing they could work on. Just have them send me a prototype in exchange for the concept!

[walter23]

My only means of "scanning" right now is by digital SLR copy-work on a makeshift light table (glass suspended above an LCD monitor). As such, there are sharpness, tonal range, and colour problems.

All with Shen Hao 4x5, velvia 100 or delta 100, caltar-II N 90/6.8 or 210/5.6.

Be as critical as you want - I'm pretty new to LF photography; the colour ones are from my first 10 box of velvia, and I still have < 100 shots on my shen hao.

[Frank Petronio]

i like the tricycle and the crack pipe. In fact I'm morbidly fascintated by the crack pipe shot.

Where you finding your crackheads William? No worries or do you have some stories to go with the photos?

[walter23]

I also like the crackhead one.

And on the subject of crackheads - here's a shot I took last year of the plague in my city (http://ashphotography.ca/gunther/uploads/pages/photoaday/072806IMG_7554.jpg). It's a digital SLR shot at 12mm, I think it was, but the lighting really manifested itself to make this shot work out. This isn't photoshop - the city was really that gloomy looking. Serendipity is the photographer's best friend.

[william linne]

Umm, yeah, there are lots of stories to go along with those photos. I used to be heavily involved in that milieu. Maybe not in the way you think. That print is much more beautiful than the scan. He's an old drug buddy of mine that just couldn't put the pipe down. Here's another one I took that same day, on the way down.

Hi Kirk,

For my picture the exposure was 30 seconds, and I was trying to hold the quickload envelop with two hands while tripping the shutter in T-mode... I wish I had an assistant who can hold an umbrella/shield for me at the time!
The idea of a protector is interesting but I suppose it need to be really tight fit so it doesn't wobble itself...I don't know of any HK guy who make LF gadgets, may be I need to go on ebay and have a look.

Maybe just my perception...

Thanks for your kind comment.

That picture was actually shot at the same time on both B&W and color, I have two B&W negs and two color transparencies. It looks good both ways. The B&W web image at www.henryambrose.com is a desaturated file from the color film scan but I've printed the B&W in the darkroom and sold a print or two. The prints look just like what's there on the screen. Red 25 filter, Delta 100 in Xtol. Color was 100VS I think.
