Hi Everyone,
I've been shooting 35mm for about ten years now, and just got my first 4x5 about six months ago. I love it and haven't picked up my 35 since then. I've been carrying around a tripod most of the time, but about a month ago started using my Linhof Technika IV handheld, and have had a lot of fun with it.
Recently I've been wanting to bring it with me into interiors around Los Angeles at night, i.e. small concert venues, abandoned buildings, etc. I'd like to put together some kind of bracket and flash unit so I can start experimenting with it, but haven't come across much info on the net about it. Most of the brackets I see are for smaller cameras and not much else. Additionally, I'm very familiar with studio flash, but have never really used any kind of mobile flash units.
I was hoping to get some advice on the topic from more experienced large format photographers. Any advice/info would be really helpful. Thanks-
