I'm a real beginner in 4x5.
I wanted to test my new macro lens, a Rodenstock Ysaron 75mm, with a landscape shot, to see the size of the image circle.
Shoot at f/16.
Ilford FP4+, developped in a Paterson tank (I started developping two weeks ago).
Scanned with a light table on a V500.
I forgot to drop the Graflex dropbed.

Interesting -- I like having the bed in the image

Count me in on that opinion. The camera bed adds to the composition. I think it's a very significant element in this.

Now just don't try to say "I meant to do that" ;-)

I also like the bed. Sort of forces you to recognize that this is a flat image taken by a camera, not the real thing. Ceçi n'est pas une bâtiment.

This is not large format, but the title reminded me. Forgive me ;)
