What is the Most Difficult Large Format Photography
What is the most difficult photography?
Not the most difficult location, such as Mt Everest, deep sea, balloon aerial, warfare
Perhaps the demanding visual criteria of high cost homes, buildings for sale and expensive interiors of yachts, airplanes
Perhaps LF Studio cameras may be the only way to
Apple Park?

I would think LF macro work rates up there with the hard ones to do.

LF DSO or planetary astrophotography is ludicrously impossible enough that — with no exceptions I can think of — only large, professional observatories could accomplish it.

Portraits. Too many critics and opinions.
Re: What is the Most Difficult Large Format Photography
For me, definitely portraiture. I think that it all depend on one's own personality. I've done some nice portraits. But, I prefer photography where people are absent.

...or it is too easy. Landscapes can be the same way.
But basically, I'd say any image-making where time is an issue can be a challenge for LF.

You said MICRO. Do you mean working above 1:1 with an LF camera and its lens (macro or not) or with a microscope with a trinocular head or something equivalent?
If not with a microscope and the subjects are mobile, how do you plan to maintain focus and composition while inserting the film holder etc. ? I ask because I've fiddled with using focusing frames with a Graphic and gave up.

i said MICRO in all caps to make it perfectly clear that i meant micro, with a microscope, not macro.
