Still going through all these amazing images. I recently got into 4x5 and this was my first effort (also my first time developing film at home). It's been fun revisiting old compositions with a new "eye".
- Intrepid 4x5
- Fujinon-W 150mm f/5.6
- Metered with an iPhone app (Lightme)
- HP5 / D-76 1:1

Thank you Martin.
My camera does not have scales for movements so I cannot tel you how much tilt I used, but for sure less than anticipated when I had the idea of the photo. Also I stopped down to f/45.
This is lovely.Quote:

Many thanks, and good luck!Quote:

Metro Imaging in London. Seemed to do a decent job, although a bit on the pricey side. I mourn the loss of Peak Imaging :(Quote:

Yeah it's a real shame about Peak. I got the impression they hadn't really moved with the times - ie they weren't offering an economical dev&scan option for the burgeoning hipster market, instead all the scanning was aimed at the almost-extinct film wedding photographer market at £20+ per image and they would post you a CD-rom (despite computers with CD drives being rare now).Quote:

I really like the tones and composition. Very nice.Quote:
