Large Format Landscapes

That works great. You will get the benefit of the 48bit rgb but output to grey. I usually keep it as 48bit rgb which gives me options in photoshop for the processing. I can pass it thru Nik SilverEfxpro if wanted or use many different options for the final black and white. But your method works great as well.

So for now, I have got in the habit of checking front and rear standards as part of my set up routine. I know your supposed to do this any ways, but since these are held by friction, it really needs to be done each time. The clamps will prevent this and will be used to zero out if swing is ever used. They will also allow shifting without any swing being introduced.

Would love to see the setup once it’s done and all.

Okay. Need to get a machinist to make them. Pretty simple. I have the parts, just need to have it made.

Here is a very neat comparison of same image, but one is digital IR and the other is Tmax100. Digital is 15mm lens at f/2.5, the 75mm on Tmax was at f/4.5. If you look closely you will see the film caught stuff digital did not and vice versa since I was using 720nm filter on a full spectrum sensor. Notice the IR picked up a bolt coming straight at us and thru camp where as the Tmax did not (since it wasn't sensitive to IR) This would be interesting to use IR film.

Nice idea about the IR film. Hope you weren't standing too close to a metal tripod.

Chamonix 45n-2, Ektar 100, polariser and 3 stop soft GND. It was blowing a gale and I was a bit rushed for time but I think it turned out pretty well.

Carbon fiber tripod. I was more of a lightning rod than tripod. My cars were too.
