Re: Large Format Landscapes
My first venture into LF photography and my first time showing on LFPF. I took the camera out on 1/7 for a sunrise in Clearwater Florida and took 6 photographs. This was the best of the bunch. Not the greatest composition but I'm still learning to compose with a view camera. The colors seem off depending on which monitor/browser I use. It shouldn't be too oversaturated.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nana, very nice images, as usual. The first seascape is excellent.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nana, but are very nice images. Wonderful tones in the second, very rich. The first does not look like a 47mm to my eye, if your homemade is a 4x5. To me it has much more of a normal perspective. Real fine image either way.

Thank you, Harley.
In fact, that's the lens I'm shooting more with for landscape photography, nowadays. The camera is 4x5". This lens corresponds to a 12mm, it's 120š wide.
I made this camera with fixed focus wich I fixed on about 9 ft, actually, 2,80 mt, wich is the hiperfocal distance for f8, for this lens and 4x5 format. That results in a DOF from 3ft to infinity at f22, the aperture I use with this camera mostly.
I equiped the camera with external viewfinder, as long as a groundglass wich I rarely use.
This turned out to be very adequate for seascape photography, wich I shoot the most.
The camera is very fast to operate, I just have to fix aperture and shutter speed, insert a film holder, go to the spot, compose with the external viewfinder, shoot, and run fast. I usually shoot during autumn winter and spring and here, where I live, sea isnīt flat at that time of the year. You can see it here, this was shot in 2011, 80 miles from where I live, it's a about 98 ft high wave...although, I've never seen a wave this big, fortunatelly!!!!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I like this, Vinny. Do those deep black have a texture to them in the print, or did you let them go pure black? (I can see more in the blacks on the Flicker image)?

The print has a bit of detail but I did print it pretty dark.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
it gives the eye a good reason to travel quickly up the road to the light at the end. Well done!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I was just looking back at some shots from a couple of years back where we had a very snowy winter, in contrast to this january where we've already had 12degrees and its forecast to be warm again this week. I\m not sure if I've posted this before, apologies if so:
http://www.daveparryphotography.co.u...8fa765d5e4.jpg
Velvia 4x5. Can't remember if the lens was a 90 or 150. Maybe 150 Symmar-s. No filters on this one.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Awesome, dave!!
Love the side lighting and the "snake-like water flow" (sorry, don't know how to express this exactly in English ;-) )
Greetings,

The colors appear pretty cold on my computer.
Tough to follow Nana with a similar theme. Keep shooting! :)

I love that camera...
Now, I'm designing a 8x10" camera, I sold out my Kodak 2D, I need something with more movements. I have a 8x10" and 5x7" reducing back from a Cambo Legend 8x10". I have 3 lenses wich cover 8x10", so I "just" need to build the middle part of the camera!:D

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I can't seem to get blue tones like that from Fuji 160. What do you expose at?
-
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Hi Corran,
Expose at 160, but I usually go over by a half stop. I worked on the scan in Photoshop with curves to get these colours.

Thanks, Sam. Certainly not the first photo taken at this spot, and certainly not the last to be sure. But I think I made this image my own. The clouds were moving left-to-right and thankfully I was slow in setting up and did not get the clouds centered as I originally planned. For me the interaction between the face of the hill and the clouds give the image energy that would have been otherwise missing with the clouds centered.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice 617 davidbogdan. Is that from the nice sunset we had here in Michigan last week? Is that lake by Brighton? I'm up in St John's.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks for the comments!! And yes Panoman617, although not last week, the shot is from Kensington Metro Park just a few miles east of Brighton.;)

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I shot this a couple weeks ago. It's a view down the Santa Rosa Creek watershed. The road in the center is a popular, albeit very difficult bicycle ride in SLO county aptly called "The Wall"

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice image!
We have our own "Wall" up here in Humboldt County (on the Tour of the Unknown Coast -- considered one of the toughest centuries in CA) -- your image reminds me that I need to get the camera there one of these days!

Re: Large Format Landscapes
Nice image Peter! I bet that view would also look good in color and IR.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
davidbogdan witch 6x17 are you shooting? I drive my Kensington about once a week to Detroit.
-
Re: Large Format Landscapes
Thanks Vaughn and Thomas! I appreciate your kind words.
I've been on the Tour of the Unknown Coast Vaughn. It was back in the mid 90's. I was too wimpy to do the century back then (implying that I'm stronger now... NOT!). On a different trip up to Humbolt Co. I drove over the King Range road that the tour follows and I was glad I didn't try to ride over it.

Re: Large Format Landscapes
I have thought about it...that's as far as I have gone with it. I should have entered in 1988, after I spent 5 months bike-touring with my 4x5 in New Zealand. After the mountains there and having 80 pounds of gear on the bike, The Tour would have been very doable! Now, the 9 miles to work is plenty (but too much rain and wind today -- I wimped out and drove)!

A Dayi 617 was used. I sold the camera lens combo to a gentleman in Poland in favor of a 612 back for the 4x5. I now shoot 4x5/612 and 24MP digital. The 617 was a brick to carry. I would often walk as many as 15+ miles in a given day dragging all three systems with me.Well after a long haul of a day at Pictured Rocks, I finally decided that I needed to lighten up a bit. I didn't want to give up on anything so I decided to slap a back on my 4x5 utilizing my existing lenses and stick with the whole program, less a frame and just a bit of a compromise. My 58xl with the 612 isn't to far off.....I do like it wide!!:D
