I shot this as part of a larger series on the remains of IBM Plant #1 in...
Finally have something new to share! Shot this over the winter as part of a project I was putting together on the buildings IBM left behind when they closed down operations in Endicott, NY. This...
Thanks for the tip Doremus! I actually have a Nikkor catalog saved but I wasn't aware that the value listed for the coverage specifications was also the optimum aperture. The information I was...
My lenses are all Nikkor (90mm f/8, 150mm f/5.6, & 240mm f/5.6) and I've had difficulty finding concrete performance data online about them, including at what aperture diffraction becomes...
Thanks for the scans! I've saved them for future reference. Ansel Adam's "Camera and Lens" has a similar chapter about movements but I think what you've linked includes better examples.
I had...
Thanks for the reply! I used to focus that way but just recently changed my technique when I ran across this page on LFP which made me second guess myself:

Looks like my focus on the...
I need a sanity check on some camera movement observations I've made in the field while working with my 4x5 monorail and tilt-shift lenses. I've been doing some research around the Scheimpflug...
Thanks kmallick, Joel, Max, & Ulophot! I shot this with my Cambo SCII on Kodak T-Max 100 (developed in DD-X) with a Nikkor 90mm f/8 lens. This is actually the first time I chose T-Max instead of my...
Been awhile since I've had anything to contribute here... this shot is of the Times Square Building in Rochester, NY. I'm shooting a series on Kodak and just couldn't pass up a chance to capture a...
I started out with an Adorama branded dark cloth and it was terrible - for some reason, they put the black fabric on the outside and white on the inside? I practically passed out from heat exhaustion...
I recently picked up a Calumet changing tent for about $160 with shipping to the US after becoming beyond frustrated with loading 4x5 in a Patterson changing bag. I live in an apartment and don't...
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out the best way to transport my Cambo SC-2 and ended up with a Pelican Air case (16375) and shoulder bag combo. I came from a Graphic View II which had its own...

The railroad tracks still see some use, but the OW Railroad Station in...
Thanks Philip! Waterloo Village is a great place to shoot and it's a shame that the NJ Parks Department doesn't have the money to keep up with the buildings at the park. I ended up visiting eight...

From a series I recently wrapped up of mansions in the Hudson Valley region of New York....
I hope I'm still in good enough shape to haul my 4x5 around when I hit my 90s (and I hope Kodak or Ilford will still be making film!). I'm 24 and I've been shooting film since 2017, but only started...
