I'm outgrowing my generic photo backpack that I've been using for 4x5. I'm looking to "upgrade" to something a little bit better. My original plan was to pick up a used Lowepro Photo Trekker AW I or...
I found the unicolor drum with rotating base easy to learn. I think it was mentioned above, but here is a link to the article. (http://www.largeformatphotography.info/unicolor/) The base and drums...
I went on a short hike yesterday at Turkey Run State Park.

Here is a print from the first test shot I made in my back yard. The exposure was about 3 minutes.

The camera ended up having a focal length 184mm with an aperture of 322. I haven't had a chance to shoot with it yet but I'm looking forward to taking it out soon. The total cost was around $45.

Here are the final pictures. I used a combination of a textured paint followed by a coat of blue enamel. I'm going to use a small magnet for the shutter.

I used bondo to make the camera light tight and smooth out the body.

I cut the hole for the film and drilled holes for the bolts that hold the rubber bands to keep the film holder in place.

I added tripod sockets.

I've been wanting to get an 8x10 pinhole camera for some time. I recently stopped in Goodwill and found an old filebox that looked like it would be the right size.

I'd probably do an 8x10 cyanotype. We could do a small group just doing cyanotypes if needed.
I don't know if my work is good enough but I'd be willing to give it a shot.
Here is a quick scan of a Tea toned cyanotype. The scan doesn't seem to have the same detail and looks considerably more grainy. Apparently I need to work on scanning prints. :)

Have you tried flutotscamerarepair.com? I have a shutter on its way to Carol right now.

I am coating my own paper. It may be that my exposure was too short. I'm currently building an uv exposure box. Once I'm done at least I'll have more control.
Here is a cyanotype I just finished. Not the best composition. This is my first successful print from my first successful 8x10 negative. I'm having some trouble getting the highlights to print.

Well I finally had time to finish the Crown Graphic. It definitely was more work than I had expected. Overall I'm very happy with how it came out. With the 127mm lens it weighs exactly 4lbs. Here's a...
I'm starting to put together a parts list for a UV light box for alternative process printing. Here's a list of the parts I've been looking at.

Normally I wouldn't have stripped a Crown Graphic. The only reason this one was stripped was the leather wasn't in the best of shape and was starting to come up off the bed. My goal with the project...
Will the rack and pinion need to be lubricated? If so, what should I use?
I'm starting with the bed. I've sanded down the the outside with 220 grit sandpaper and then went over everything with 400. I painted the interior of the bed last night. My progress will slow down...
I decided to strip off the leather to strip and finish the wood. I also plan to repaint the metal in a flat black.

This weekend I found two Graflex Crown Graphics on Craigslist for $60. One camera came with 127mm Ektar, and the other came with a 105mm Tominon. Both lenses are dirty and have problems with the...
I've sent Carol an email. Thanks for the link.

I just bought a Wollensak Velostigmat series 1 triple convertible 12 1/2 inch lens in an Auto shutter off of the auction site. B and T are working properly, but all of the other speeds on the shutter...

Thanks for the information. I learned something new.
I saw this while browsing Craigslist. I don't have any affiliation to the seller. I thought it was interesting and am passing the info on.
