    Now, THIS is ULF!

    Ran across this yesterday. http://www.gadgetreview.com/2010/10/...-giant-cameras

    Anyone who has posted a thread saying, "What tripod is best for . . .?" should look into this. This photographer has a body of recognized work that some like enough to hang in galleries, though some are less enthusiastic (eye-of-the-beholder, right?). But gear-head that I am, I'd really like to see and read more about these canon sized cameras and the lenses they use!

    There are only three types of mounting flanges; too big, too small and wrong thread!

    I've liked his work for a long time, and appreciate the DIY aspect of his technique.

    Anyone know what lenses he has?

    The latest Art of Photography video on YouTube is devoted to McCaw's work with these cameras.

    Can anyone get him to post a thread in the DIY forum or at least a few pics in the Show Your Camera thread?

    The image on the news page made this look about 20 times bigger than it actually is. On the guy's web site, http://www.chrismccaw.com/Press.html, it shows it in context! It's still massive but not quite as bit as I first thought!

    The OPs link shows the 30x40 "Redux" of the 20x24 on Chris' press page. CM is also a very nice and fun fellow, and quite a good Platinum printer.

    Some years back, there was a really good article in 'VC Mag' on Chris' (then) work which highlighted this:-
