The compressed digital version doesn't give justice to the contact print.

Nice portrait. Great example of what (ultra) large format is capable of.

A couple recent 4x5 shots. Quick and dirty scans. I really should pay more attention to dust...

I hope it is okay to post a picture of a picture. This is a contact print in the wash a few nights ago. My first attempt at linking a photo here, so hopefully I got that figured out.

This is a location shot of Clarence made on 8x10 with a 16" Petzval. Available light.

Great work everyone!
Here's testing the new Graflex RB 4x5. New camera, with new film holders and finally developed with my recently acquired Jobo 3010. The shutter seems accurate enough and no leaks, so happy so far.
Hand holding a 4x5 feels good!

Nice portrait Ramiro. The lighting and tone rendering are well done.
