Rochester King camera, 11x14 Provia, 15" Turner Reich
Thanks for the invitation to share these.
11x14 is fun!
Yeah, not much room for movements, but it certainly covers.
This is actually a crop since I used the Canon Powershot to photograph the 11x14 slide film on a light box. So this is, what? 75% ratio?
Also, each of these images is likely more contrasty and saturated than the film since I usually keep the Canon on vivid setting.
Nevertheless, the details in the film are pretty impressive (to me, at least).
First 11x14 negative that I ever shot, probably around 1980. 11x14 Burke & James Commercial view camera. 508mm f/7 Caltar shot at f/64. Film notches indicate Kodak Super-XX so must have been developed in Edwal FG-7 in a 9% solution of Sodium Sulfite. Remember that I had to stand the very cold water of a stream in southern Massachusetts to make the shot. Since I was using my 11x14 camera for the first time, took me forever to set up. Shot 3 negatives cause I was sure that I was going to mess up processing the film, even though I was planning on processing them one at a time. Actually all 3 negatives came out fine. Few years ago went back to reshoot the image and "No Trespassing" signs and a locked gate greeted me about a half mile from where the shot was taken. Back in the 1980s almost all access roads to the reservoirs in the area were open. As of today they have all been closed and the areas patrolled daily. Of the probably 2 dozen different spots that I had photographed back then, all are now inaccessible to the general public. Since this stream drains directly into the main reservoir, I could be arrested today for just standing in that stream!
