Beautiful shots Bryan!
Very nice, Bryan, indeed
Very beautiful! Keep up the nice work. I bet this thread becomes increasingly "busy" in the coming months.
I think that this might be my first photo post on this site.
First photo taken with my new-to-me Toyo 810G view camera. As I do not have the ground glass for the 8x10 back, I had to use the 4x5 back to take this photo.
Roses in a vase by the living room window. Not the most ideal lighting but I just set the flowers up as a test subject so I could play with the camera, mainly interested in seeing how close I have to be to the subject to fill the frame - and since I had the camera and subject already set up - I might as well take a photo!
Total test photo! Yes the background leaves a lot to be desired (not to mention the books and the yoga pamphlet under the vase), and I had zero control over the lighting - I was basically just playing around and decided to actually take a photo since everything was more or less set up. I also happened to have some 4x5 film holders already loaded.
This is not the sort of things I would normally photograph. I'm more interested in landscapes but with us being in the grip of old man winter, and me hating the cold, this is what I did.
Toyo 810G with 4x5 reducer back. Schneider - Kreuznach Symmar 355mm lens. Film used was Arista EDU 100 (expired 20011) rated at 100 and shot at 1/8th of a second at F11.
Tray developed in HC-110 for 7 mins at 18 degrees.
8x10 xray, Morrison's landscape petzval
Snow came by Sergei Rodionov, on Flickr
Ya ok, not exactly a 'flower' but...
Had the Toyo 810G out, shooting a couple paper negatives when I decided to use the 4x5 reducer and get some film out.
Cactus on the dining room table as I had nothing better to think of to photograph at the time.
Toyo 810G with 4x5 reducer. 1/8th of a second at F11, window lit (from behind camera).
Ilford HP5+ tray developed in HC-110 Dilution B for 6 mins at 18 degrees. (film expired 2011)
Only ps work done was spotting and reduction of size - no sharpening performed.
Daffodil in light tent
Velvia 100 ... too many years lying exposed without development ... the green of the stem is now a grey. There are some real luminous parts of yellow though that the scanner hasn't got a hope of capturing.
I still love Velvia even though the 100 variety is colour-subtle.
An exercise in bellows compensation and critical focussing as I recall. Heliar 210mm. Much of the flower is in good focus.
That's a cool idea for a series somewhat in the same line as the movie "Boyhood". Shoot film and have it processed 10 years later
