What's your (LF) subject matter?

[Colin Corneau]

I'm curious as to what members here aim their LF cameras at -- landscape/scenery? People and portraits? Still lifes/studio work? Other?

The first thing I think of with traditional large format cameras is landscape and nature imagery. That may be from the inevitable influence of Ansel Adams, but I'm wondering how accurate that impression is.

I also have a real tendency (even though I just started using LF) to photograph people; that may be the influence of my work at a daily newspaper.

Hi Colin,
I usually photography landscapes but have been trying my hand (?) at doing portraits and nudes lately. The big problem is getting them to stay still for long enough. I've thought about using a hammer to stun them, but they didn't seem to like that idea.

landscapes, rocks and trees for me. Starting to get into architecture though, and I'll probably eventually start shooting vehicles with 4x5 as well. (which is what got me into photography in the first place)

[Mike Boden]

Predominately, it's landscapes....that's at least what I market and sell. However, I shoot the occasional portrait, architectural, and abstract for fun.

Depending on the weather here in "Rain-couver" during the winter months... landscapes and still lifes.

When it's coming down cats and dogs... definitely still-lifes!

Cheers

I predominantly photograph landscape and nature in 4 X 5.

Most often architecture or man-made objects in the landscape; next most frequent, still life and the occasional portrait; least often, pure nature-scapes (in general, to my eye, nature in the northeast suburbs, where I live, is nice to look at, but simply not photogenic; it always seems to me that the majority of nature photography posted on these forums is from the West, or even Hawaii, but rarely places like New Jersey...)

Whatever is beautiful and true is fair game.

I photograph reality, but it's a sad substitute for what I would rather be photographing...

[Frank Petronio]

I photograph what I'm thinking about.
