In Praise of 5x7... Post'em !

First one shot with a 5x7 Canham and 450 Nikkor.

The second was also the Canham but don't remember the lens.

Number three is from the mid 70's with my 5x7 Sinar Norma and 121 Super Anguon. Probably Rolay Pan (400 ASA) Kodak film.

Number 4 is from 1969 and was shot with my 5x7 Deardorff and 90 f8 Super Angolan. I think the film was Ektapan 100.

beautiful work, the interior shot is just classic, but I enjoy all that you posted, you have a good eye, and a hand at the craft

This is from about 5 years ago. It's the clover Hill flour mill not far from my house that now a small engine repair shop. It's the place where old timers gather to tell stories and jokes. The mill is probably 100 years old and all the milling equipment is still inside. I need to visit again and make more images.

That's a great photo!

Thanks! All the elements were there for a great afternoon. I've live here almost 70 years and I have to say I've met some of the greatest people like this. The locals are great especially if they know you're one of them.

That could pass for the front porch of the farm house I lived in during my college years, complete with car seats on cinder blocks. I love it.

I wish I could have been there as had been my intention.
It was most enjoyable when I attended two years ago - wonderful group of people.
Beautiful Mount Orsaro is fittingly filling in the scene.
