Large Format Prints

It seems about time that I do some reorganizing. Over the years I have gone from 35 mm, to 6x6/6x7 Medium format, to 4x5 and recently 5x7 and 8x10 Large format. Over the next while I'll be migrating some of my better LF images onto this page for easier navigation. Enjoy!

Violin Etude #2

This study of my old violin on a bed of black muslin is cropped long and shallow to empasize the beautiful lines of the instrument.

Kodak 35 study

Close-up study of an old Kodak 35 camera. Shot wide open on a Calumet CC-400 with a 203 Ektar lens wide open at f7.7 Through the use of swing and tilt of the front standard, the plane of focus is razor thin from the upper left corner diagonally to the lower right. Note how the Kodak logo and lens markings are in focus but little else.

This is my very first Large Format colour shot, so I can forgive that it is over exposed and a very dusty scan. I learned a lot that evening. I learned that one shouldn't do their very first large format colour shoot at night in sub-zero temperatures. I Learned not to put my kit away until I am absolutely sure I got my shot. I also learned to keep all gear close at hand to make it easier to locate things in the dark.
