    The 4x5 camera is a Combo SCII RS monorail camera, we used Caltar-S II 150mm f5.6 lens with it, and HP5+ 4x5 black and white film
    expired Polaroid film we used is the 405 Polaroid 4x5
    The 8x10 is an Eastman View, we used a Fujinon W 250mm f6.7 lens to shoot HP5+ 8x10 film
    and a Cooke Lens 13.3" f6.5 made by Taylor Taylor & Hobson when we shot paper
    Photo paper was Ilford multigrade and the Positive paper was also from Ilford
    all images have minimum to no editing, just some dust removed, contrast and exposure corrected
    Video filmed with Canon g7x, edited with Premiere Pro CC

      Glad to see that you are enjoying large format. Lately, I've been watching a lot of videos with Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, who shoots with a very large 8x10.
      Contrary to popular belief, film is not dead. The larger the format, the more you're forced to slow down and think about the process.. which is usually a good thing!

  • @zacgrimaldo
    @zacgrimaldo 6 лет назад +53

    Ahhhh! This made me happy! I shot 4x5 and 8x10 for a living, I'm glad you got to experience it! This style of photography makes you think more and study your subject and plan your shot. Especially when it's $10 everytime you click the shutter! You should also explore Polaroid tranfers.When you see your image come up in the developer the first time, it's magical. That guy was super nice to walk you through the experience. Props to him.

      yes, it does get addictive, Hence the poison logos on the focus cloth, there is silver under there, granted, but just seeing the dof of some of those portraits inside of Drew, totally addictive!!!; this video really shows off the power of this kind of out of focus affect, and it's creative uses.

  • @buskman3286
    @buskman3286 Месяц назад +1

    I developed the habit of cocking/firing the shutter once just before inserting the film holder. This ensures I didn't forget to close the shutter after focusing. I ruined a couple of sheets of film when I forgot to close the shutter. The "test firing" of the shutter ensures I am ready to insert the film/recock the shutter. This step may be unnecessary for others but I find it helpful.

    Hi Irene, another great vLog of cause. You are probably the most humble photographer on RUclips IMO. You gracefully go about your craft without showing off how great you are at the technical side of photography...including off camera lighting. You are brave informative and refreshing.

    The output of this old technology is phenomenal.
    It really makes me appreciate the history of photography and cameras as a whole.
    The shallow depth of field is nothing but stunning and (as of now) only achievable with large format film cameras.
    It's amazing how authentic the photographs look.
    As if you took them in the 80's.
    You really did a fantastic job.

    @dougthomson5544 Год назад

    Irene, I have used 4x5 cameras for over 50 years and it delights me that you are experimenting in the medium. Large format forces a photographer to focus on the subject in a way that is difficult to emulate in digital photography. It is slow and methodical and every piece of film is both expensive in time and money. I still have a Horseman monorail studio camera and an Ebony SV45U2 … all my lenses are NIKKOR in Copal shutters. The Horseman is a solid and efficient studio camera and the Ebony is a work of art, field camera that was hand built by Hiromi Sakanashi in Tokyo. Ebony closed its doors in 2016, not from lack of demand, but simply because Mr. Sakanashi retired. The Ebony, made of ebony or mahogany and titanium is a meld of tradition and technology. I love it. I no longer print images on silver paper, but rather digitize the negatives and print on a large format printer.

    Irene, I have that same 4x5 camera and I bought the Cambo Reflex Hood that makes it much easier to use. Flips the image right side up and makes it easy to shoot with the camera low to the ground and rotate the eyepiece around to fit what you're shooting.
