Large Format Photography Australia

Back in my commercial architecture days, like many, I used 90mm a lot. But then Schneider released the 72mm Super-Angulon XL and from that day forward I hardly ever reached for the 90mm. These days my single wide angle lens is the Nikkor SW 75mm. It is a perfect match to my vision and affords compa...

I agree, but is very rare for me to do that.

Looking at what I posted, I think It should be around 1 stop darker overall and maybe 2 stops darker on the vehicle, but....

Mick.

A respectful shot of a powerful structure. The magnified view and detail in the masonry reveals that the darkroom skills are equally spectacular. Thank you Walter, however the darkroom skills were in this instance a negative scan. I have made a print, on 30x40cm paper some time ago, but I cannot sc...

Thank you Maris. It was quite lucky that we arrived when we did. I remember going through the motions quite quickly, making a couple of executive decisions. As my camera is always folded with a 150mm lens, 150mm was the go. As I mostly have an orange filter fitted, I left the filter on. Quick distan...

This is just a record shot after quite an extended lunch stop, this was the last sheet for the day and I was feeling really good as I had captured a rock pool exactly the way I wished to capture it; rare event that. Nothing special about this, except it is a rare thing for me to use a sheet of film ...

This was taken approximately 45 minutes before the Clunes Town Hall exposure, my notes tell me it was 1035hrs; how the weather changed 45 minutes later and about 20km away. We headed into Creswick and wished for a place to have a coffee/tea break, I remembered the church grounds would have plenty of...

That looks very nice indeed. The enclosed landscape format suits this down to the ground, or should I say, "water?" Reminds me of "Pick up Sticks" the game, something I haven't played in close to 60 years. We had wooden ones which looked just like those reeds. The modern ones wer...

Walter, yep it was a find indeed. Maris, I agree with you about the wavy painted lines around the silo smack dead in the centre. This was cropped so that the painted lines were in the centre, more or less. Agree, that centre graduated filter is just the bees knees. I really think that without that f...

Maris, you are correct, using the 65mm lens would have been fantastic; except I didn't own one when I shot this. I was running a standard basic kit, 90mm Angulon (Linhof branded) which was good and is still good, but coverage is just there in 4x5". I then had the Fujinon 150mm which is an excel...

Walter, I somehow don't think I'll get the same kind of light, it was quite stormy, windy and all of that kind of stuff. When I exposed the film, that was probably after a 15' or so wait; about when I was wondering if I would ever get anything bright. You can see the dark clouds in the sky behind th...
