I am toying, yet again, with shooting a lot of my built environment stuff on roll film in the 6x12 format rather than the 'full frame' sheet of 4x5.
I wonder what YOU think about this:
Here is a shot of a ruin for sale that was shot on 6x12 using a roll film back. It was visualised, committed and presented with a 6x12 in mind from the kick-off.
This time a full 4x5 of a Newcastle Hospital precinct ear-marked for demolition. The old building is set within its context with room and air to breathe.
And now a crop of the above to approximate what a 6x12 would be. The context remains to a large extent but, to me, the weight and balance of the image is significantly altered.
Over to you .....
