bobpeters Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 These are the first four sheets of 4x5 Arista Ultra EDU 100 film I shot at Spruce Pond near Tully, NY on 12/31/2017 with a Wollensak 101mm f4.5. That is why they have no corners. I didn't vacuum out the holders, or wait for the camera to cool down, as it was 2 degrees F outside when I shot these. This is a Quick and dirty scan I did on an HP 3 in 1, that does not have film scanning capability. I didn't have the right size B&W contrast filters for the 47mm Super Angulon XL lens I got for Christmas, which is why I used this lens, as it was mounted on a board already. I didn't do my own development on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Well, you've got to start somewhere and there you are! I started large format with an ancient Tessar "borrowed" from an old folding camera and mounted in a cardboard lens board. All my shots had dark corners, but it got the job done for several years.

bobpeters Posted January 21, 2018 Author Share Posted January 21, 2018 I haven't shot more yet, as I have a little bit of a cold. These might be a little under exposed as well. I dymo labeled a note on the back of the head on my Auto Meter IV f a ISO step to stop "translation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conrad_hoffman Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Without seeing the actual negs it's hard to say, but the old rule of thumb was that you should be able to read black and white printing, book or whatever, through the darker regions of the negatives. Naturally there should be some shadow detail in the clearer areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodeo_joe1 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Why wait for filters for the 47mm SA? For snow scenes like that with a fairly blank sky, sticking a coloured filter on the lens is going to make hardly any difference. Take a reflected meter reading off the snow and open up by 2.5 stops. The exposure will be bang on. Any lack of, or excess of density is then down to the processing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodeo_joe1 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 "Contrast is controlled by processing!" - Indeed it is. Nobody has suggested otherwise. What's contrast if not the variation of density between highlights and shadows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
