    Going Big in the National Capital

    And when I say Big, I mean, Large Format, 4x5, and some of my last sheets of the beautiful film called Plus-X pan (I still have a box of untested Plus-X Expired in 1983). These were all shot with a Pacemaker Crown Graphic and either a Fuji Fujinon-W 1:5.6/125 or Schneider-Krueznack Symmar-S 1:5.6/210 lens at ASA-125 and developed in Kodak Microdol-X (Stock) 12 minutes at 20C/68F

    I had to make a short detour on my way in and came across this little shed in a field, so I pulled over and got a shot!

    I like all the images, composition is good. Looks like your exposure is right on, I like the contrast and details. The light leak (?) in the right corner is distracting, I would be tempted to import them into Lightroom to use the neutral density filter. Dang it, they are good photos.
    I miss Plus x production. I have 19 35mm rolls left. I am looking for some properly stored 120 or 220 film for my RB67.

    DC is always interesting in the snow. The top shot's my favorite. I still have three film cameras, and use them on occasion. One is a Mamiya 645. It takes extremely sharp shots. You really need to think differently when going back to film. It takes discipline.

    That's actually flare off the sun. I should really shade the lens in question.
