Picking up on the 'photographs thro windows' examples, this one is from my stroll around town last week trying out various scenarios & settings with my newly acquired 21-35mm Vario Elmar on my R5 (HP5+).  (My vignette).

Very nice, Mike. Cant wait to see the Ektar!!

 

I took the Gundlach out and shot a few sheets today.

This is the third sheet I have put through that camera. I still have a lot to learn about large format.

I also shot some Ektar but won't develop that for a couple of weeks.

To me this is so much more the photographer and choice of film than the gear.

Love the photo!!

 

What a day :)

Wasn't feeling too good, kinda overworked, went for a walk. 

I stumbled upon a black Nikon FG with a 50mm E pancake at a local salvation army store for 30$ canadian. 

Obviously it was not firing, but I figured I would take my chances, even if the body was fried I could still use the lens. I love those NIkon pancakes btw so no harm done. 

Minutes later I picked up some batteries in a dollar store few blocks down. With batteries inserted this badboy flapped his mirror down and came to life. Nice I say !

Went and picked some fuji film at a pharmacy. 

Shot the roll in like an hour, had it processed at my local photo lab ( photo St.Denis in Montreal - if you are ever around and in need of like 30 minute development service those guys are KINGS ) 

Anyways , I am scanning it now but so far OMG. What a lovely amazing camera this is !

And this lens wow !

Crazy what one can find for 30$ these days. 

When in nikon land, I am the Nikon F3 shooter and love that thing but this FG fellow is like its little brother with pretty much all the bells and whistles one would need from you day to day gorgeous and handsome film camera. 

Highly recommended. 

 

This my first frame lol. 

I will be adding more if any worthy shots are found on the roll.

Interesting to see similar photos of a scene, one 5x4, one 35mm.  I wonder what a crop of the building would show in terms of how much detail has been resolved?  No, maybe not - it might make me want to try LF for myself...   :blink:   :unsure:

 

Under a loupe you can see the individual leaves on the trees in the background on the 4x5. :)

 

 

I salute your courage in taking on this equipment and wish you well. It is positively monstrous as seen from the perspective in the photo; makes me conjure up images of photographers of times gone, using mules to carry photographic equipment up mountain slopes for landscape shots...  :)

Good luck, Mike, you brave man. I hope the results you get are satisfying and commensurate with your efforts. 

 

It's not as big as the photo makes it seem, it's a 5x7 camera so a little smaller than Neil's 8x10 but it does require a large case to carry everything, I don't take it very far from the car. :)

Unknown film, well past its 'use by' date... surely over 20 years old, photo taken in late 2014. Grain... pointillism..?

I like your composition much better than mine; I centered the fountain, the background doesn't setup as well...need to do this one over ;)  Great colors.
