Old cameras make great models for testing. This may sound strange but I had some "spare space in the developing tank" last night so shot this expired roll of colour film that had been part used for the last 4-5yrs.
Goal of photos was to find my most arty 4x5 lens. Shooting 3 different cameras (at each other and looking at the bokeh balls in the background too)...sadly this was the first shot and a light leak from the part used roll (I probably opened the back at some point when finding the film in a camera). This lens looks very promising so it might become my MPP portrait lens.
Speed Graphic + Aero Ektar lens captured with MPP + Leitz 150mm f2.5 lens @f2.5 + Cambo 6x9 120 roll back + expired Kodak Vericolor III VPS @ ISO 25 (4 second exposure)
Dev: 1:100 Rodinal/Tap water (10ml Rodinal:1L tap water), 45min, 4 inv, Epson v800 scan

Don't worry you haven't got the wrong Flickr feed. I just like to mix it up a bit!
This probably looks like a crappy photo of a tractor..which maybe it is to most people..but for me it was one of my most rewarding images so far.
Why? Because I like to make it difficult! When travelling in France we had an amazing red sky sunset. Annoyingly I had B&W loaded in most of the cameras BUT being out in the very last of the daylight I liked the play of silhouttes against the sky. I ran back to the campervan and got my 4x5 then back to the seafront by which time it was so dark I could barely see. I could only see silhouttes against the brightest bit of sky left so I framed up this.
It was too dark to see my lightmeter so I just guessed. This lens has no controls so I took the lens cap off and counted...
I didn't expect anything (at all) so this images was a lovely surprise!
Leica 4x5 lens, cool eh! :)

Colour as scanned, I liked the vintage feel and it reminds me of that red sunset
