France 2019, developed today! A strange situation where I had my 4x5 camera and all the kit overseas as I drove. This was I think in Dieppe early one morning with my camera setup outside a restuarant. I got shouted at by the cafe next door but I said I was shooting through the glass not inside. It was kind of true. I liked the light hitting the glasses and the possible bokeh. A nice memory and very pleased with the bokeh and colours.
30 sec edit, as shot.
Intrepid 4x5 camera + Fuji-W 250mm f6.3 + Horseman 120 roll film back + expired Cinestill 800 (Beta roll!)
I will do a 4x5 video for YouTube when I get chance!
Developing - Expired C41 Tetanol kit, opened 8mths ago. Total disaster when poured developer into water already in the tank. I poured extra developer concentrate (expired) directly into the tank and left it for 7mins and just hoped. I was AMAZED when I got photos! ( Ijust took the practical approach and add more concentrate to make the water-diluted developer strong enough to develop the film if left long enough). Lucky!

Today's wedding shoot was cancelled and the next one also pushed back til later in the year so I'm trying to catch up on preparing photos so I can post all the blogs and videos i've held back
This is from my first roll of 120 Cinestill 800 film shot in Budapest last September when on a morning hike. I shot video at the time I shot this so I will share it when get time.
Amazing early morning light and autumn colours. No filter used.
Hasselblad SWC/M + A16 645 film back (cropped to 6x6 in post) + 120 Cinestill 800T, handheld 1/60 I think

Time for something different before we get back to portraits. This was shot during lockdown with what I thought was ISO 100 B&W film..
The setup was:
Sinar F2 4x5 monorail camera + Rodenstock Grandagon 90mm f4.5 + Horseman 6x7 120 Roll film back + Expired Cinestill 800T @100 (no filter)
I love the movements available with 4x5 cameras but I also appreciate the ease (& cost) of 120 colour film vs 4x5 film
I will do a YouTube video on this as it's quite a fun topic..
