4x5x365 – Day 107

by Leave a Comment

I shot this photo on my Toyo VX-125 4×5 film camera using a Nikon 210 mm lens, on Kodak TMAX-100 film. Not exactly my favorite composition but it is difficult to get things perfect when I can’t see through the viewfinder. That is why I practice with this camera – it is really difficult to shoot with and takes a lot of practice to perfect.

While at the Edmond Liberty Fest Parade I took this photo of antique cars driving in the parade. I never know the exact framing with my Toyo VX-125 film camera since I have to set it all up, compose through the viewfinder, close the leaf shutter in the lens, insert the film and then just hope things happen in the frame as I expect. Not exactly what I was hoping for in this picture, but then again that is why I practice with this camera.

Shot on Kodak TMAX-100 film and processed at home I my kitchen sink using Kodak D76 developer then wet scanned on my Epson V-750 film scanner.
