Took this last weekend while out with an ULF buddy. Yes Jorge I actually do associate with the ULF crowd. I even have the patience to wait for them to get it all setup. Actually we kind of work on his images together as he is still learning. Wonderful Canham 8x20. Anyway now getting back to my image. I use Efke PL100 souped in PyroCat-HD. Green filter over the lens to bring out the faded yellow lettering on the cement structure. 300mm Rodenstock lens.



I'm going to have to go back and reshoot some images as I fogged them while developing. Duh.

Jeeezz... this poor fellow must be really lonely if he is putting up with your nagging....

Nice shot, but if you are doing vertical 8x20 (an amazing thing IMO) I would like to see one where you guys get closer and concentrate on the stairs.

Great tones on this image, and very sharp. I've heard some very good things about PyrocatHD; I think I'll load some film holders with B&W this evening. I was planning on going out in the morning for a shoot.

Jorge I will let my buddy know. I'm not sure if he has souped his 8x20 negs yet or not. This image is from my 4x5. To get the right perspective on the stairs for a closer view I would need a 500mm lens with a good image circle.

My buddy bought this L bracket so he could do verticals. After all the problems we had doing vertical close-ups of the Harley he figured he needed a better setup. This bracket works pretty good but still need some tweaking to make it totally stable. 8x20 verticals are an impressive site on the ground glass! I can't wait to see his contact prints.

WHere did he get the Bracket? I am thinking of having one here machined from steel. I could make one from wood but I am afraid my camera would be too heavy even with a double support.
