Shot with my Voigtlander Avus 9x12 plate camera, on APX-100 film cut down to size from 4x5. Printed with Maco lith RC paper, developed with Rollei lith developer. This gives the coppery gold-brown colour (which looks a bit too red in this scan). The lith print gave a subtlety in the texture of the leaves that I really like; the print is probably my favorite darkroom print to date (may say something about the low caliber of my printing, I don't know ).

Print is 9.5" x 12".

This is the camera:

Walter,

There is great pleasure in printing your own images whether it's the darkroom or the digital one. There is something about completing the process. So many of our pictures call out to be printed, in this day in age we simply ignore it - shame.

I have 4x5 view camera, (yours btw is a beauty) with 4 kids I have no time to commit to it. But still I find my Epson R2400 with Baryta papers - wonderful. It makes me glad to see others enjoying Large Format, this is real magic without the need of silicon intervention

The screen doesn't do it justice, the textures and tones must be wonderful to hold in the hand.

Thanks for sharing your workflow,
Gavin

I came to photography after digital, so must say I admire your ability and knowledge to do what you've done here. As with a whole new generation of shooters, we'd be lost without the ability to chimp and edit on the screen.
I'm sure I could learn a lot, given the chance to spend time with someone like you.

I came to photography after digital as well. I didn't really get serious until I got my DSLR.

Large format and antiquated film gear followed.

There are lots of really cool things you can do with film cameras that you can't do digitally; at least not the same way.

I shoot far more digital than film (I have my DSLR with me almost every day), but I love large and medium format stuff.
