Very cool Kent. It looks like a furniture-grade camera!

Thanks Greg ...

It's a donated item from a former portrait photographer here in town. Now it sits in our local historical museum.

I'm digging the air bulb shutter and electrical connectors. This thing is a beast and has a monster wooden rack & pinion gearing for focus adjustment ... not sure I'd want to try too much location work with it though.

It's hard to get a sense of scale from the WA pic ... larger version in the Alt Pic Thread.

Thanks Andy & Craig.

It always takes me 'back in time' when I see it ... makes me want to go under the hood and focus it with its Rack & Pinion.

The lighting in the 'museum' was not what you might expect. It's just a big old building with concrete floor, high ceilings and a 'hodge-podge' of different colored flourescents and tungsten strewn around ... much more warehouse than museum, which probably adds to 'old look'.

I simply shot ambient (5.6 1/2 sec iirc) and quickly corrected color in post, burned some distracting background and tossed in a smidgen of vignette.

Great presentation Kent! Available light subjects take a keen eye. One I don't have. Very impressive. Love the subject matter too. Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks.

It is more a learned necessity than anything ... I never have gotten good command of flash/strobe & modifiers ... but I do know how to use a tripod and cable release ... I guess that's part of why I really 'love' this big ol' camera.

Btw ... your eye is PLENTY keen, making it tough on the rest of us.

Well, we certainly gone a long way since. Lovely pic. The colours of the wood really makes you feel its antiquity.

Happy shooting,
Yakim.
