mmmm 4x5 film. wowee. i want to try sum out soon.
so expensive though :(
I like the blue colour of this. did you tone it? or is that the cyanotype result?
I like the chain and the interaction of the model.

4x5 isn't cheap but Freestyle's Arista EDU brand is a bargain compared to Ilford or Kodak. The blue is a result of the cyanotype process.

It's nice seeing someone achieve old fashioned effects using old school techniques. You could have done all this with Photoshop, but instead you did it the hard way. Thank you!

Actually, I did do it the easy way. As an experiment a few years ago, I tried to recreate an alt-process print in Photoshop. It took me so long to get the random brush stroke edge effect that doing it the old fashioned analog film, chemicals, and paper way turned out to be much quicker... as well as more fun.

That's how I feel about it. It's a lot easier to frame the shot in my manual camera, use black and white film, special filters and lenses, then have the film developed. Takes a lot less time than trying to achieve the same thing using a program. And, like you said, it's more fun.

Thank you.

Hardly amazing, just a bumbling amateur.
I'd be delighted to shoot with you and still hope we can manage the "miles between" problem somehow.
