Here's a small dive into Black and White photography using a 4x5 view Camera. If you don't know what that is, look it up. They are pretty slick! If you want to buy any of these prints, send me a message!
Chicken Feet f/22 @ 1/8' 90mm on 4x5 Kodak T-Max 100 - Natural Lighting in Shade
Pepper F/11 @ 1' 90mm on 4x5 Kodack T-Max100 - Hot Lamp
This is my friend Leah. She was a good sport and had these cool leather jackets that I just envisioned with a pure white background. Shot these in direct sunlight. These were also shot at f/22 with the 210mm lens on 4x5 T-Max100
Octopus F/11 @ 1/8' bellows at 5.5" on 4x5 Kodak T-Max100
Beef Cheek: This shot was taken with a 4x5 View camera. The subject was about 4 inches from the lens, with bellows length at about 16.5 inches, which equated to an X factor of 17X. Therefore, according to the chart, I needed to add +4 Stops of light. I spot metered the white spikes @ f/22 for 1/60 seconds and added 4 stops of light to get the white at Zone V (18% gray) I added the +4 Stops to make the final shot f/22 @ 1/8 second.
