Three images from my first large format landscape shoot. Considering my level of experience, I'm happy with what I got. I certainly learned a lot.
The 250mm lens was the hardest to make good use of. With the bellows extended for that lens, the camera felt unstable. Any touch at all made the front standard quiver.
With a yellow filter fitted, these exposures were all somewhere near f45, 1/8th-1/15th on Ilford FP4+. Those slow shutter speeds did not inspire confidence. I can see why so many people use faster film. Perhaps I could have gotten away with larger apertures. I need to study the depth of field data more.
All in all, not such a spectacular set of results or an experience to tell me that large format is my definite future. Good enough though that I will keep working and continue to learn.
