4x5 for 365 project (25/365)
A wind up musical box type of statue of couples dancing on our dining room table provides the subject for today's project entry.
Camera: Calumet 45NX 4x5 large format monorail view camera.
Lens: Fujinon-W 210mm F5.6 lens in a Copal B shutter. Yellow filter on the lens to improve contrast.
Film: Arista EDU 100 Ultra 100 ISO B&W Negative Film, shot at ISO 64.
Lighting: Lit from the overhead lamp over the dining room table. I think that's a 60 watt bulb in there.
Exposure: 32 seconds @ F16 after adjusting for bellows extension, film reciprocity and filter factors.
Development: Self Developed in Kodak Xtol 1+2 dilution in Paterson Universal Tank using the Taco Method. 13 minutes @ 20 degrees Celsius. Tap water stop bath. Ilford Rapid Fixer. Photo-Flo rinse.
Scanning: Negative scanned with Epson V600 in two scans and merged back together in PhotoShop since the V600 doesn't natively support 4x5 scans in one pass. Cropped to taste in Photoshop.
