Hello
My name is Damian I am old watcher but new filmwasters member. I am amateur photographer with big passion to building my own cameras. i want to show my newest build red wood 4x5 inch camera. Camera is build with read wood no stain , paint etc. and finish with traditional chinese style ( hot wax ). I build everything myself including making plate holders and ground glass.
Camera is versatile may take traditional 4x5 film holder and plate holders which i build. Samples taken on film and collodion. Film samples taken on Shanghai 100 film pushed to 400 , develop in R09. Later they were contact printed with 25watt white light bulb ( 2 sec exposure , 1 meter ) on ilford Multigrade paper - woman with moustache , and fomabrom fb paper - first picture.
best regards to all filmwasters

Hi Damian,
I've looked through some of your sites, and your work, both in shooting and in constructing cameras, is great! You and Brana have some really crazy things going on :D

Welcome to the forum Damian... lovely camera and amazing portraits!

Hi Damian, welcome to Filmwasters. I've had a poke about on your sites too and really liked what i saw. Good luck with the camera construction project; the camera looks fantastic. Red bellows are my favourite ;D

Great job with audio podcast and Harman guy interview . Unfortunately here in china i am using only Shanghai film , both 120 and 4x5 from ilford are to expensive for me even collodion is cheaper than ilford films :)
