yeah sweet. i've just started getting into this 4x5 stuff. the kodak lens looks very tempting. will work with what i have a bit longer, shoot some film, figure out the tilt-shift thing. the rangefinder doesn't work on mineand i haven't used the focusing screen yet, so i've just been guessing distance so far...

(edit: this picture was supposed to show up via flickr but didn't show up!)

Sean, Mojave - Large format cam movements still baffle me, but the great thing is being able to see what you're going to get on the ground glass (albeit upside down).  I just fiddle around until I like what I see.  :)

Gobsmacked?!! HAHAHA!!! Love that.

Nice new editions all!

Ann, was checking out those cameras on Ebay and they arent too badly expensive. Too rich for my blood at the moment, but I can see me buying one in the future. Thanks for all the wonderful info on the camera and most especially thank you for sharing your beautiful work!!

Mark - that top image is really cool... it's quite a surreal enclosure

Have lots of images of my son dodging the surf at Southwold... he's more likely to be in a deckchair with his iPod now!
When people ask what equipment I use - I tell them my eyes.

It's a plastic bubble, kept up by continuously pumped air, it's an amazing experience swimming in there very echoic rather like being in a giant ping pong ball....

I'm enjoying my kids while they're young, they grow so fast- my youngest (5) wants an ipod for her birthday next month!
not sure...

Miles--"beach" "Dieppe" and "Vespa" in one sentence!  How cool is that, I ask.

Looks pretty cool in the photo.  I like the surreal colors--when I've shot outdated color stock everything just seemed to go blue.  But your clifftops have a nice saturated green going on that's stunning.  Was the place itself as nice as the photo?

I'm trying to think which beach it was, it was on the "out" as it were, Berck or Le Touquet maybe.  It was lovely, lucky with the weather etc.  Some of the expired film is indeed awful, especially the charity shop stuff, though it's useful for testing and costs almost nothing.  I've even resorted to converting it to B&W in GIMP if it's too bad and quality isn't an issue.

Hi Miles
We went to Pas-de-Calais this summer too; where did you stay? Your picture looks more like Cap Gris-nez to Wimereux seashore as the beaches aren't stony at Berk or Le Touquet.

We stayed at Veules les Roses about 15 miles down from Dieppe and toured around a bit, Pourville and Puys to see all the "Green Beach" and Dieppe Raid stuff as I'd just read a book on the Canadians there, and I wanted to vist my parents old house in St. Vaast (Nr. Neufchatel en Bray).

You're not wrong about Berck etc either ! I've taken lots of pics there with the baby Yash and the Fed4 and got confused  :-\

We did do the coast road on the way back, so Wissant and Wimereaux and the Batterie Todt but I though I took that pic on the way down so would't have stopped off that early.

It's an awful awful embarrassing faff. Here's the really long directions I used
http://www.flickr.com/photos/polapix/2328453771/

Basically... you need an empty cartridge for the sx-70 at a minimum. I'm using my instax to store the unexposed ones and being very careful reloading it.

Put a bit of thick tape over the end of the sx-70/600/Impossible cartridge so the sx-70 can't eject anymore.
get everything in your darkbag/darkroom. Take one unexposed sheet out of the instax cartridge... stuff it in the sx-70 cartridge... load it in the camera. Put away the rest of the instax safely in the dark. Take the sx-70 loaded up and shove it in the sx-70 (it'll whirr like it's trying to get rid of a darkslide. it shouldn't eject anything though or else you'll end up with a mess).

Take picture.

put everything back in the bag, take the cartridge out of the sx-70, take the instax out of the sx-70 cartridge, put it back in the instax cartridge, then put it in the instax camera. you can take everything out of the bag now. Turn on camera, stuff the front of the camera into your leg/sofa/anything to block out light to rule out double exposure (unless you like that), then it'll pop out and develop.

It's really longwinded but once you've done it once (then messed up then realised what you did wrong) it's not so bad.
And it's such pretty colours.
Oh and the pictures turn out reversed/backwards. Doesn't really matter for the plant picture. Will matter if you have any text.
