Slidey cars. I feel pretty confident in my panning now. Unfortunately the event holders only let the photographers stand in a small area in the middle of the track so there wasn't a lot of room for variety Frown

Ryan, I know all about that, I think I shot about 150 5x4 images last year, a number of which got printed on 20x24 inch fibre based. Luckily a couple got sold and I managed to recoup a bit of the cost.

Yeah, I know all about the expensive film stuff. Oh my. Fibre paper, 4x5 film. Moneyyyyy. My friend spent $200 on like 8x10 polaroid film and I think it was only ten sheets?
In honesty 8x10 seems virtually useless, almost nothing requires that level of resolving, but it is very cool.
Anyway, here's the beginnings of the project I mentioned. All from the PhaseOne P45. Only rough edits but crit would be appreciated.

I don't think it's useless, especially if you're blowing it up and want absolute detail. Rodney Graham and Stan Douglas and others within that "Vancouver School" shoot 11x14 sheet film. They also scan and photoshop it though for the perfect image, which is why they shoot bigger. Higher the res they can get, the better.

I don't think he meant useless but rather over the top the majority of the time.

True. Even 4x5, hell, 120 film is over the top most of the time these days because people rarely print their work or when they do, it's usually no bigger then 11x14 I've found. 16x20 is usually pushing it. Once in a while do I see people going 20x24 for showing work. Most people keep their work online.

I've started shooting a lot more MF and not bringing it online. I'm printing and then I'm going to curate a body of work at the end of the year and perhaps make a photo book. We'll see how it goes.

Everything has its place. I would love to get into LF one day, mainly for sheet film, camera movements and contact prints. I like to print 8x10 and smaller, so resolution is not an issue for me.

Another advantage to bigger film is that you have a higher latitude and greater flexibility with development times, etc.

Singlespeed, considered one of these? Gets you the movements without paying out for large format gear or film, or having to carry a view camera.

I was looking at a Flexbody since I'm already invested in Hasselblad gear.

I'd also be into a 6x9 roll film press camera. There's so many options...

For my fine art practise, I've moved almost wholly to 5x4. Having the resolution to print big digitally is nice (My current body being 24x30) but it's the intense quality when you're c-typing that really does it for me. Good old Jem Southam shoots 10x8 partly so he can contact print for the most ridiculously lush looking prints.

It's all horses for courses, but if you prioritize the fetishism of detail it makes sense.

Note: If you're doing more portrait based work, the interest of the camera often plays the role of the mediator and the sitter.

Bryan Schutmaat says some interesting things about the way's he photographs in his interview with SeeSaw Magazine;

AS: In the artist statement that accompanies Grays the Mountain Sends, you specifically draw attention to the fact that you are using a large-format view camera. Firstly, why is that important, photographically and otherwise?

BS: A large-format camera is important foremost because of the formal qualities it affords – its clarity, descriptive ability, the way it renders space, depth of field, and so on. So using it was an aesthetic decision more than anything. But the physicality of the camera definitely had an impact on the work too, particularly the portraits. It's an impressive tool: big, wooden, robust, with bellows, sitting atop a tripod, and requiring a dark cloth. Even though it's a newer camera, it has an old timey feel, which I think disarms people to some extent.

Sauce.
