How we stopped Interstate Commerce on I-95 for 10 minutes...

After much too long a hiatus.......I'm back! Here's a link to 598.5 Square inches of gorgeous negative done in beautiful downtown Tonopah, NV.

The neg was made on 9.5 inch Aerial Recon Tri-X film with the #10 Cirkut camera. I had a stainless steel tray made that just fits in my 8 foot sink for developing the big film. No more streaks from un-even developing but of course a few other artifacts to prove we didn't do it with the D200!



On the big white building at the far right is a historic plaque behind the gentleman's head. In the original negative the lettering is quite readable. I am startled at how sharp the negative is. I used the Gundlach Turner Reich 10 1/2" #4. Not original to this camera, but the same as what it was originally sold with so it works well with the kit gearing. FUN!

Very cool

Neat, just don't use up the world's supply of Dektol for the prints.

[Paul Cocklin]

Very cool, Jim!

[David A. Goldfarb]

Very cool, Jim! I've discovered since I've had the Noblex that swing lens negs are freakishly sharp. All the more so from a #10 Cirkut I'm sure.

My head is spinning from working on warping it around the the road is straight.

Thanks,

Kind of a Wild Wild West version of the Abbey Road cover...

Jim, that is so cool!

Excellent, and I love that you captured the same couple twice.

Apparently I need to do some more reading on Cirkut cameras.
