Day 4 – Black and white photo challenge

Day 4 of 5 of black and white photo challenge.  Each day I am trying to post a photo that is taken from a different camera and a different medium.  Today I am back on large format but with a different lens and film from day 1.  This was shot at the Bund in Shanghai, China.  Photo taken with Graflex Speed Graphic + Fujinon 65mm f5.6 lens + Shanghai GP3 film.  Developed with Guan long d76 + Guan long F5 Fix, scanned with Epson Perfection V700. Today i nominate Pouya Ash for the BW photo challenge, in which to post one BW photo per day for 5 days and also nominate someone each day because it’s fun.

Large format shoot at the Bund

After a weekend of crappy weather, Monday was a complete opposite.  Kirk Lau and I couldn’t resist on the amazing weather and took our Grapflex Speed Graphics to the Shanghai Bund for some night photography.  Knowing how bad the reciprocity of the Shanghai 4×5 film, we decided to give it a go away.  I was armed with only two lenses, the Fujinon 65mm f5.6 SWD and a Leica Dimaron 150mm f2.8.  I only took 4 slides of Shanghai 100iso 4×5 film in two film holders.  Here is a shot taken with my RX100 II on my shot.
