Many, many years ago, way before DSLR cameras were even imagined, people shot photos on large film like 4×5. That’s big film – 20 square inches of detail.\u00a0It can be extraordinary.<\/p>\n

And I just saw Pavel Kosenko’s site<\/a> of archived imagery from WW II shot on 4×5 Kodachrome (thanks for the link,\u00a0Darrell Larose<\/a>). The photos are quite amazing. Have a look<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Modern digital is amazing, too, for many modern uses.<\/p>\n

… But for certain applications a good large format shot can’t be beat, especially if you are printing BIG. The detail is impressive close-up. In Watershed<\/a> I chose to shoot most of the work on larger film formats including 6×7 (cm), 4×5 (inch) and \u00a024×58 (mm) film.<\/p>\n

Lovely.<\/em><\/p>\n

A couple of our photo course\/program\u00a0graduates have discovered the beauty of film and older technology equipment – rangefinder cameras<\/a> and exceptional glass. They can be inexpensive (used) and impressive.<\/p>\n

Have you ever shot large format film? When was the last time you shot film at all?!<\/p>\n
