1.1 part 3 – Film & Wet Plate Photographs

«Autumn» taken with large format 4×5 inch film camera and developed by the photographer. Image was taken from a 60 year old large format film camera from negatives either 4×5 up to 8×10 inches in size. The photograph can be bought for 620 dollars in the size 86×137 cm. From Michael Raymond Photography.

I love this photography with it’s simplicity, yet a lot of feelings. I really get the feeling of a darker time, passing over to autumn. By looking at this photograph I can smell the forest and the trees letting go of their leafs and I can feel the cosyness of a blanket and some candlelight on the table.

This film photograph was taken with 150mm lens, without the rear element. 141mm in 35mm format. It lose a few stops of light and create optical aberration which in this case makes it a dreamy landscape. Photograph from: shootitwithfilm.com

This Photo has symmetry, Mystery and a beautiful focal point. I love the simplicity as you already know, simplicity that say a lot more than you think. This photograph I would love to have in my own livingroom.

«Silent Waters» Large format Wet Plate Photograph taken by Christian Klant. Collodion Wet Plate process, a 150 year old technique. The photograph was taken with an old indian wooden camera as 8,5×15 tintypes, that has been scanned with a special large format scanner, the photographer tells himself.

This wet plate photograph is breathtaking and this would also go in my collection if I could afford it. So much said in one photograph, beautiful silent water with both symmetry and chaos – just as life. Love it!

As you can see, I really love black and white photographs and the depth that comes with large format film and Wet plates are breathtaking. It’s art!
