I have a film camera ( Nikon 2020 ) with markings on a zoom lens that help me visualize what might be on a 7x11" large format image... today I tried to do it with my digital camera. Thinking of going here this weekend to make a calotype...

Scanned and inverted calotype. I am not going to make a salt print from this one, but I promise there will be some of those soon! Very big surf on Sunday, and a gorgeous day to be at the coast. Mango and I went on a long walk on Wright's beach after stopping to make this.

Warts, wrinkles and all. The main damage was caused by me trying to develop it by applying the developer with a cotton ball. When I realized I was damaging it, I stopped and poured it on. There are many defects in this, but there are also some good things. If you were familiar with the Sonoma Coast, you would recognized this view! This was made with a homemade box camera. I'd never used it with the lens wide open and the focus was off. Still, it's a real calotype and my first one! This picture is 5-1/3 x 9 inches.

I was at the beach picking up a solargraphy camera in the late and very foggy evening yesterday. These incredible wildflowers were on the cliffs above the sea. Over the weekend I made a new "pinholaroid" camera, so I tried with a 2 minute exposure. When I got home I calculated the exposure including reciprocity failure and came up over with 20 minutes!! Anyway this is from my first pack of film through the new camera.

Late very foggy evening on the cliffs above the sea. 20 minute pinhole paper negative.
