Formula 1 shot on 4x5

[Darshan]

Is it still a waist level finder if it extends from the waist to the neck? 😀

Anyway, I loved the photos, something different.

Beautiful images and wasn't even shot with an iPhone 7. ;-)

I did something similar a few years back but not in F1, historic racing. All shot with an M6, 35 and 50 on tri-x.

Only then...

Which of course made me do this:

Figures. 😉
I like those a lot better, personally.

Still, kudos to Mr Paul for using vintage camera gear and creating attention for film photography.

And you did an amazing job. I got a copy of your book a while back.

Regarding quality comments. I wasn't impressed, either. So, I went to check original quality of same event for hundred years old cameras.

Quality scmality.

To me they invoked a variety of feelings that to me is photography.

The photographer could have mounted any number of newer lenses on it to improve the "Quality" but my guess is he didn't.

Thought his was pretty cool. Did a great job me thinks.

The images are amazing to me. His dedication to craft and carrying the big rig is also amazing, and the best camera for the job is the one that produces for you.

Again, they are wonderful images, but I don't see anything 4x5-ish here.

You Sir, are correct! I forgot about the age of the camera.

I do think the pics are terrific, I made the mistake of thinking that they were taken w a 'modern' 4x5

A great set of action photographs capturing the F1 race.
The camera looks to me, a bigger format, 5x7?
One thing is certain, these shots would be vastly different from all those other shooters!
I thought the grain caused by "actual rain and mist" and an "inferior" lens.
Some lenses are more grainy.(I am right and Erwin Puts has actually proved that).My Pentax Takumar were more grainy than my Summicron.
Same roll, almost identical exposure in studio!
Getting sharp pix has become so everyday, I adore these!

It's a 4x5 Graflex R.B. The R.B. stands for revolving back, I have one that I'm refurbishing. I also have a 3 1/4 x 4 1/2 that I shoot with using a 6x9 roll back. He was probably using a rollback also and 120 roll film rather than actual 4x5 sheet film. Lots of variations but it's simply a SLR with usually a ~135mm 4.5 or 5.6 lens. Top shutter speed is 1/1000th second. So except for the size nothing really difficult about shooting fast cars.
