Some spanish civil war (1936-39) bunkers arround Lleida in Catalonia. Those are part of the Republican Segre river frontline during 1938-39.
I took this pictures with a quite adequate 4x5 Graflex Speed Graphic, military model: it's called a "C-3 Ground Camera", made in 1944 for the USAAF; Ilford FP4+ developed in HC110.
After sunset on June 29th, National Camera Day, I felt guilty for not making a photo, so I threw the Crown Graphic in the car and headed to a nearby lake.
Crown Graphic, 135mm f4.7 Schneider Xenar, Tri-X 320, HC-110 1:47
This is the exact location where Harriett Tubman escaped with a small group of saves into freedom by wading into the river at night and then taking a small boat to the North: Stomps_2000pix
Haven't shot much 4x5" this year, with most events being cancelled.
Some shots from last year's Living History trip.
Graflex Anniversary Speed Graphic, 127mm f/4.7 Ektar, Fomapan 100.
The camera had taken a tumble into a drainage ditch, together with the photographer and was still doing okay.....the RF was out of whack, and the drop bed was slighly bent at this point.
Once I got back home I managed to beat it back into shape with a vice and a mallet. 😉
