4x5 film?

[jotloob]

I love and still do lots of 4x5. scanning is tricky and time consuming at the begining. Here are a few recent work using RVP50 QL and Epson V750 for scanning. For B&W, I managed to bought some Fuji Neopan Acros ISO 100 Quickload before it discountinued earlier this year.

I like these two images . Very nice .

But you have a strong magenta cast in them .
The question is , where does that cast come from .
Is the cast already on the RVP 50 or is that cast a result from scaning .

I have played a little bit with a screen shot of one of the images and would like to show you the result of a short attempt to remove the magenta cast .
Look at the clouds , where you can best see what I mean.

my guess was that these shots were taken at dawn, and the magenta light was a natural part of the scene (no one one the streets, so i suspect it's pretty early)

I'm still shooting some 4x5 for fun. I don't like ready loads because the I've had some problems with travel and light leeks, and the cost is just so high I can't spend that kinda money on film.. I still do my B/W in my bathroom and hang it using a clothing drying stringy thingy ( allot of ing's!) that i got from Bed bath and beyond. I haven't had any dust problems and I live in a REALLY old apartment in Brooklyn. I scan with a V700 that I bought the Aztec wet scan kit for and I wet scan right off the glass. It all works very well and cost nearly nothing to do, and its fun!
I like mixing the old any them new technologies...
B-!

4x5 is all I shoot now. Picked up a Chamonix 45n-2 earlier on this year and love it. The V750 has a pretty decent 4x5 film holder, the sturdiest of all the sizes I think, the medium format holder is also decent for 6x6 and 6x7 which I used in the past. Here are some scanning examples done on the 750.
