Sawtooth Mountains

Here are a couple of images I took of the Sawtooth Mountains in Idaho. They were both taken with an 4x5" Shen Hao, using Tmax 100 film.

Hand-made Plate Camera

For the past month or so I've been building a plate camera to be able to learn how to do wet plate collodion and tintypes. I've finished building the camera and wanted to test it, so I cut down some Kodak Tmax 100 4x5 film and put it in front of the plate. The lens is a Plaubel and Co. F4.5 18cm. The format of the camera is a quarter plate (4" x 3 1/4"). The image is of another camera of mine, a Yashica C Twin Lens Reflex.
