Ground Glass

I bought this 4×5 view camera several weeks ago for super cheap. It came with a lensboard, but no lens, so I was experimenting with different large format lenses I have, but couldn’t find one that was the right size for the hole. So I was playing around with a magnifying glass only to find that it actually worked. And if you’re familiar with my large format work, you’ll realize that the loss of focus in the edges is hardly a downfall of using this. So I taped it to the inside of the lensboard, and here you have it. I have yet to shoot any polaroid with it, and I don’t feel like developing sheet film (nor do I have the supplies for that right now), so I’ll post the first image when I do shoot it.

This is a fantastic composition of light and darkness. Great.
