Admiral Church

One thing I appreciate about large format cameras, is the ability to manipulate the geometry of the projected image on the ground glass. Thought I'd have a little fun with this one.
Location
Admiral, Saskatchewan. On the Red Coat Trail.
Equipment Used
Canham 8x10 Light Weight
Film & Developer
HP5 8x10; Pyrocat-HD
Looks like fun Andrew.
And being Saskatchewan, like there may have been Canadian Whisky involved.
 
good thing it's got that leash to hold it up.
It's going to be another nice print, I think. I suspect there might be a "straight" version from the other side of the holder...
 
@NedL I was thinking the same thing about the "leash". I don't think I would like it as much if it wasn't there! Only made one exposure, so I'm stuck with this one!
@Eric Rose it does feel like that when looking at the photo, but surprisingly calm for the open prairie at that time of day. I was pretty lucky during my entire road trip...including Alberta. There were times where I it was just too much for the big camera.
 
When I saw the thumb, I didn't notice the slant & just thought it was going to be another wonderful shot. It certainly *is* wonderful, but didn't expect the welcome mirth.
 
Well done - makes it very interesting. I agree with NedL, you probably also have a straight one. I like that it's leaning to the right, and yes, it does have a 'leash' to keep it from leaning too far.
 
@HiHoSilver Sometimes adjusting movements for corrections, isn't "correct". For the architectural photography, I suppose this rendition would be unacceptable.... Cheers!
@awty Yes, I did use a red filter. Wratten #25...
@bsdunek Nope. This is the only one I have. Homage to my "only got 2, 8x10 holder" days.

Thanks for commenting!
