They look great on my iPhone. I'd love to see them developed.

Wat, you mean Ansul Adams didn't use a Kodak brownie???????

I had the opportunity to do some work with a 5x7 linhof years ago, the lens iirc was about $500.

This is also not true

Pretty cool.

Ok maybe it's because I haven't had enough caffeine yet but I'm going to be different. The fact that he got any image is pretty impressive with that big monster. And his composition is good. BUT other than it's 'stunt' factor ( which I'll give you is high) the images were blurred (even the stills) and very under exposed. Nothing done there that can't be done easier with a dslr.

Definitely didn't get off any fast shutter speeds

It's nice that he made the effort, but I don't think he did much that couldn't be accomplished with more easily used modern equipment.

However, back in the very early days of racing, some cameras had a particular type of shutter that made the cars look like they were moving very fast.

The whole car, including the tires looked like it was leaning forward into the wind.

With an old Nikkormat SLR, with a vertical shutter curtain, and with a very wide angle lens, one could achieve the same effect with (relatively) modern equipment. As regards the photo above, the photographer was probably risking his life while taking the picture. The car is probably a LOT closer to the photographer than one would think.

Yeah, they kind of suck IMO.

I like most of them. I like the narrow depth of field he gets. I'm a bit surprised that they're not sharper.

As someone who shoots film, including 4x5 on a Graflex...I am not that impressed with these pictures.

Tough crowd.

Lol Well, take a large format film camera capable of stunningly sharp pictures albeit at slow speeds and fail to get a sharp or even artistically fuzzy image of still subjects,(subjective I know) combine that with drastically underexposed images that further look amateurish in execution and THEN ask a bunch of photographers to admire the results, and you may get less then enthusiastic responses.

Am I impressed at the effort he put forth? ABSOLUTYLY. Am I impressed at the results? Nope. I honestly believe a genuinely skilled photographer familiar with the capabilities and limitations of the equipment, would have come away with some genuinely awesome images. Stuff worthy of hanging on a wall.

Or maybe I'm just a cranky grump.

I meant no offense and I really DO believe that what he attempted was cool as hell. I also know my results with that monster rig would've been vastly worse. So kudos to him for the effort.
