Robert, since it’s using a digital negative I don’t have to dial in too much, but there are all of those wonderful alt process variables that keep me at about 4 of every 5 as keepers.

Nice image jer, how many do you sacrifice to the photo gods in order to get a good print?

Trevor, I’m honestly not too sure as I haven’t waxed anything that wasn’t drymounted to an opaque paper. I can tell that it makes it slightly more transparent, but due to the cost of Renaissance Wax vs. the cost of bees wax I wouldn’t use it for making paper negatives more transparent for printing through.

Gorgeous image. I’m curoius about the waxing portion of your process. Does it make the vellum even more transparent? How do you think the Renaissance product would work with making paper negs?

If you look at the location the shot was made from (distance laterally shifted from the center line) I think you can tell I was in the passenger seat for these. All were 1-3 second long exposures. 11 pm in the desert, quite fun. The light far off in the distance is light pollution from Las Vegas, Nevada, nearly 100 miles away.

I never before realized how much those traffic barrier barrels looked like cat-in-the-hat hats!

I saw these on Flickr and was tempted to say this:
“Hey look! no hands!”

…hope you had one hand on the wheel, Jeremy.

I like the third from the top the best.

Comment on fort worth with the 8×10 by jeremydmoore

Rich,

I’ve actually gone out a couple of times with a *much* lighter Ansco Commercial 8×10 (maybe 6 pounds to the C-1’s 18) and that’s a fun experience. With the C-1 it’s so heavy as to make the process unenjoyable, which strikes me as being the wrong route to go. I think the area I am photographing in also hinders using the hefty C-1 as I have to park far away and hike to the location.

Plus, down the road of processing I can develop 10 4×5’s compared to 5 8×10’s at one time and scanning 4×5’s is a cinch while scanning 8×10’s is laborious. With what I’m shooting and the size I’m printing (4″x5″ and 8″x10″ using digital negatives) for this project the 8×10 just doesn’t make as much sense. The 8×10 is still the go-to for portraiture for me, though.

Oh, you’ll get used to it ;^)

I go out with my 4×5, 8×10 and 11×14 at least 2-3 times a month in Phoenix and surrounding areas, even in summer. Granted my cameras are Arcas and are more compact and lightweight, but with all the lenses, holders, etc. It probably weighs close to half my (145) weight. You just have to pace yourself. I find that I am using my 4×5 less and less, except for color.

Nice work… keep it up.
