Hi

I was wondering what everyone reckons this shot was taken with?

GianLuca-Longo.jpg
 
A camera with a waist-level viewfinder.
 
Large Format 5x4 perhaps a field camera MPP or something similar?
 
That's a 5x4, no doubt about it...

SO much fun devving those puppies...:suspect:
 
Just shows how quality has improved with digital - lol.

If that was posted in the critique section and cropped to hide the origins you'd be hearing about how soft it is.

Thank God for digital :D:lol::thumbs:
 
Soft is good. It looks like 35mm that someone's cropped and shopped a 5 x 4 frame in. Guessing what something's shot on over the net is pot luck. Show me a 16 x 12 and I'll tell yer. I did a set of 8 x 6 prints on Agfa grade 0 paper and 50 ASA film and my college tutor wouldn't believe they weren't 5 x 4. They were taken on an OM1.
 
I have a feeling that its a trick question. Its a digital photo that has been shopped to look like it has been taken on a 5X4.
Maybe I'm just paranoid.:D
 
I don't think it IS soft - that's an inherent characteristic of MF shots viewed at same-size or smaller...enlarge that and it'll be pinners...
 
I agree with Rob...... can't you check the EXIF?
 
just curious, why is the black border broken on the top left and top right side

That's the shape of the plate-carrier (the bit that holds the individually-loaded film-sheet - sometimes referred to as a dark-slide).
The black bits are just unexposed emulsion.
 
Ask Neil Gavin? I do not know, I cannot see the photo.

Ah, but it's not in the critique section, is it...

And also, unless the OP is Neil Gavin, which I doubt, it's a third party Image, which we are definitely not supposed to be commenting upon - not fair to comment on things without giving the person who took it a right to reply.

And please, can we not get started in on the film vs digital debate again - the OP posted a shot that was, or at least purports to be shot on a 5x4 plate camera, and wonders how it was done, ergo, they ask on the Film and Conventional section. They get their information, and are presumably happy. If they wish this knowledge in order to do a similar shot, by hireing in the kit, good luck to them. I'm sure someone on here would be able to point them in the right direction. If they want to do a treatment of a digital shot, to make it look similar, equally, good luck to them - after all - it's all supposed to be about the image at the end of the day - not what it was taken on.

It is digital, how do you think it gets on your damn screen.
I'm certain there is a more comfortable home for those smiley's.

Alas, they can come here and say what they like, its not considered a wum post in mod circles...clearly..
 
about time we had a mod for these parts that spent the majority of their time here although there is a certain little something about this probably being the least moderated of all of the sections.
 
It shouldn't need to be - we're all grown-ups here...
