Closing out my #FP4Party posts with a few more shots from the Graflex up in/near #Asheville. These are from Craggy Pinnacle. They're not perfect but well worth carrying my camera up that trail.

I shot a few rolls and sheets of #IlfordFP4 over the last few weeks, so I'm finally ready for a few entries for #FP4Party.

I'll start with a shot from my #Graflex in/near #Asheville. This particular shot was from an overlook on the #BlueRidgeParkway heading toward Craggy Gardens. Shot with a red filter. The 3000 px resolution doesn't do it justice…zooming in on the treeline on the full 4x5 scan is awesome. I've included a snippet of a screenshot as an example.

In case this helps anyone else: My #CrownGraphic came in a box with a number of accessories, including a push-on Series VI filter holder. There were a few filters, but they’re pretty hazy and the whole thing is fiddly to use.

I started trying to find a Series VI to threaded filter adapter, and it’s surprisingly hard to do, especially not having something to hold in your hand and see if it works.

After reading a variety of (what ended up being incorrect) comments on forums regarding the thread size, I ordered a pair of cheap 40.5mm to 52mm adapter rings in hopes it would fit the threaded area in the filter holder, but alas it did not.

BUT! It did fit snugly (with the help of some pliers) in the ring that threads *into* the filter holder. So I ended up creating a bit of a hacky adapter - but without a 52mm filter threaded onto it, it still folds into the camera, so it works pretty well and can be left on the lens. As there was an extra set of filter retaining ring and push on adapter, I felt okay risking getting pliers involved. Now I’ll be able to use 52mm threaded filters (of which I have plenty) for shooting with the Crown Graphic.

Pleased with the results from my second jaunt with the 4x5. I tried scanning negs in the print file sleeve, which appears to have improved the focus on the scanner as I'm not able to use a negative carrier. I also had to scan each in two strips (V600 is designed only for 135 and 120 negs) and join them in Affinity Photo. Upside: focus improved. Downside: the sleeves themselves attract a *lot* of dust. The attached have been converted down for Mastodon...they don't do justice to the resolution these have. Full size scans are 15700 × 12500.

The truck picture was a pleasant surprise, it is one of the pictures I forgot to stop down after focusing…I metered a 3 sec exposure at f/22 but fired it at f/4.7 🤦🏻‍♂️ But, the fact that I overexposed by *counts on fingers* SIX STOPS and still got a decent image shows how flexible film is - although perhaps reciprocity failure saved me a bit as well?

I've got another 16-17 sheets of cheap film left to get a little better at this, after that I have a small box of #IlfordFP4 and a small box of #TriX I'm really excited to try.

The #AnalogueFilm camera used at the #CreativeWorkshop yesterday.

The #Graflex #CrownGraphic aka Graflex #PacemakerCrownGraphic is a #LargeFormat press #camera introduced by Graflex Inc. in 1947. The lesser known Crown Graphic is commonly mistaken for the Graflex Speed Graphic which is often regarded as the most famous press camera of all time. The mistake is easy to make, however, since the two cameras are identical apart from an additional focal plane shutter on the speed.
