The 4X5

Thanks be to Jordie for introducing me to the 4X5.  Though they call it a field camera, its still a bit bulky and arduous.  Well worth the hassle though; the image quality is unbelievable.  With a good scan, I can blow these prints up to 10' tall!  Below is a sample of what I've been up to.
