5 x 4

Discussing my ideas for small world today and a suggestion was to try a 5x4 large format camera. To use  black and white photographic paper (rather than film); create a negative on photographic paper; create a positive image from that in the darkroom; scan that image in and manipulate electronically.

The benefit of this is to make use of the weirdness of the bellows on the 5x4 camera to distort and play with the depth of field.

I now need to start creating the worlds so they can be photographed.
