All 340 megapixels of him. First picture with my new camera. Not entirely unsuccessful but also a bit over exposed and not focused correctly. But als no light leaks so that’s something! Especially given that the camera and the film holder are 150 year old pieces of solid-mahagoni furniture.
This was shot on 18×24 cm Ilford MGRC Paper (negative inverted digitally), 3 minutes at ISO 1 (which was a bit pessimistic) and f18.
The camera is from Berlin, around 1875, but the lens is a Rodenstock Bistigmat from Munich, and from about 1897 or so. The Penguin is from Africa and a bit younger.
