I've been trying to get my Sinar P 8 x 10 camera working at Encounter Studio. I bought it well over a decade ago and I have rarely used it as I gave up photography soon after. It is too heavy and too engineered to be used in the field, which is what I bought it for originally. Why I have no idea.
Since I now use the old Cambo 8x10 as a field camera, the Sinar has become a studio camera, which is what it is originally designed for. That has meant acquiring a large studio stand, a big geared head to hold the weight of the camera and reflectors.
As I only have a normal lens (300mm) I am limited to what I am able to shoot in the studio. I cannot do closeups at all, nor portraits with ease. Nor can I afford to buy more gear--such as additional lenses. So I have to work within the limits of what I have got.
So I will try and do some constructed black and white images with a model--ie., Suzanne. What 'constructed images' will be I have no idea at this stage.
