Well, this was my first exposure with my new-to-me large format camera. I took it up onto the roof of my building on a sunny but windy afternoon to see if I could get anything useful. The exposure itself turned out alright, but as you can see there are processing errors. Those lines across the sky are where the sheets of film I had in the tray overlapped. I need to do a better job moving the sheets around when there are multiples going in the same tray. Or buy a sheet film tank.
Anyway, it was fun getting under the darkcloth for a little while. It can only get better from here!

This photo sums up how I feel about Halifax — one foot looking toward the future, the other toward the past.
It’s interesting that you can look directly onto the face of the building I work in from the top of your building (not the church
)
