Another shot from my 1902 Century Studio No. 5 #5x7 camera on #ilforddirectpositivepaper. As the name of the camera suggests, this is really intended to be an indoor camera, but I took it outside the other day and shot this view of my backyard. It’s a little overexposed I think. I exposed it for 10 seconds and maybe it really only wanted 5.

I got some J. Lane dry plates the other day for the dry plate holder I bought. I hope to give that a try in the next day or two.

Creek.

First shot from the vintage 1902 Century No. 5 I bought in St. Augustine a couple of weeks ago. This is shot in my back yard on 5x7 Ilford Direct Positive paper, because I’m not set up yet to develop 5x7 film. I think the reason the left half is completely white is that the sheet fell out of the holder and into the camera when I reinserted the dark slide and fell ins funny shape that caused part of it to be completely overexposed when I retrieved the sheet. And it’s blurry because I wasn’t using a tripod for a roughly 3 second exposure. Even with all that, I love it.

I hope to get a better idea of what the lens can do with a couple of shots I took this afternoon.
