Daily Reel #12.

Today’s shot is a one of my final 4×5 film images for Architecture in college. I honestly didn’t enjoy Architecture until this final project. I couldn’t stand photos of boring architecture, especially houses… which was what I shot most of in that class. But I wanted something awesome  for my final project. So after calling every number and email every email I could find for the Fox Theatre, I was able to reach an intern by the name of Yoonhwa who is now apart of their Restoration Staff. She was super awesome and actually let us stay for 8 hours the first day and a couple hours the second. Because of her kindness, I made an A in Architecture and had 5 final Architecture images for my Graduation Portfolio.

I loved shooting The Fox. As you can imagine, the inside is incredible. I’ll post one of the interior images tomorrow. Before this shoot, we hadn’t exposed longer than a minute at school with the 4×5 cameras. Each shot I did of these images, besides this exterior shot, was 4 minutes to 11 minutes. This exterior shot was about 1 minute. Check out the specs.

Specs: Camulet 4×5 View Camera, I believe an 80mm lens, Kodak Portra 400 4×5 film.
