Thanks for the comments Roger.
It sounds a very intresting project taking church interiors with a rotary camera.
You certainly will have a huge image area. My main reasons for using 5x4 is not for the image area it provides but because of the superb range of wide angle lens available. The 75mm I used for the shot above allowed me with the use of movements to include all of the foreground arch whilst being in a very confined space.
panoramic shots are something I am just beging to experiment with and I look forward to seeing how your interiors turn out on usefilm

When I saw how long ago this had been posted I had a quick look at your portfolio to see if you were still active... and producing works as stunning as this. I was glad to find you are! I love the long range of tones and the luminous quality of the light up there in the higher reaches. I have a project to take the interiors of all 34 Anglican churches in the Tokyo Diocese, and although we have nothing of the scale of Lincoln cathedral, at least I know the standard to reach for. It will be a real stretch... Incidentally I will be using a 120-format rotary camera, and my negative areas will probably be bigger than your 4 x 5". [grin]

Thanks for the comments.
Matt I do control contrast during development. To prevent the highlights burnig out and to gain good shadow detail I use a much weaker solution of Id11 developer than normal and extend the development time, using far less agitation say 10 seconds in every 2 minutes.
Its an old trick that works very well.And the great advantage with any large format camera is being able to process one sheet at a time.

Most excellent! Great contrast control! Was contrast adjusted dering development?
This is outstanding my man!

Highly formal composition fitting for a place of worship. The repeating patterns are highly effective. The gray scale is exquisite. This reminds me of a B&W image used to illustrate a printing process or printing paper.
Very well done.
