Future Endeavors - (Living Document)

On this post, I will list processes I want to try in the future.

I love Chris McCaw's work titled Sunburn. I purchased his beautiful book and have been wanting to try something similar ever since. He puts negatives in large format cameras and takes long exposures of the sun moving across various landscapes. The negatives are not processed, they are created like a Lumen Print with the light affecting the negative directly.

I'd like to avoid burning holes in my film holders, so I am thinking about creating makeshift backs by cutting black matte board.

I plan to use my homemade 4x5 camera with the Schneider 47mm f/5.6 Super Angulon XL. Or maybe the Graflex Speed Graphic with 90mm.
