Medium Format
I personally have never experimented a lot with medium format cameras and only recently have I begun to explore the technical side of the camera. I was browsing a second hand shop and came across this camera. This beautiful camera is the No.1 Kodak JR medium format camera.This camera was made by Eastman Kodak Co., Rochester, N.Y., USA and produced between 1914-27 with quantity 800.000+ units.
"A Medium format has traditionally referred to a film format in still photography and the related cameras and equipment that use[1] film. Generally, the term applies to film and digital cameras that record images on media larger than 24 by 36 mm (full-frame) (used in 35 mm photography), but smaller than 4 by 5 inches (which is considered to be large-format photography".(1)
This camera although it is really old and not a technique I use that often, I can remember how to loads and to develop the film. This is something I would like to take further and look closely into and try to take my own images on the camera itself.
When I find the correct 120 film for this camera I hope to take images that follow the current exam theme, FALLING. I am looking closely into the types of shots I want to take and following my idea of a narrative based images I want to take some images both inside and out that explore just that.
