This was taken with my Toyo View camera about a month ago.
I just got a drum scan back yesterday, and the scan itself was 1.2gb @16 bits, and 600mb @8bits. The pixel dimensions were 16575×13090. There is not a digital camera on earth (mass produced anyway) that can produce this image in one frame.
I can assure you that film is not dead. The film I used for this image measures 4 inched by 5 inches, and that is about the size of a postcard (the actual negative is that big). I know every time I post a 4×5 image, I mention all this, but until you actually shoot with a 4×5 camera, you just cannot imagine how beautiful the original slide is. I added all the real exif data if you are interested.

Very nice !
This really is great. I’ve started shooting large format now as well – this was one of those shots that helped motivate me to get into it.
How did you manage to edit the exif data from the drum scan. I’d love to do the same, but I haven’t been able to find software to let me adjust anything more than the time stamp. I’d appreciate any tips!
