This is a focal plane shutter I developed for use with
a 4x5 view camera that I have. It produces some very interesting visual effects on film.
It essentially scans a narrow slot over the surface of the film plane, exposing the film
one row at a time.

Here I'm constructing a set of bellows for an 8x10 inch
view camera that I have under construction. When completed, this camera will be capable of
exposing negatives that are
8x10 inches which will then be contact printed onto photographically sensitized paper.
(cyanotype, platinum, or palladium printing). To see more of the construction details, click on the image or the link above.

Once I get the kinks worked out of the 8x10 bellows (figuratively speaking
of course!) I intend to complete a 16x20 inch version.

This is a large aspect ratio 16mm camera that I developed for
making reticles for use with a spectroscope that I manufacture for high school science labs.
The film was advanced by a stepper motor driven by a computer interface to insure accurate
reticle dimensions. This was a short lived device because it was replaced by a laser etched
version which didn't require the use of photographic film.
