Shooting with the old and New

It may seem insane to carry a 1940's Speed Graphics camera along with a Betterlight digital scanning back to a remote part the island but I was determined to see how the kit managed in the field.

The "kit" comprises of a heavy duty tripod, the 4 x 5 camera, the digital scanning back, the scanning back interface/hard drive, a portable power pack and a laptop computer. I picked two locations one overlooking Ramla bay and one from Nadur. Each shot produced a close to 300 Mbyte file and I took several shots at each location.

Was it worth it? I guess only time will tell, check out
