Large Format

The large format film photography community is a relatively small, but very dedicated one. Smaller still is the subset that shoots instant Polaroid-style sheets. But, that group will surely be happy to hear about today's Impossible Project announcement.Starting at the end of the month, they'll be selling packs of their PQ 8x10 instant film with 10 exposures for $189. It's certainly not cheap, but this kind of picture-taking never has been and that's part of its allure.

Usually, exposing a 4x5-inch negative requires an relatively elaborate process that involves a giant camera, a dark cloth and more preparation that most of us are used to here in the age of the DSLR. Artist Aaron Gustafson, however, attached his 4x5 camera to a helmet and flung himself out of a plane in order to capture some extremely unique landscape photos.
