Great stuff. I just started shooting with my Crown Graphic 4x5 pacekeeper camera. Used 3D printed film holder for Paterson tank, didn’t work perfectly but got images. Now designing my own 4x5 film developing tank
great scans, I did the same with my recent addition; a sinar F2, and a zoom 120 back in 6x12 ; but I have recently done a wet Printing (intro to darkroom) one on one class, so know the start of the 'wow' that is wet printing, that was a 120 645 format H1 hasselblad roll of Acros 100, on 8x10" Ilford MGRC glossy paper; turned out beautifully. Such a shame you didn't wet print this negative, even if just a 'contact' print. yes, you could do some of this in wet printing, and for the background blur, next time, shoot with a stop or two more iris, aka f5.6/9 instead of f11 in LF this would have given you the subject separation, and bokeh, as this formats' depth of field is so narrow, and if too much light, just add an ND filter to account for this extra stop.
I did wet printing for about 25 years in my portrait business, all on fiber and selenium toned. Agfa was my fav paper because of its rich warm tones, but when it was discontinued, I was heartbroken and realized the scanner allowed me to print as large as I want. These images are not altered at all in PS. The Bokah is from the brass Petzval lens that I used. My Petzvel is 5.6 only and I use a hat trick for the shutter Haha...
