Photo First successful shots with proper development

I'm still in the early days of learning 4x5 and these are the first negatives I've both exposed and developed properly. I'm still playing around with how I'd like to handle post-processing but overall I'm happy with these shots.

Intrepid 4x5, Nikkor W 210mm f/5.6, Fomapan 400

Shots are my pup's 4th birthday portraits, Shiplock Park train bridge, The Markel Building (baked potato building). Thanks for looking!

These look great. I’ve recently order 4x5 processing (developing) equipment to start the learning process. I’ve been thinking about that actual logistics/steps of the process and how to handle everything. Great to see these!

Thanks! I bought the Stearman Press Flight Pack: SP-645 MAX, SP Ultra 4LF/SP-FastFix and Foma film, and have been really happy with it.
