4.25″ x 3.25″ colour Polaroid print titled Still Life #1 depicting a stoneware vase resting in a flax basket on a wooden stand. Photographed unfiltered under tungsten lighting on a Shen-hao HZX 4X5-IIA Field Camera, Rodenstock 150mm Sironar S @ f/5.6, 1/8sec on Polaroid PolaColor 690 film.

This is the first photo I ever made with my new 4×5 camera albeit with the foreground ending-up a little clipped. Also jerked the packet when removing from the camera which resulted in some clouding of developer on the right-hand side of the print which I removed for the web version here with the cloning tool.
