I appreciate you looking into this for me. I took another photo in the same area today. I'll be developing it tomorrow to see how it goes. Thanks!
That could have been a possibility too. I was backed into some other mangroves trying to get the photo. I'm looking forward to trying it again to see what happens. Thanks!
I have done that with the dark slide in the past. Much cheaper than a bellows or hood! Thanks.
That's the other item I was trying to think of. Are these lens dependent or film size dependent? Thanks!
Here is the photo...

Hello all!
I have been shooting LF for about six months now. I ran into an issue yesterday that is new to me. Part of the negative was a tad lighter than the other side. After much input,...
Ah, you are correct, it was late when I wrote this. I should know better! Thanks for catching it!

It's great that you are going to wade into the pool. I'm a photo instructor for a couple of community colleges. I teach in the "Lifelong Learning" area. I'm like the original poster, the majority of...
I appreciate you taking the time to respond. You are correct, I used the Reprocity Timer app on the phone and it told me to slow the shutter speed down by two stops, which I did when I had the orange...
I use a thermometer and make sure it's 68F when I start. Thanks!
I don't have a reducing back for my camera yet. I figure it's the cost of learning. I find black and white isn't expensive compared to what some are paying for color. Stearman Press is working on a...
I went from 6 ounces to 3 ounces. Same dilution. Ilfosol 3 @ 1+14
Will,
I really appreciate your help with this. It's slowly coming together. One thing that was recommend to try and slow down the highlights is to do a prewash and then put the developer in....
I appreciate your comments. I totally agree. I have shot about half a box now and everything is getting easier. One thing that I had to realize is that even if two folks were to expose the same, they...
This is great. This really boils it down to make it easy. Granted, I've not been doing this for many years like most here, however I felt as if there had to be a way to get started. I've made a note...
I appreciate this. I figured it can't be that hard with so many folks doing it. I'm sure once you get in the groove and know what works for your process, everything just moves along. Thanks!
Great info. I'll give this a go. Appreciate the input.
Do you meter for the shadow detail and place it in the zone you want, then check your EVs? Thanks!
Doremus,
I appreciate you taking the time for replying and the constructive thoughts. I figured there was something that I was missing. I took your suggestions and since we have the same...
You are correct, I was talking to someone and they said that they were over exposed by two stops. I would love to take a workshop or classes on this (ironically I'm a teacher for digital photography...
You are very correct on the lighting here in FL, that is why I'm trying to wrestle with the dynamic range as I know this is going to be a challenge most days. To keep what I'm doing constant, I keep...
For those who recommend to forget the Zone Sustem, how do you meter the scene and then do you develop per the manufacturer times?
I appreciate all of the feedback. I'll keep at it and see what comes out. Thanks...
To answer some questions, LF, the Zone System and film developing are all new to me. I have been studying all of this for months and decided last month to buy a camera, film and chemicals. Now I'm in...
I have been reading the forum here and watching videos trying to gather as much info as possible as not to irritate more experience folks with this, however at this moment i'm stumped.
I'm new to...
This sounds like it's worth $25. I have seen other LF photographers use this. I was also looking at a zoom viewfinder. I appreciate your input and will check it out. Thanks...
I was looking at that app. You think it's worth it? Thanks...
This might be a stupid question, but it sounds like there must be different ones for different sizes? I'm shooting 8x10. Thanks.
I'm new to LF and I have been watching some videos were the photographer adjusts a loupe for what lens they will be using and look through it to figure out their composition. Does anyone know what...
I've never heard of these. Thanks for your input. I'll check it out. Thanks!
I did see that one. It sounds like it would fit the bill. Do you do much backpacking with it? Thanks...
Spencer
I'm new to LF and I just acquired a Zone VI 8x10 (Fred Picker version). I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on a good backpack to carry the necessary equipment around. Thanks.
No worries! It will come together. We can try for a day maybe before Thanksgiving?
Great! I have some photo students going to Bok Tower on Sunday, Nov. 6th. I should have my new camera by then and I think there may be two others that are going with LF equipment. Let me know if your...
I just reread this, I'll be at Bok Tower on Nov. 6th. Would that interest you?
I've revived another thread for the central FL photographers. I'd figure I would post here as well. I know this post is old, but see if anyone is still watching. We are trying to get something going...
Great! We'll see if anyone else chimes in and coordinate schedules. Thanks!
Hello there everyone. I know we have been discussing times and places. I don't know if anyone is still interested in getting together or not. I'm in the process of buying a 8x10 so I'm excited to get...
I'll check them out, appreciate it!
