This has a lot of sadness...had New York just lost the Series?

This is extraordinary. Very nice.

I hope they are held without bail until it rains 10 inches. Fools.
If the film is held without any contact with glass, how does the system deal with sheet film that isn't flat?
There seems to be common response that morning is golden and evening is more red.
So I consulted my wife who is a mentor on the physics forum. I asked her to post the question there. She rolled...
I like this a lot. What kept be me looking at this was the question of who is the subject.
Is it dad--protective and proud? or
Is it the scowling baby--"why are we stopping? Who is that behind me?...
How many people are scared by this photo?
Is it the lighting that reminds me of Hitchcock's Psycho?

I'm the same as David. I can remember all that I printed.
The head had an LB on it near the edge. I'm not sure it was an SAE grade, but my old hardware guy said it was the softest he had.

I shot this today, not as artistic venture, but to illustrate the importance of using a proper sheer bolt on one's augur on the back of a 50 horse tractor. I hit a rock and the 7/16 inch...
One of my top ten best movies. The chase through the sewers Vienna was spectacular. The sound was as important as the use of black.
BTW: Carol Reed directed the movie. Orson Welles was a main...
My brother and I drove from Seattle to Smith Rock in central Oregon to take a photo of the comet Hale-Bopp with Smith Rock in the foreground. On the way, we stopped in Detroit, Oregon to get gas. ...
In the 1890s the estimate was "there's a sucker born every minute." That was when there was only 1.7 billion people in the world. Now, there's 7 billion. And I haven't seen any indication at all...
Nino, I really like this portrait. I don't know how you did it, but it is like she is looking at us with an innocent eye and a not so innocent eye (her left one). Spectacular. Compelling.
My only...
Federal staff who promulgate the "rules" rarely step outside the beltway. Their job is to make rules. So they make rules. They are not bothered by the realities on the ground, or whether the rules...
Drew, once again I would recommend reading the article. Let me point out a key paragraph:
“We had to convince them our stories would be in keeping with their interpretation of the values of...
Drew, "The journalists can follow the rules, just like the rest of us have to."
Did you bother to read the article? If you did, you must have missed the part about the local forest service...
The quote is down a ways in the article about Forest Service requiring permits for photojournalists.

Ooops. My mistake. I had only skimmed the text and assumed it was from the Apollo mission. So I take my snide comment back. Not bad quality given the limitations and challenges.
In today's NY Times:...
I fixed mine once by tossing the cap in some boiling water for a couple of minutes and then wrapping it with a wide, tight rubber band and leaving it for a few days. The tighter fit last for almost...
My grandmother always scolded us that if we picked a trillium it wouldn't bloom again for 7 years. Can anyone validate that?
Heroique, I love the depth of your first shot.
I do believe this belongs in the portrait thread. Perhaps titled: "Two old French fishermen watching the sun set"
Here's an "eleventh essential" I've been using: Trip reports before you leave.
There is a lot of crap on the internet, but backpackers' trip reports are pretty remarkable. You can learn about...
get a bag of sweeping compound from a janitorial supply store. I use that to pick up most of drywall dust, then vacuum with a heap filter. The sweeping compound binds to the dust and makes clump.
Tell your wife that if darkroom water use had any meaningful effect on total water use there would be plenty of water because there are probably on 7 darkrooms left in all of California.
Of...
Bob, Holly Heck! You going to rent your space out to a cardiac surgeon when you're not using it?

Heroique, She's not in a very deep sleep. When I climbed Baker a few years ago, there was a very active vent about 1,000 feet of elevation below the summit. When the mid-day snowmelt poured into...
Matus, When I became a father, my whole world shrunk as did my photography. But by the time my daughter was 17 she had me jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at about 12,000 feet. My oldest...
The law in effect today is only a prohibition on manufacture. Shipping and sale of incandescent bulbs is still legal.
By "fix" do you mean eye surgery? I know a lot of people who have had it done, but the thought of someone cutting on my eyes creeps me out. I have graduated trifocals which I can change as...
I am still using Epson K3 inks with expiration dates of 2009. There is no change in the image from the same prints made when the inks were "fresher." Are these dates just a way to get us to buy...
remember to stop 1 stop down to compensate for the hole in the ozone. :)
Just to offer a technical clarification: when you are metering a single light source (pointing it at the flash) you need to use the flat diffuser not the dome. The dome picks up light from more than...
Does that make it sculpture or photography?
