This is very interesting...I must try some caffenol. Do you have a recipe? For the past couple of years I have been making what I have called 'in camera lumens'. I have used a simple camera,...
I have made 3 Blurb photo books and been involved with 2 of their magazines. I have used their software to assemble the books and found it quite intuitive. These were all paper covers and used as...
Following the wax recommendation... Along the same line I have put polymer gravures made on thin kozo into frames with glass on both sides and a small light behind. Joe
I have printed cyanotype on rice paper for a number of years and like it very much, my favorite so far is Yasutomo Sketch. It is tricky to coat and process as it is quite fragile. I tape the corners...
All of your approaches make sense. Given the cost of this I would give Bostick an Sullivan a call first…they are always helpful. I use solutions that are quite old without problems.
I chose the image above because it clearly shows the falloff towards the edges. I would assume this would be more pronounced with 7x17. I personally liked this effect along with the grittiness from...
Thanks…a Bostick and Sulllivan shipping box.
This was taken with the 260mm on a homemade diptych camera(2 5x7 holders end to end) shooting old Polycontrast paper. The paper negatives were scanned and printed digitally. It was necessary to do a...
You might find these two websites helpful in addition to what you have. I will be returning from a photo event in the Southwest around this time but will try to show up...I will PM you.

Please tell see what a retina print is. I have been making in camera lumens/ lumen box images for a while. Are retina prints similar? Thanks.
I am on a 3 week trip shooting 4x10, 5x7, and 4x5 with the same camera. I would agree with other posters that it can be less than intuitive but it is beautifully made and predictable. I have been to...
If you go to Mesa Verde NP, which is spectacular and can be busy, consider Hovenweep NM, just over the border in Utah. There are some great ruins and it is easier to shoot with a big camera.

I don't know the exact location other than it was near, most likely west of, Manzanar. You can drive around the perimeter of the monument and there are numerous dirt roads in the vicinity. We have...
I bought this after ruining a negative with print out palladium. I would cut several pieces from the roll and store them in a print sleeve to lessen dust. Each sheet was good for several uses. Since...

I hadn't seen this thread either...diptychs are a favorite. This was taken with a homemade camera...two 5x7 holders, a cardboard box, and a copy camera lens, shot on photo paper.
Sorry I didn't respond yesterday. I have the larger of the two. I think you will be happy with the purchase.
I replaced a tired Zone VI dark cloth with a Wanderer last year. It is made from quality heavy fabric that stays put in the wind...I don't miss the corner weights. The draw cord is a nice addition. I...
I am glad you chimed in, Ron in Alaska/Arcata. I am still interested in a build but other projects got in the way.
Google Thomas Yanul to see what he did. I would like to build something like this but haven't gotten very far. My biggest concern is how to make a 'simple' swing mechanism for the lens. I posed the...
I have shot this film at ASA 6 and developed it in Dektol stock 1:5 with water for 2.5 minutes with high contrast results suitable for some alt processes. I have limited but favorable experience with...
Thank you for the response. That is one beautiful camera! What I have in mind is much smaller. I have a long roll of 5 inch aerial film that has tested well developed in pyro. I have tried in vain to...
Does anyone out there know what spring timing mechanism Mr Yanul used in his cameras...and is there something similar available today?
Rainbow Canyon south of Caliente NV is worth exploring. Pioche has some interesting architecture including the 'million dollar courthouse'.
I had the same thing happen with a big projection lens on my Speed...after that I made a cardboard lens cap and try to remember to use it. The hole in my shutter was about an inch in diameter. I was...
Daniel - Sorry to say I will miss this one...we will be on the train to the Grand Canyon. Here's to nice clouds and no wind. Joe
I have been "successful" exposing ferric oxalate coated paper with meniscus and projector lenses for 1 1/2 to 2 hours in full sun. Does the Pt/Pd slow the emulsion substantially?
