Much like Tim, with these steps:
But, I spot every file I scan at 100%, and I always scan at full resolution (4000 spi with the Nikon 8000 and 6400 spi with the Epson). The wet mount prep...
I've had my 8000 for over a decade now, and have been wet mounting for nearly half that time. The original holder was worthless for keeping the film flat, or as polygot noted, sucks. I borrowed an...
ROL... The mention of Nylon caught my eye... I discovered quite by accident that a tightly woven nylon works wonders against mosquitoes. I've purchased nothing but Nylon shirts and pants for...
Yup. Especially from the western shore of the lake.
Wasn't by any chance September of 2009? That's when the images I made were captured. It was one of the few times we had weather for our...
That is the elusive Cathedral Peak. ;-)
Love the foreground, BTW.
Thomas,
This snap should help with a lay of the land...
It is easy to get turned around with so many spectacular peaks in the area, and each a cathedral in its own right... The cluster in your lovely photo is Echo Peaks, which has some terrific climbing...
As you surmised, there is a climbers route (hike) that is shorter than the main trail. It goes to the lower lake. The short-cut is not physically demanding, but there are a few spots where one can...
As have I, back by starlight. But, I can't recommend it as the results were obviously not worth it:
Alpenglow, Cathedral Peak...
Bump Pyramid Lake. Also, two hours east of Reno on 80 is Thunder Mountain. See http://thundermountainmonument.com/ a photographic Mecca of sorts in Nevada. Unique. If you're headed this weekend, keep...
Photography is like any language. We all struggle to learn a few words initially, string a few sentences together, and eventually become conversant. But the true command of the language comes with...
Looks like you're right Vaughn. Just checked the webcams again and the views from Sentinel and Turtleback look promising. The cloud layer is dropping, and that, at least usually means rain.
...
Sigh... Looking at the webcams today hasn't been uplifting...
We got hammered here in Boise between 8 and 11 in the morning with six inches of white stuff yesterday before it shifted to rain....
Another trip around the sun, and already it is time to make plans for Shooting the West.
I just received notification from the folks in Winnemucca that registration has opened for this year's...
Well, NPS issued a release earlier today stating Tioga Road would close tonight (Tuesday) at 7 pm in advance of the system.
Glacier Point Road would remain open unless conditions deteriorate.

I've been very pleased with all the purchases I've made on Craigslist US. Early on, when I didn't recognize scammer behavior, I followed up on what turned out to be dubious listings.
They are easy...
I was fortunate to see this earlier in the month. Gorgeous... which isn't a surprise. Great to see such a broad selection on the walls all at the same time. Congrats!
Both styles (ORIGINAL and HYBRID) BLACKJACKETs can be washed. There is a care label on the inside that advises:
"Gently hand-wash with mild detergent. Drip dry."
Though we've been fortunate...
Congrats QT! Looking forward to seeing it in person.
I use a similar approach, so long as there is no back tilt. With my Toyo, when I tilt the back, I can't insert a film holder from the bottom, nor can I remove the back to rotate its position.
Looks like the kind of place that would be worth the wait, and the waiting enjoyable.
I used to think the dogwood near Pohono Bridge never stood still, but on rare occasions it has behaved. That's...
Can't help but imagine the "breeze" that took those trees down.
Early man-o-pause. :-)
Exactly. Your body heat generates micro thermals that can induce movement in plants with delicate stems. Some twenty years back, it was Pat Ohara that was the first person I...
Precisely! Great story.
On a large scale, they are referred to as anabatic and katabatic winds. We had 'em in Yosemite. They were especially noticeable when fires were burning in the high...
I'm with Bruce on this one, though instead of tides, I think of the landscape as "breathing" and I wait for the pause between the breaths. Most often, the extra time is spent looking more closely at...
Out, but... keep the trap covered with the focusing cloth.
Much like the PA-45, I have to keep the darkslide in its sleeve with my Calumet roll film adapter, otherwise I get light leaks. The...
Wayne Merry, too! Seems to me that's about when the nordic ski school started.
You have to admit that the view from Dewey is worth the effort, though I like Stanford even more.
Still at it in...
Not the full blown weather data. It was primarily ski conditions, weather outlook, all reported to media outlets and aggregators at ungodly hours so that folks headed into the park for the day would...
Bump W-burg... also my home town.
Some interesting architecture in Suffolk, peanut capitol of the world.
And if you can spend a night, the property that used to be an OMNI (I think it is a...
Keith,
I have a degree in Economics and will add this one...
"If you placed all the economists in the world end-to-end, you'd reach..... no conclusion."
ROL,
It was people like me feeding...
Kirk, I feel for your buddy. I used to have to record ski conditions with the various media outlets from Yosemite Valley for Badger Pass, which was miles away and 3,000 feet higher than where I was....
I agree Kirk. Looking out the window does work, and I often feel the weather coming rather than relying on stats. This was especially true when you're intimately familiar with a particular region....
As a tool for planning (besides looking out the window);) , the noaa.gov's weather data has been one of my favorite tools, especially the tabular data that includes hourly cloud cover, precipitation,...
When I first started using the 4870, I advocated using the MEDIUM sharpening setting in Epsonscan. At the time, it seemed to produce files that looked more like what I'd expect to see of a raw,...
Sintra is interesting stuff.
Rather than mounting my prints to it, I use it as my work surface. I've got two 4x8 work tables, each with a sheet of Sintra on top of it.
I use it because the...
I recommend a product called DATA RESCUE by prosoft engineering. A friend turned me onto it. He had accidentally deleted his entire photo library, bought the software for $100 and got everything...
Hey Brian, the universe is conspiring to keep me away, so I probably will miss you. If I can clear the decks, I'll only only be able to make it for the weekend. I blew a head gasket in California on...
Brian,
The section of highway 95 north of Winnemucca is a gorgeous drive. I am guessing you'll be coming via Abert Lake and the Abert Rim in Oregon, catching 95 at Burns Junction?
Coming...
Wow! I paid $750 for mine new... and I'm on my third meter. I crushed the first one in a fall and drowned the second one in the Merced River in an unplanned winter swim.
I love the feature that...
