Nice light Steve, strong simple composition. Like how everything contrasts against each other and how the background looks.
Another digi snap..
More digi snaps of prints and one digi capture..
Talking about cats this was one cool cat from a trip to Tuscany. Digi snap of a print from 35mm. Ignore the mouldy old cropping L's!
I just read Hutchings in his ''The Book Of Pyro'' page 59 where he states that... ''PMK solution can be used in an open tray in excess of one hour without development problems''.
That was my...
Doremus,
Thats very helpful indeed. Thanks for your time and insight. I may just get around to using your method and testing this properly. I use tubes for 5x4 and always think to do the same for...
The PMK was still good after doing 3 negs individually one after the other. All 3 were developed for 17 min each. Contrast looks consistent across the 3 negs. I know Hutchings mentions about the...
How long will it be good for in an open tray? Could I be safely developing 8x10 one at a time over the course of a few hours in the same batch of PMK?
Thanks
Hello Mat, thanks for the confirmation and the info. Hope you dont miss your C1 to much;-)
Thanks Len, I'll wait for further confirmation just to be certain.
Does the Deardorff and the Calumet C1 (Back Version) share the same lens boards?
Thanks.
Sounds like the prudent thing to do.
I really see no point in parting with the 10x8 unless you need the cash for something else. Things change. You just might find your desire for 10x8 reignited 6 months from now and then you remember...
Chosing film is personal and comes down to your own aesthetic. You'll find that you'll like the look and feel of certain film and developer combinations over others. I would urge you to ignore any...
Thanks Ian thats just great.
Thanks Ian thats great. Would that be used at the same dilution as in the PMK Sodium Metaborate solution ie 2 Parts B + 100 Parts of water?
Many thanks Sevo.
That'll be 6g to a litre of PMK working soluton right? Just checking;)
Trying to get those crystals back into solution is a pain. I'm finally taking your advice Eric.
Can Borax (sodium tetraborate) can be substituted for sodium metaborate in PMK?
That's a lovely way of looking at things.
I'll adopt that.
StopClock Professional by RH Designs. Great timer, great build quality, great support, second to none. Currently rethinking the need and efficacy of a timer in favour of a ticking metronome for...
First attempt at alternate processes so excuse the poor sensitiser spread, I need some more practice

Beautiful. What...
Never tried it...but I recognize the smell of bs just fine. Big pharma must be making a mint out of old guys like you.
I like a bit of S&M now and then...
Wise words... if you heed them you'll save a lot of valuable time and energy.
If you can manage to stick around here long enough you'll come to realize that this place is never short on assholes....
...looks like he's gotten rid of it!
MDM, I don't think your in any position to be handing out any sort of advice negative or otherwise especially when the work you display on your web site is taken into consideration!
That's a very authoritative statement, given that you severely weakened a composition greatly improved upon by Ken Lee. Some eyes can see.
Amazing image. Makes the Gursky look like shit;-)
Robert, very beautiful indeed.
love it...
If you can handle the expense why not enjoy it with abandon till its gone. If not, sell it on and buy BW film if you think its more suited to your grey habitat;-)
I'd much rather use my cash to buy materials to print FB prints in the DR from my own negatives.
Jeffrey your responding to a thread that's 10 years old I'm afraid and Enrique Vila's last activity here was 24-Jul-2005.
Ah...I see, thanks.
Great photo Christo. Could you explain how you created the back ground effect?
As Peter said; plus the timer mentioned has two separate programmable channels that make split grade printing easy. The timer has made my D/R experience more controlled and enjoyable, but I'm also...
Three things that make life easy in a dry darkroom are; a bucket to carry water, a print washer for negs and prints set up somewhere convenient like the bath tub and a good sized dish warmer to...
