Thanks Michael.
Just want to add another point; The reproduction quality is really good.
And a question to Michael; Never seen an Azo print before, is the print tone (a slight colour tint) in the book...
Sorry, should read space and not place.
In studying Michael Smith's photographs in A Visual Journey, I see much of his w ork is about relationship. How elements co-exist with each other. Tones, texture s, patterns, lines & spaces seen in...
In this beautiful book, High Plains Farm, by Paula Chamlee, some of the interior shots, I believe, are arranged in small ways.
Michael, Yes, I actually meant arrangement in small ways like...
Thanks for all your response. Pascal, your reply helped me confirm which side of the fence I'm on. It clears things up a lot better and paths a new direction for my next photograph. I learn again....
Does it change the way viewers look at your work?
Wrong. Should read: Does it change the way viewers perceive the subject matters?
Thanks.
When is it consider unwelcome to arrange things that you are photographing? If y ou are a journalist photographer, it would probably be considered a sin to do so . If you are shooting documentary,...
I shoot film. My images will be around long after I'm gone (provided they still make photographic paper, but I can go back to alternative printing if they don't). I shoot digital. In one or two...
Sorry. "Gets into the business" and not "get the business".
Don't mind if I ask some questions because I never understood it. Hope it doesn't sidetrack too much from the original question.
Why can't the photographer get someone to make identical prints...
Hi Lukas,
Thanks again. I'll get to work soon. Hope it works out.
Aaron
Lukas,
Thanks for the many pointers. That is very educational. Really appreciate it.
Aaron
Again Lukas,
Would it be correct to assume that you tone your prints in good light since they're already fixed. Thus letting you better guess the tone shift you desire?
Also, how much of...
Hi Lukas,
That sounds good enough information to get me started. I'm relieved to hear that toning is not going to make the print blue. Thanks for a couple of good tips.
I've got negatives...
Thanks again, guys (and Sandy too). Aaron
Chad,
It is also said that salted prints has the look of Pt/Pl. Since salted print is a stable process, why would one make a Pt/Pl print that cost much more? Is it because it's easier to achieve...
Thanks again Chad, but what is meant by alignment of the planets.
Aaron
Thanks Pete & Chad for that long explaination. Out of curiosity and excitement, I've taken out the Silver Nitrate to look at during the day. Probably 10 minutes or so out of the box (not direct...
I'm messing around with my first Salt Paper Kit. So to those who's done that, pl ease help out these questions:-
a. The instruction says Silver Nitrate by itself isn't sentitive to light. Does it...
Matt,
I switched to 8x10 a short while ago. Didn't quite enjoy it. I'm back with 5x7 now. Still like it a lot better. I took the good advice from previous contributors to drop what I didn't...
Thanks Bill, for that tall stool idea. I could use that tip.
Seriously, anyone else with some thoughts? In the book, "Art & Fear" the authors wrote that hemmingway had his typewriter at elbow...
Hi,
Does it matter whether one stands or sits before his enlarger making prints? See ms like standing is more the usual way. Does it affect one's printing quality? D oes anyone know of any studies...
There seems to be quite a few websites but none offers detailed information about the photographer. I'll check out those books at the local library. Thanks again.
Does anyone know how many photographs Frederick Evans made of the cathedrals? Wh ere can one view a large collection of his work? Any book publication or good we bsite that's available? Thanks.
Thanks Michael. Appreciate it. Aaron
Hi Michael,
Any fogging on the printed image or just light leakage on the film edge? I happen to experience the same problem just now. Thanks,
Aaron
Thanks to all. I promise. No more questions on sharpness, DOF, etc. etc.. I have the answer.
Aaron
Nothing of that sort, James. Really. But I'll be guilty five years from now if I don't ask now. Aaron
Thanks for your contribution to the previous post. They have been most helpful.
So how much sharpness or depth of field is enough? I assume f64 means sharpness throughout the whole photograph....
There's an interesting issue pointed out in the book, "Art & Fear" and I'd like to bring it out to people here so as to help me find a deeper understanding to w hat I'm doing. Here it goes:-
"In...
I'd like to thank folks who recommended "Art & Fear". A book so true to someone taking an unusual route in artmaking. So much of it, so familiar to my own path. Thanks, Aaron
Now what do I read...
What about Azo? Thanks, Aaron
Thanks Jorge, Kevin. Any one to fill in the blanks for Azo and Gum?
Aaron
And POP too. Aaron
I'm trying to get an idea on the Density Range required in a negative for the va rious printing materials.
1. Gelatine Silver Paper = 1.4 - 0.3 = 1.1 (I think)
2. Azo contact printing paper: ?...
In the other thread, we discuss about sharpness and its pretty much agreed that sharpness duplicate reality. Thus, the reason for LF to record textures, details , etc.. That being the case, why not...
Thanks again for all your generous contributions. They'll be useful I'm sure. Aaron
Don't know, Jim. Consider this a learning phase for me. Aaron
