Well after 4 months in a 16th century barn, exposed to many pollutants including humans, the glass needed a good clean, covered in all sorts. I assume a print would be less easy to bring back. I have...

I have a solo 50 print exhibition in Pl/Pd at the Ashdown Gallery, Ashdown Forest Centre, Wych Cross, Forest Row, RH18 5JP
Entitled 'Weald' its an exhibition concentrating on this area of ancient...
What I didn't mention were that there were some of his very large scale silver prints from the migration and worker series in the Philips de Puy exhibition of platinum prints. These were of a...
Hi Bob, so much has to do with the presentation and lighting, that prints that are supposedly the same can look very different, I was on the other side of the world so might explain some differences...
Apologies - I thought it was published in the free section - let's see if this works
We’ve already discussed Sebastio Salgado’s Genesis exhibition, but this month also sees the release of 50...
I managed to compare the inkjets and platinum prints that were recently on display in London, and wrote this little article which maybe of interest

I've posted some images from the UK, is that ok?
I once found an article (since lost - I'll try the bookmarks on another computer) where a guy was scanning 4x5 on his 9000. If I remember correctly he was using the glass carrier, he could get the...
cheers jp, I admit to choosing this background in the woods to get an idea of how swirly it is, will experiment with it some more
My TLR has the same effect - though not as obvious, and an old...
The swirl is more than i expected, I'm not sure if that's a function of me taking it beyond it's expected coverage, or if there is anything I can do to tame it, it isn't cut for waterhouse stops (but...
JFS marked brass lens, which seems to make it 1850s from an internet search, a London dealer
6 inch lens, looks like f4, doublet up front and two at the rear with an air space, makes it a Petzval

thanks for the kind words all
To answer questions, it's an argyrotype. My first one! I've since made a better one with a more even spread. I'm using it as a cheaper way into Platinum. I thought...
I've got a family holiday to Orlando in April, but we are stopping for a week in Naples. I'll be sure to visit your gallery, we have nothing like that environment in the UK, and I'm all the more...
First attempt at alternate processes so excuse the poor sensitiser spread, I need some more practice

it is too expensive now, and you are right the images are too small to judge
The Spiders are legitimate, I got a 2010 nomination. Its usually jurored by some high end people and supported by Magnum in previous years. Like most of the competitions its a bit of pot luck, you...
Hey Ken, we replied at the same time. I've been a massive fan of your technique for years now and can heartily recommend it. Every image I've exhibited in the last 2 years has been done this way -...
Thanks Bob/Scott.
I have absolutely no intention of trying to pass off anything not platinum as platinum. That would be incredibly dishonest. It was more of a question of the 'law of diminishing...
After years of sending prints out, and years before that making my own darkroom prints I succumbed and got an Epson. Mainly with the intention of trying out Plat/Pall with digital contact negatives (...
@richard
you can scan 617 on the Nikon, I do on mine, and the result is better than the Epson - its a massive file at 4000dpi
you need to scan 3 6x9s and photomerge them, a bit of a faff, but if...
That argument assumes we have no collective responsibility for finite natural resources, and that our actions have no consequences. If we all had that attitude would the world be a better or worse...
WOW
I'm amazed by all of this, if it's more that ten miles from me, I let someone else photograph it. I'd have thought there would be a huge amount of photography to be done in Hawai?
/Hippy...
I've found that multi-exposure and increasing samples is a random affair. Sometimes you end up with an improved scan but more often than not, the Epson isn't accurate enough in it's positioning and...

I use Nikon 8000 for MF up to 6x17 and epson for 4x5
the Nikon is great, I cannot get Nik Scan to work with Lion so use Vuescan, which is terrible but works. I've found the best option is to have...
pretty sure Ozzy is from Birmingham - England!
Good luck with your beautiful work, I've never ever seen a carbon print other than once in the Musee D'Orseilles in Paris - not many people are practising this in the UK

I'm using the Fuji Hunt kit and am getting really good results, consistent, long latitude negs
I had to do a 40x50 from an V750. It was a black and white image (which somehow fairs better than C41 and esp E6). Normally past 24 inches I'd go for a drum scan, but that wasn't feasable in the...
I develop all my own C41 (and E6) - as you say it is easy
Wow, really nice stuff!
thanks for that QT - very interesting article
I've been in the LV gallery and the one in Noosa (Aus) - impressive places
I remember Lik from working in Cairns in the mid 1990s, he was selling...
On now, very very impressive!
I sell around 4 prints a month through my site, but only from people who have seen the real thing in local art shows/galleries/coffee houses/restaurants/foyers or whereever else I can pimp them. The...
I'm with Henry - you have to make a choice with C41 on colour. This can either be viewed as a PITA or as a great creative tool. Quick and dirty - use PS to choose the white and black points - that...
I love Portra 160 for Landscape, especially for soft light. I tend to rate it at 100 - but in reality there is little difference between that and box speed. The new Ektar and Portra has completely...
yes
having been through the V750, X1, Drum scan route - like many I epson-it, and then pony up on the good ones
