Dear All
I will be giving a talk about my work at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland this Saturday 24th March at 2pm. All welcome.
My series Ultima Thule (a series of 8x10 photographs made in Iceland)...
Thanks Jonathan!
Hope you enjoy it.

Dear All
An exhibition of my photographs from the Ultima Thule series opens tonight (March 1st) at Blue Sky Gallery in Portland, Oregon.
The exhibition is showing from March 1 – April 1
I hope...
Could anyone recommend any professional film suppliers (Quickload colour neg) and processing labs in Japan? I'd prefer to buy and process films there, if possible, rather than having to carry a...
Thanks Domenico!
Dear All
Just to let you know that an exhibition of my series Ultima Thule is opening next Tuesday evening, 12th February, at Impressions Gallery, Bradford, UK. The show runs until April 13th. It...
Hi Sean - I work in the rain quite a lot. I use a small cloth (dishcloth/chamois) which I drape over the top of the lens to stop water getting into the shutter, a lens hood to stop drops falling on...
Thanks John - there are 90 sheets, so no opportunity for doubling up exposures - too expensive to do that with so many images and not possible to carry so much film/darkslides. I have used a box of...
I recently had a large number of 8x10 Portra 160NC sheets processed at a commercial lab. Most of the sheets suffered from vertical streaking and uneven densities, particularly in areas of blue sky or...
Hello Ron - Protech repairs are excellent. They're south of London in Uckfield, East Sussex. You can discuss each job directly with the technician who does the repair, rather than going via another...
Hi Everyone. Although the Fuji 240-A f9 lens has been talked about before on this forum, I am specifically interested in replies from those who have knowledge or experience of this lens on 8x10...

Only a few copies remaining, I think.
Best wishes,
Wanted to let everyone know that my exhibition 'Opened Landscape: Lindow, Tollund, Grauballe' opens at Photofusion Gallery, London, today (www.photofusion.org). It will be showing until January 15th...
Hi Tim, Many of Elger Esser's 'Landscapes and Vedutas' and his images from 'Etretat – Cap d'Antifer' were made, I think, in very low light before sunrise/after sunset at the time when our perception...
Thanks Frank - at the moment the 240 lens is in a Copal Press shutter and the 210 is in a standard Copal shutter. When I compare the apertures between the two it seems the 240 is at least a 1/2 stop...
I have a 210 G Claron in a Copal 1 shutter. I also have a 240 G Claron which I would like to mount in the same shutter. If I do this can I use the same aperture scale? i.e. do the apertures...
Hi Tim, Jim Cooke is a British photographer. His book 'Re-placing Arcadia' is an amazing body of work. I saw his exhibition at Zelda Cheatle's gallery a while ago and bought the book yesterday. Shot...
Hi Lisa, have a look at british photographer Jem Southam (books include 'Red River'/'Raft of Carrots'/and most recently 'Rockfalls, Rivermouths and Ponds'. The work is 10x8 colour. Prints are...
I use a Gandolfi Traditional 10x8 which I bought second hand about a year ago (moving up from 5x4).
It is a wonderful camera. I use it for landscape photography - personal work - and it already...
Does anyone have any experience using Fuji NPS160 for exposures longer than the recommended maximum 2 seconds?
If so, what are the reciprocity effects and how do you compensate?
Thanks again!
I work on 10x8 and carry approximately 50lbs/25kg of equipment including body, lens, 5 x 10x8 and 5 x 5x4 darkslides, reducing back, tripod, rucksack and case.
Does this seem excessive weight?...
Thanks David - that confirms the way I have been working so far. There seems to be a good deal of latitude with the highlights so long as you expose for shadow detail. I think Enrique was answering...
Does anybody have any advice regarding contrast control with colour neg?
Is it possible to alter tonal range with changes in exposure/development - and how does this affect colour balance?
...
An apology would be a sign that he too is able to think.
Suggesting, in bold capitals, that LF photographers do not THINK when making their work, and that he can provoke us to think, is both ...
So sorry to hear that you have suffered at the hands of "petty" thieves - it isn't petty when you are the victim! I have had my equipment stolen a number of times, and sympathise with how empty it ...
I am suffering from wind! NO, not that kind of wind - gale-force wind!
Any advice on how to cope? My darkcloth (and me) very nearly flew away.
Thanks and good wishes.........
Does anyone know where I can find Michael and Paula's website? It seems to have disappeared - wanted to re-read their guides for printing on Azo.......... Thanks...
Can anybody out there give me advice regarding a couple of lenses I've seen for sale? I haven't seen them yet but am told they are in good condition.....
They are, a '203 f7.7 Ektar/Prontor SVS'...
Does anyone have any experience with colour 10x8 negative (Fuji NPS)? I tried it out for the first time this week. When the negs came back from the lab I made my own contact prints and saw that a...
William......when you say plain fixer, not commercial fixer, could you give more detail please. I tried printing POP with limited success. The density of the blacks seemed to reduce during...
Hi Keith - I am also based in the UK. Don't have any information on particular websites but can definetely recommend that you go to the specialist photography bookshops in London - Zwemmers is the...
For me, a body of work would remain incomplete without sequencing. One would hope that individual images work alone. However, a sequence of images can convey a great deal more. The balance and...
It is quite difficult for me to get access to a dry mounting press. Can you reccommend any clever DIY ways to dry mount prints? I've heard that a clothes iron can work.....is this true? As in...
I would welcome your comments on archival printing. What techniques do you use? Processing sequence/times etc. Particularly the sequence of fix/hypo clear/wash/tone/wash.......... Thank
"Try again, fail again. Fail better."..........
Thanks for the responses! The tank is a kodak 13.5 litre (I think), the sheets sit about 3/4" below the surface. I processed in ID-11 stock solution, eight sheets at a time. The agitation method...
Grateful for any advice regarding deep tank processing of 10x8 sheets using Hewes tension sprung hangers and basket. The one time I tried it my negatives were streaked in the corners where the film...
