That is great, in a class with Kerik's Ice House Road in Fog image (which is one of my favorite pt/pd prints ever).
Thanks Mark. I appreciated this.
yeah, sorry brain fart on my part. Was thinking negative when looking at images.
Can you set up a mock setup and actually run through a few cases at different heights to see what you might prefer? Only constraint that I can think of is if you have some existing plumbing that...
White marks sure look like hair/fuzz to me at time of negative exposure. Not sure about the others if they're also on the negative.
Here's one that can't be made on 35mm or digital, because it's on private land and only I know where this is at and I only took this picture with using LF.
And also the discarded horse-drawn...
Bill_1856 brings up the only thing I can think of, and I'll generalize a bit more on his response, by stating that you can only make in-camera "originals" with LF. "Original" in this sense meaning a...
Hurry on the Fomalux, it appears to be going the way of Azo. Freestyle carried it in the US but I think the only size they have left is 16x20.
Wow, that would be fun to attend but not able to since I'm in Idaho. I spent a little bit of time around Missou, my dad actually graduated from their first forestry degree program back in the 40's...
Enjoyed the article and was glad to see Michael and Paula are still doing their thing, it's been a while since I've last touched base (like the last View Camera's Large Format conference LOL). I had...
No, a lot easier (more compact, lighter) to carry my spotmeter than my digital camera and long lens and I usually don't have both with me when I'm out and about.
drymount "tissue" is somewhat stiff, not like "tissue" at all really. I'm wondering if you actually have what's called release paper or tissue, used between the artwork and overlay mountboards when...
panty hose.
But what's "vintage character?"
Even if you rent, there's a lot of wall space to hang stuff. Why not prints? Sure beats dust.
My only "official" training into the world of Pictorialism (ok, I actually have no official training in anything photography LOL) is from Arthur Hammond's 1946 text on Pictorial Composition in...
Well it sure looks like the view from inside my old landcruiser when the windows are all fogged up with condensation. That photo-flo issue looks a lot different to me.
This is on a lens board? If so, is the lens board sacrificial-able? A Grimes tool should be adequate, and if you don't want to use PB Blaster, then sacrifice the lens board if appropriate. (What's...
Yeah, condensation given the scenario you describe. Keep your loaded film holders in your trunk (non-heated) if shooting in cold weather.
The only way to figure this out is to make as excruciatingly accurate lists as possible of what was the same when things (pictures) came out properly and when pictures didn't come out properly, then...
I suppose if this could actually be delineated/defined in a manner that could be copied/duplicated/replicated then we'd all be filthy rich and famous.
I'm glad it can't.
Paul - I do not know if a 4x10 exists. Some have used a dark slide cut in half to make a 4x10 of sorts.
I have a Tachihara 8x10 to 5x7 reducing back that I use on my Wista 8x10. I'm looking for a 4x5.
I have a 5x7 (not for sale) and am casually looking for a 4x5 which I know they made but are pretty rare for sale. (I actually use the Tachi reducing back on my Wista 8x10 Field, essentially the...
Hey Kevin - I think your last name is a great layman's term for micro-contrast.
LOL
"PB Base Price: $999,999.00"
I use a 410 with my wista 8x10 up to 450mm lens (Nikkor). No problems with movement at all. Even vertical, which is how I composed the attached image (but with a 300mm lens).

Kumar - does your friend have trouble with just the thumb (or maybe the index or middle fingers) when depressing a typical shutter release? Is he able to squeeze his hand somewhat such that the bulb...
Not sure what the issue is in the OP's post. Are you looking for one with the least amount of required pressure at the hand (for physiology issues), or the one that has the least amount of pressure...
Thomas - no, this one http://www.clearbags.com/13-7-16-x-16-1-4-crystal-clear-protective-341x413.html
You want the adhesive on the body of the bag, not the flap if you plan to reuse the bags...
I just purchased some 16x13 sealable sleaves (actually 16.25x13.44) but I'm not aware of any 16x13 boxes so I'd be in the same boat. 15x13 also allows for 6 boards per 32x40 board with a bit more...
I remember attending a Jack Boucher presentation a lot of years ago at a View Camera Conference about the required methods and procedures for documenting historic government buildings. It had to be...
Thanks DJ - All the reasons Michael and Paula use (or maybe used) the 13"x15" mounted print size are the same reasons I do/did (and their influence on my decision to go that size was quite...
Well, I need to add to my print storage capability, and nothing but frustration so far. A long time ago I standardized my contact printing on 13"x15" matboards (prints <= 8x10), and I'd like/prefer...
Where do you see the stock info on the duluth website? I was able to add one (the Great Lakes color which they say they have, other colors are custom made) to the cart but of course didn't complete...
I had a 16x20 Ilfocrhome print with me at an early View Camera conference (I think the first one in Albuquerque), so that's the only thing possibility from me. I can't recall fully but I might of...
And this Field Homestead is across the dirt road from the previous barn, unrelated homesteads 2003. House is just barely there today.

This barn is about a 1/4 mile from my house, Squaw Butte in background, 2003. The barn is still standing but much less today.

Thanks Marco. I'll use your tables as a starting point. I'm not out to make perfect color images so I can afford to experiment (that's what makes this all fun to me anyhow)!
