Welcome neighbor.
Lots of thunderstorms in northern NM and southern CO for the next couple of days. If you can dodge them, the clouds should be spectacular.
One of my favorite places when I lived Ft. Myers. Spent a few weekends in a tent there.
Welcome from another ABQer, I'm with NMED GWQB so deal with you hydrogeologist all the time (and my wife is/was a geologist).
Check out this: http://clydebutcher.com/about-the-artist/technical-information/. I've seen Clyde's old darkroom in person; that big enlarger is something to see.
I preferred a 135mm over the 150; slightly wide normal lenses. Maybe a 90mm, 135mm and a 210mm to go with what you have.
Spring time the winds start blowing and blowing and blowing. We can get 15 to 50 mph winds throughout April and May, strong enough to blow a 4x5 over. And the wind stirs up dust that clogs up the...
Fisheating Creek, the only free flowing stream in Lake Okeechobee. For ideas, look at Clyde Butcher's website: clydebutcher.com. I miss living in that area.
Only +15 mph wind; that's only a light breeze. Saturday, Sunday, Monday and into Tuesday the wind was blowing 30-40 with 50-60 mph gusts here in Albuquerque. I guess that's why so many...
Good luck tomorrow. Wind gusts are only supposed to hit 55-60mph Saturday, a little higher on Sunday. So much for my golf game.
Hope the weather has blown through your area. Here in ABQ this morning, the wind was howling with a little rain over night.
Glad to see you're still using the WF Ektar. Walked into Curt's...
Should of had breakfast at the Frontier. Flying Star right across the street from Curt's. 16 years ago I worked at Curt's. Some guy from Texas came in, bought a 190mm Wide Field Ektar, a couple of...
"Large Format Nature Photography" by Jack Dykinga. Gives you all the basics in a nice easy format to read.
When backing up to get that perfect perspective, make sure you know what's around you.

When I looked down, this guy was about...
I like my Polaris. Does ambient, flash and multiple flash. Runs on a AA battery.
Could you consider an iPad as large format? It is much larger than an iPhone.
Try and find a copy of Barry Thornton's ' Edge of Darkness'. I found it a fun book to read with a tremendous amount of info on taking, developing and printing B&W. You can look at his old website...
Really depends on what and where you're shooting; I've shot in SW FL and here in NM. For me, I could leave my 65mm on all day; a 75mm might have been better. When I shoot 35mm, I love my 24mm; on...
Actually the fire is not as bad as it sounds. It's a low to moderate intensity fire with minimal crowning. That is, it's burning along the ground, taking out the under brush and not really damaging...

Wonder where he gets his film.
I have some JOBO reels that are too large for the 1500 series tanks and too small for the 2500 series tanks. I got them in a box of JOBO stuff, never figured out what they went to. Measure the...
If you're talking about the wires that keep the dark slides from slipping out, they have screw threads on the bottom. Just screw them clockwise back into the holder a turn at a time until they are...
I have the Flashpoint 1228. Bought it to use with a Tachihara 4x5. Now use it with a Mamiya RZ67, along with Nikon 35mm. I love it. Light weight. The leg locks work easily. Three position legs,...
You're limited by how far down the head goes. With my DII, I've raised the easel by placing books under it to print as small as 2x3 on one occassion. You can also just use your 80mm lens, nothing...
Right now in Albuquerque, it's sunny, with little to no wind and ZERO DEGREES F. The hight today is supposed to be around 20 F. West of ABQ it's usually 10-20 degrees colder. Nothing is going to...
If you're headed to Flagstaff, good luck. It started snowing here in Albuquerque last night, still snowing but only a couple of inches so far. But then again, ABQ doesn't get anywhere as much snow...
Probably one of the old Kodak folders such as the 3A or similar (I have a couple of 1A Autographic that's close to that size). Probably 116 or 122 format. I think this is what they called the 'post...
The 135mm lens uses the shorter cone, 2 1/2" I think. The longer cone, 4 1/4" or something like that is for the 150mm lens. A 50mm-105mm uses the flat board. In addition to the different cones,...
I've used the Combi Plan tanks for developing. Some people like them, some hate them. I ended up with 3 outfits that I used as a modified dip and dunk line and it worked great. Fill all three...
Actually, I have a Tachihara with 150mm (plus other lenses) that I plan to put up for sale beginning next month (I'm on vacation until then). Definitely will be in your price range. The Tachihara...
Check out this site: http://www.camerafilters.com/default.aspx . Hopefully you can find a step-up adapter to a common size.
In every state I've ever lived in, it's always have been illegal to stop on an interstate except for emergency purposes. The danger comes from trying to reenter the traffic stream. How often this...
Since I have 65mm thru 240mm covered, I would like something in the 300 to 400mmT range for my Tachihara. Trouble is, I shoot mostly the 65mm or 90mm but I'm thinking a long tele would be nice.
The Pressman also has a rotating back, the Graphics don't. That alone was enough for me to but one originally. I've since moved up to a true field camera, Tachihara.
However, the Pressman...
I, too, am no expert but I would go with the JOBO drums over anything else you have. I had the 2521 tank but never got around to trying it. Inversion should work just fine with it. I sold the 2521...
Or you could use Rodinal 1:200 for 1 hour. Agitate the first 30 sec and then come back in an hour and finish it up. This seems to work with almost any film.
I shoot almost exclusively landscapes with my 4x5. My lenses are: 65mm f8 Ilex Acugon, 90mm f6.8 Caltar II-N, in the mail headed to me a 127mm f4.7 Rodenstock Ysarex (to fill this gap), 150mm f5.6...
Do you realize the word 'Doh' was added to the Oxford Dictionary in 2001.
Long Live Homer!!!

Yup, most state employees that work in Santa Fe can't afford to live in SF. I made the 120 mile round trip from ABQ to SF everyday for 3 years, than twice a week for 2 years and then finally...
In my experiance, only the 120 gives blue tinted negatives. The 35mm and 4x5 I've used gives normal negatives without the blue cast.
You should try a staining developer like DiXactol with the...
