Memory tells me the Explorer is a Horizontal format (landscape) only, to conserve on weight
I have read where Pot Carb. substituted for Sod. Carb will increase the warmth of the print, I did not find that to be true. Further, more Pot Carb is needed to achieve the same paper speed. As had...
Hi again, I really do appreciate all the suggestions, I get this error messages since I purchased the new IMac M-1. Someone suggested I needed to get an OEM cable, I did, direct THunderbolt to...
Thanks very much Bill, I believe the Hamrick option carries a monthly fee, I only scan for social media use, never make D prints so the fee aspect is a no go. Appreciate your feedback, SS
Thanks very much I will look into these options. Have no interest in the Hamrick option as that carries a monthly fee.
Nice to catch-up Sandy King, I too have the V 700. Since upgrading to a new I Mac 24" M Chip model I am not able to access the V-700 with any thing I have tried or learned from the internet. Any...
Hi Jim, Really well done videos, each of them. Hoping to put a date together with a friend and get down to the Gallery 270 Best wishes, SS
The attached photo illustrates two dramatically different negative exposures, shadow densities, (Red arrows) development schemes yielding almost identical high-light densities (Blue arrows) which...
It basically comes down to being responsible and respectful of the hazards of the Droom and all that comes with it. The benefits of a Pyro developer far out distance what all the naysayers might...
Excellent, make photographs !!!
A longer initial agitation for sure, the added density that results can easily be compensated for later in dev. stage after uniformity has been established. Also, with the EMA process, I have found...

Uneven development is almost always agitation related, particularly the beginning agitation, it should be vigorous. I use PyroCat HD in the highest risk type of film development known, as you know. ...
Clearly there are many ways to achieve an end result. What so few of us seem to understand, indeed, myself being raised on the Adams Zone System of exposure and "Developing contrast into the...
Absolutely FALSE...and is the main reason I don't frequent these forms any longer, lots or photographers who like to type. I just coached another photog thru the exact opposite circumstances, yet...

Memory tells me I reached out to Richard Ritter about calibrating the older Pentax analog V5 meter. I believe he indicated there was an adjustment screw in the front above the trigger which allowed...
Seems pretty straightforward, if you are a dedicated film user without jumping around with different films and are committed to Ilford because they are committed to our community unlike the great...
I do a lot of long exposure photography, in the early days using McSavveny's unusual sequence of developing with HC 110. Today, the HC 110 is a poor developer for that type of extended time in...
Never used the Stearman tank, but have done a significant amount of Pyro processing using unconventional processing techniques. This much is certain, initial agitation should be consistent and...
The C part of the formula is usually Potassium Carbonate, or accelerator will add about 25 ml to the volume of the mixed solution. The reason the PDF indicates a slight loss of film speed is due to...
AN N 95 mask should suffice when mixing any type of dry powder Pyro, be it, PyroGallol or PyroCatechin. Once Pyro powders are in solution they are no more toxic than ordinary Darkroom chemicals. ...
Apologies on not seeing this until today, I would use the exact EMA technique no matter what the original scene contrast may call for. Very simply, if the original scene contrast doesn't require as...
Hello David,
Thanks for responding and for the shoutout on insight. Actually, only 4-5 years into playing with sheet film back in the mid '80s I realized that the graded papers of the times...
It's an evolutionary thing, where you choose or decide to sit on that curve is a personal choice, so long as analog materials survive. Nothing surprises me in this discussion, let's not lose sight...
The image is the artwork, last name in #6 pencil and nothing else on the front side. Info and print date on the reverse.
This is more a matter of composition skills than image aspect ratio than aspect ratio alone. Second aspect to this, does the fixed aspect ratio become the image driving factor or the the image goals...
Rarely do I ever hear of the format / perspective preference. I'm all about sq. in. of film, first and almost foremost, what trumps that is format for me. 90% of what I shoot is horizontal, I...
So sorry to hear this news, had corresponded with him several times. He was a dedicated LF fan, RIP Sir !!
I'm strictly a large film guy. I use your app religiously, maybe the only technology I use but it is a terrific tool, and endorse the app in my own YouTube videos. I'm always struck by no matter...
I personally only support those who support our tiny community, so the great Yellow Father doesn't exist in my world. Of course film is going to rise in price given the shutdown in '20. I'm just...
Kinda funny, the website I was on just before coming to the LF site was about planning a White Rim trip see this link https://www.earthtrekkers.com/white-rim-road-guide/#overview Enjoy, sure to...
I always thought of you as an above average and accomplished wet process photographer. Why would you for a second, consider changing your routine that has obviously produced successful results over...
While I haven't done tray processing in years, in the years that I did, my goal was to always handle the film as little as humanly possible, thus turning the tray rather than the stack of film. ...
Rather than turning the stack of film 90 or 180 degrees, turn the tray and leave the film in its position and simply agitate the same way followed after turning the tray, less chance of damage. ...
Uneven development is almost always due to developer strength is too weak, in conjunction with infrequent agitation (that's the biggest culprit). Lastly, the first initial agitation needs to be...
Appreciate the shoutout Greg, this online article I wrote for UnblinkingEye is much more up to date on how I manage the EMA technique of film processing ...
I've had a lot of experience with various forms of reduced agitation processing of sheet film, which is essentially what you are describing. Virtually all uneven development stems from too gentle,...
Thanks very much, I tried that option yesterday and again this morning after reading your suggestion.
I have been using an Epson V700 Perfection Photo scanner with no issues on an older Imac desktop. Purchased a new Imac with the M1 chip and went onto download the new drivers for the Epson 2 scanner...
