My favorite female photographer (how can I limit it to one?) would be Sally Mann.
Wynn Bullock
Ansel Adams
Jack Dykinga
Sally Mann
Judy Dater
Emmet Gowin
Joel Peter Witkin
W. Eugene Smith
Dorothea Lange
Jock Sturges
A lot of trannies wear the wrong kind of makeup, causing off color results. Seriously, on this end there are no problems with Velvia 50 or 100 regarding accurate color for that type film.
A Kodak rep told me once that he used to shoot Kodachrome in 8x10 and 5x7 and that it came in larger sizes than that, before they slit it and packaged in in more common sizes. I do know Arizona...
Hey Steve, that is the best slogan I have heard in recent years.
Digital has a place...as a test for real photography! Wow!
Really nice work. Congrats.
I have a similar one with the tilting bed covered in red velvet. I have all the backs for it and have shot 8x10 and 5x7 in the studio. Even with old Wollensak lenses in Betax shutters, I made some...
Here we go again. Why can't there be a "digitial large format forum" for those who want to swing that way? The piano comparison is a good one. Much as I love electronic music, and that is what I...
Don Nelson, golly gee, lighten up a little will you? 99% of the large formatters here understand exactly what was asked. That being said, I am now going to make a few audio cd dupes for the...
Are you sure that is the problem? If you use glass neg carriers, you could be getting a reflection of sorts that only occurs at certain magnifications that looks alot like the problem you are...
Were you in to making really big, quality enlargements? If not, who cares which way you go? It will not matter. If you were into fine art big enlargements you will regret going digitial,...
"I are one."
Actually, we all know an artist when we see one, no matter the trade.
What is amazing are the people who buy a digitial camera and suddenly become
"Wedding Photographer",...
I never save photo-flo more than a day after mixing up fresh solution. The good news is Kodak is making it more readily available than it has been in recent time. It about disappeared off the...
Let me know when the book comes out...I will stand in line to get one!
Great photos, Frank! Inspirational.....what more can be said....makes one want to get creative!
Use a high quality commercially made focusing negative to make sure everything is in alignment when you get it all set up. You may need someone else to adjust the focus for you while you are down on...
I am in Missouri and have not seen my copy yet. This is July for God's sake!!!!!!
In almost all the states except that Bastard Illinois, but expecially in the Southeast and Midwest and parts West, all the photographers I know are packing guns. Once, back in some real boonies and...
Kodak sucks! Does Kodak care about photography? HELL NO! Let Kodak die as fast as they are killing off their products. I never recommend Kodak film (except Kodachrome) and definitely NO to any...
It is really difficult to beat a 3x or so heavy black t-shirt. The neck fits around my view camera very well and stays put. Not too hot compared to some commercial darkcloths. And to top it off,...
Read all the horror stories and the out of court settlement Paypal made at Paypalsucks.com or Google it.
Another reason to switch: Ilford seems to care about film, Kodak does not care. Or if they do care, they sure have a long way to go to prove it.
Unless it is a really old unit, try to get the price down a bit, but consider yourself lucky if it has some great high quality lenses with it. For a lifetime purchase, what is 400 dollars? Most of...
Nothing is too harsh to say about Kodak. Any lip service they are giving to the photo community will go poof as soon as the digiheads that run it now think it has run its course. I really hated to...
I have never been able to tell any difference in how I loaded the hangers. As long as your agitation actions are consistent, per Kodak instructions for sheet film processing, you should not see any...
I am not positive without testing, but I do not think messing around with the ground glass is going to cause results that far off. There are 5 Wista's around here that I know of and none of them...
Kim's work turns me on, Cole's work I appreciate....is that what you wanted to hear?
It is recommended you study the style of William Headrick, who photographs for Double Gun Journal, Shooting Sportsman, Pointing Dog Journal, Precision Shooter, etc.
I will take pride in teaching him...
Giving up photofinishing signals Kodak's intentions. The only Kodak film left on my shelves is going into the bargain box first thing Monday morning. %#&@ Kodak!!!!
The once-mighty Kodak announced the closing of their photofinishing subsidiary, Qualex, and the three remaining photofinishing operations that provided service to the United States. George Eastman...
I could help not chiming in on this one. Rants in the past pretty well clarify my position, if anyone can remember. I keep reading in trade publications about "big time-big money" wedding, food,...
It is simple to refuse to ship internationally. In almost every case the buyer will make arrangements for a U.S. delivery to someone who evidently charges to take the item to China, or whereever the...
A number of big time commercial photogs have ditched digitial and gone back to film, especially large format. Believe it or not, it was a question of financial survival. Before digitial they were...
A great photo...and yes it meets the criteria for a really great photo by having two or more other photos in one, which makes the whole quite pleasing. Good job. Wish I had shot it.
Just send me all the Toyo holders you do not like! Especially needed are 8x10 Toyo holders. Seriously, I was able to test many types and I will take the Toyo holders over anything made. All the...
Cleaning tanks with stopbath will sometimes do the trick, but regular Kodak or Edwal tank and tray cleaner will work better.
More and more pros are going back to film, in some cases to survive. Digitial is trying to achieve all the goals film achieved many years ago.
Not being a sports photographer in need of speed, the only thing I use digitial for is Ebay. Trade publications are full of stories of big time photogs who gave up digitial and went back to Velvia...
As someone who deals with it everyday, the digiheads are shooting 3000 photos, standing at Walmart for hours trying to decide what to save and/or print. They can't tell in the field what is good or...
