Hello,
I am currently working with what I regard as a great camera, a Sinar F1. While it was not my immediate first choice, it a was a sound choice I feel in the end. I love the F1 for it is...
hey diane,
i picked a odd way to get inot infrared..via lf. you'd think i should've start with 35mm or even 120. but seeing as as i don't have mf camera..i guess kinda goes out the window a lil...
sad to hear that...what i really wish is that someone would publish a book for infrared, specifically for large format cameras...i mean the 35mm books are nice, but don't cover shift and swings,as...
hey diane,
really like that shot!! makes me think of time i lived in oklahoma...has really beautiful winters. there was this tree (very similar to this one!!) by a small pond and it really...
sorry........here is more info on my lil dilema (haha)
820 maco aura 4x5 b/w infrared, r72 filter and i live in washington state, keep that in mind....as it is a 50-50 crap shot on the...
i have a 4x5 monorail camera and am planning to use infrared for first time. my questions are:
1. is 50- 100 rated iso normal?
2. how many stops do you have to open up to compensate for the...
update:
Have ordered some IR film and will be here late this week or early next week, Macophot 820c. I also got Laurie White's book on infrared...its the advanced one, but its the only...
back again,
i am thinking of doin the series in balck and white to a 4x5 format exclusively with either a red or yellow filter and maybe even try one or two in infrared with a opague filter....
hello again,
i only use velvia when i go up to rainier here in washington. any other time i usually use black and white or any simple plain color film(35mm based that is). as far as shooting...
hello,
have recently gotten a 4x5 large format camera and am thinking of getting back into photographing lighthouses here and around the northwest. i own a sinar f1 with 2 lenses(nikkor 135w mm...
am back...if anyone is interested to go out and really shoot i will gladly say hell yeah and pack my baby in my car with a sack lunch and drinks (sorry don't drink beer or anything like that...have...
hello everyone,
sorry haven't replied yet...was on vacation, went back home to texas to see family and no did not get chance to shoot anything. if i went 2 months earlier, could've caught the...
Hello!
Am from the outer city limits of Tacoma,Washington and was wondering if there are any 4x5 users here? I have a 2nd hand 4x5 Sinar F1 with a Nikkor 135 W 4.5 lens. most of what my interest...
I don't think I am thinking about these issues with the same level of intensity as others. my comment regarding the new packaging is merely to lighten the mood. after developing thousands of rolls...
> You have previously gone on record as stating that since you are a lab technician for other photographers
lab technician? I am just a flunky electronics engineer who made enough money in...
there is a forty page technical publication on the 'New' TMax films and you gotta admit the new box styling is a welcomed change. I sometimes think the processing times come from Kodak's cafeteria...
god forbid, that Ilford updates its product, makes adjustments, and attempts to further optimize its process and strive to improve profitability. and then have the nerve to inform us of any...
get real. Kodak changes its production facilities, ostensibly improves the process, improves the materials, and hopefully improves our chances for optimized results, and you wouldn't expect some ...
Todd Frederick is in the photo.net community directory for details.
As I mentioned, I love the photography in B&W and have every issue. On the front cover of every issue are the words 'Black and White Magazine For Collectors of Fine Photography'. Open the magazine...
the thrust behind the magazine and the editorial is money, not photography. sorry to be cynical here, but the incentive appears to be return-on-investment, and art appreciation secondary.
> is clearly a class below the Polaroid in terms of resolution
it isn't clear at all. understand the Dmax of your media and scan theory. scanning 6x6 using the Epson 2450 and printing less that ...
Black and White Magazine is a wonderful publication. Consider its audience though. Collectors and Galleries. The archival argument probably falls flat these days with the new materials and testing,...
> So sorry, your argument does not convice me Daniel.
uh ... don't drop that negative Jorge. I wasn't arguing either way. I could care less about these silly comparisons. and like I said, ...
> I said, "They're very nice, but they look REALLY digital to me."
yep, really digital. where's the grain? where's the scratches? where's the fingerprints? where's the uneven processing? where's...
I have had two dealings with the folks at View Camera. ordering back- issues was a most exasperating experience. after a month, and repeated phone calls, I was assured they were in the mail. after...
perhaps this is dated news, but Photoshop 6.0.1 has some problems that are addressed on the Adobe customer support website. I had to uninstall this version on my PC, and afterwards received notice...
John Paul Caponigro and Abigail Foerstner are two of the best photography writers and interviewers. please retain their services and contributions. why we do what we do is as important as how we do...
I read 'View Camera Magazine' in thirty mintues. rarely find value. I read 'Camera Arts' for days, constantly returning to relevant articles.
you'd never know they were related publishings.

spot metering has nothing to do with real-world readings or ...
personally, I am quite surprised to find a yellow flower reflecting less light than a grey card. incident and reflected metering are very simple concepts. in this example, as in all reflected...
TMY in Rodinal == bummer
grain bloating clogged my scanner
or is that a walk through Flexbody park? HP marketing has been real responsive about sending Linhof literature, and a call to Arca Swiss in Chicago (I think) yielded a nice package of information....
for tilt movements, very limited shift, fast setup, and integration into an entire system, the Hasselblad Flexbody is perfect. what slows me down with 4x5, is setup time, loupe focusing, dark...
there seems to be a common thread running though many aspects of photography. one of discovery, or lack thereof. how many times do I read of someone purchasing a very expensive camera, only to...
the obvious solution is to move the computer with Photoshop and Epson printer into the darkroom. pour a few trays of Dektol and fixer, ignite the safety light, turn on a faucet, add a fan and the...
I used to simply pour chemistry into my Jobo Expert 3010 then tip and rotate, till I saw evidence of uneven developing. I had always wondered about how critical this was but without any glaring...
> I have synch cables, which work great for the first pop, but I have to unhook them for subsequent pops (on the same exposure).
Jennifer,
I am getting into this discussion late in the game,...
good point sid. of course, if you own several lenses and require center filter for all of them, it quickly adds up. I work almost exclusively with B&W and use a $400 Epson 1640 to scan my 6x6 and...
