I use a folding golf bag cart. It even has a swinging can holder for a Dr. Pepper. :)

If you think lith film is slow, try lith film with a half tone screen in front of it. We had some slack time one night at the paper and messed around with shooting half tone portraits on the copy...

Yuck!

I did a project similar to yours. As urban sprawl crept closer to my area, I realized that some iconic businesses and other land marks were going to be swallowed up so I photographed them...

The one I have in mind was in the movie Easy Rider. It looked and sounded like it was in or near an industrial area. Maybe you can get a crane operater to give you a boost up. :p

When I lived in...

Overhead images of the above ground cemetaries. The larger ones would probably have to photographed from a nearby roof top.

I've always made the interneg at the final size and contact printed it. The loss in detail isn't as bad as enlarging the interneg. I've never gone larger than 8X10. If John wants to make 16X20...

TMAX 100, mainly because the developing time remains constant with different filters. No pulling a green filter or pushing a blue one. Very conveniant when doing color seperations. I've always used...

I would shoot with color slide film and make an internegative. You could even make partial exposures with different filters if necessary.

HDR. I've seen soooo many boring images that are nothing more than an excuse to use the technique. That's not to say that there aren't some tastfully done pictures that couldn't have been done any...

For sure.

Another quality of Kodachrome is its life span. I have Kodachromes that my father shot in the early '60s. They look like they were shot yesterday while all of his Ektachromes are fading...

You have to use RC paper as the fiber in fiber paper messes with the image when you make the print. You also can't use papers like Kodak that print their name on the back. Try ISO 6 and processing is...

1) When I did direct screen seperations from slides in an enlarger for process printing, I used the 25/47B/58 filters. These broader cut filters were used because the overlap of colors allowed for...

There are times when modifying a hard news photo may be unavoidable. Adding to the image doesn't qualify.

I work in the prepress department of a county newspaper. Once, some X rated graffiti in a...

I hope my answer isn't an oversimplification. I looked at it from the outside and don't know what's involved once the case is cracked open.

The viewerfinder is on top.

I've seen them in approx. 8X10 size. They can be found in office supply stores along with the magnifying glasses.

How about a stupid incident? I'll give you stupid!!!

My other bank breaking hobby is high end airguns. One day I was alone in the house, adjusting the trigger pull on my highest powered ...

If you go the route of velcro for attaching the dark cloth, use small pieces and put the hook side on the camera. The hooks will fill with lint if attached to the cloth and quit sticking. Be gentle...

Bill,

A multi bulb (tungsten) light box could be mounted above the neg stage with a remotely mounted (to eliminate vibration) exhaust fan to provide cooling. Light trap vents would introduce...

Bill,

The smaller vertical cameras use a flourescent bulb light box for transmission reproductions. Larger verticals and most horizontal cameras have a transluscent copyboard and the lamps pivot...

"local resevoir" should have said "your own septic system". If your sewage is just pumped back into the water supply resevoir, I wouldn't worry about some photo chemicals. :-(

How much are you disposing of? What are your local ordinances for hazardous waste disposal? Where does it eventually end up ( local resevoir, large river system, an ocean)? Does it go through a ...

OK, I'm awake now and want to ammend my posting on photographing the dirt bikers. I should have prefaced it with:

Like everyone else, I shoot static subjects of whatever grabs my attention at...

Something I would LIKE to photograph is a couple of kids who ride their dirt bikes behind my job-site. I'm itching to try to set up some shots of them catching air and freezing them with strobes....

The D750 dimmer has arrived and this is a follow up report.

Not only does it work as advertised, but has an unexpected benefit- the lamp has virtually no warm up period when I start an exposure! ...

Thanx. After pricing a filter holder and a couple of ND filters, there was no price difference to speak of and in the case of Kodak filters, the dimmer is actually cheaper (surprise).

I never thought I would see the day that my enlarger lamp would be too bright, b ut my Zone VI cold light is even with both supplemental diffusers under it , for cing me to stop down the lens into...
