I particularly like the two bullet points under the STORY HIGHLIGHTS to the left of the story:
--Photographers are starting to pull back from relying on manipulation as the end-all
--A new trend...
Having worked for a newspaper for over 25 years--and still very active-- projects is a daily question. Even concerning large format. As the others have said, you think about what excites you and what...
Very nice images and good pr for the book. (My favorite slide is still "skip this ad.")
Of course, now you have to give a critique of the machine, but only since I'm considering buying one.
Thanks in advance.
steve, those are lovely images.
patrickjames, I think that means your essay is on Polaroid conversions. And well done at that.
Speed, I should have made clear my comments were not a reaction to what you wrote. And yes, your comments do affirm my thoughts.
i've been shooting photojournalism for 35 years, in both incantations, and I'm a bit surprised to read the moaning and groaning on this subject from large format photographers. Never, EVER, has...
I don't know if this makes it a fact, but I did find this with a google search:

Nice images posted in a BBC video of Britain's flying photographers. One of the early images shows a photo of the planes and cameras used.

You shouldn't need to check once you have it set. The great thing about plastic is it won't transmit temperature very well, so the temperature stays the same for me throughout. I only need to check...
I process my 4x5 sheets in 5x7 trays lined up in the bathtub. I find the plastic trays keep the temperature constant throughout the whole process. It is a simple way of developing once you locate a...
Michael and David, thanks. I also posted these on the photo essay thread because they're part of a long-term project I have going on water quality in my region. It seems I'm using the big camera for...
Frank, thanks for the advice I'm working in two areas these days: Cliffs and water, so no problem with people moving.
Heroique and Jonathan, I'm up for all of that, although I do have a bit of...
I've come across three sheets of 4x5 Type 55 that are probably not too outdated. Just three. What I'd like to do is shoot for the neg. I'm open to any and all ideas on what to do with just three. ...

I make one long trip a year that entails flying there, and then driving back. I order film and have it shipped there and this year I'll take 10 of the 23 4x5 holders I have. I load and reload with a...
Will there be a gallery of pictures from this gathering?
I'm doing the same research. Search those together and you get a ton of info.
Twenty three years as chief photographer at a small daily. Now, I'm freelancing and just worked my 27th Kentucky Derby. I've just returned from a three-day gig in Louisville shooting the state track...
I use Minor White's method: Listen to music; read poetry; think deep thoughts about light and shadow; think about someone you love; put Zone system at 7-9 levels instead of 12; and have a long...
I use the stop watch for long exposures. However, I just downloaded the Massive Development Chart for future use.
Give Lensfielders.com a call. Maybe they can do you a better deal.
I emailed a couple of times and then spoke today on the phone about film holders that were listed as incoming on the site. The emails and phone conversation were helpful and I've ordered 15, to...

I agree that something else is awry here. But to some of the questions:

Are they using left-over film?
Good to see a fellow Kentuckian (Adams) doing well way up north.
Even when I shoot color, I try to find a way to make it black and white. IN the early days of digital cameras for news work, we were taught how to take an image from the old AP NC2000e and convert it...
