    Re: Solar eclipse on August 21 - photography ideas?

    And since this seems to the Eclipse Discussion Thread, I'd sure like some advice on exposure for the "totality" using some HP5+ on a 4x5 camera. Anyone?

    My plans are to set up a Nikon D300 using...

    Re: How to clean the plate on seal press

    I have a Seal press too and I don't think the platen is aluminum, but more likely an iron casting or something like that. It's awfully heavy and it doesn't seem like aluminum would be the most...
