This is one of my favorite types of old photos. I have dozens!

Check out the poor guy in the middle who dropped his dark slide, as well as the guy on the left with a death grip on the corner...

Corran, nice work with the football game. I've shot sports in LF before (track and field) and it's rare that I get a strong shot. Go ahead and start that 'sports' thread, you might find some more...

Luke, if you don't mind me asking, what was your lighting setup for the first one? All natural?

I get exactly the same thing when I shoot Efke 25 ORT. I've always put it down to dust on the film/scanner (I have a very makeshift setup, getting a clean scan is like chasing Bigfoot), but that...

Stitched from two 3x4 negatives, taken with an Anniversary Speed Graphic on Efke 25 Ortho film. If you spot out every pixel removing dust, is it the same picture...

Okay, I'll critique them, starting from the first and going down. I can come off as kind of harsh; please don't be offended.

1. (cemetery) I like the tree in this one, but I'm not sure if the...

Yeah, the glass was just a tiny bit too forward, and I shimmed it using toothpicks. The only measuring device I have is a ruler in 64ths of an inch, I think using a micrometer would drive me to...

Hi all,

I asked over at the Graflex.org forum and was able to solve the problem. Thanks for your help.

Thanks for all your help. Unfortunately (fortunately?) the ground glass is facing shiny side out. There is no fresnel on either. Here are some pictures of what's going on.

Yeah, I was using the ground glass. What is the procedure for installing a new back? All I did was remove the four screws above and below the glass panel. I found this on APUG: "Yes, the back will...

Hi everybody,

I have a 3x4 Anniversary Speed Graphic. It came with the original Graphic back. I bought a Graflok back from a member of this forum and installed it. There begins my trouble....

Hiked up to the local state park with the Speed Graphic (I lack funds for a lighter backpacking camera, woe is me).

Generally I'm not a huge fan of palladium prints, but Zaitz, yours really speaks to me. Excellent job.

I took my 3x4 Anniversary Speed out, loaded with Efke PL 25 orthochromatic film. I'm fairly pleased with these three, although I haven't quite gotten the hang of tray developing large batches.

Nikola, I like your moxie. I too am 16 and I'm building a 4x5 camera. I wish I had your skill and dedication. At the moment it's six or seven pieces of wood, not quite square, patiently awaiting a...

I didn't look through all sixty pages, but I have a feeling I'm the youngest here at 16.

Hah! That's exactly what I'd have done! Nobody ever calls out the riot squad here in boring old Northern California though...

Kinda missed the focus, but you can't really tell when it's this small.

At the end of a senior portrait session (he's a friend of mine, I wasn't screwing around on the job) I pulled out the Graflex.

Man, that's incredible! I had no idea Liquid Light could do so well. I've screwed around with it before, on paper negatives, but I never got results like this. Very well done. How long and with what...

I use Photography Assistant for my Droid. Works great, and has an exposure calculator too.

Ken, that third one in your last post is absolutely fantastic. Excellent work.

I just ordered a 4x5 Speed Graphic from Ebay. Guess what came? A 3x4 Speed Graphic. Attempts to explain the difference to the seller fell on deaf ears. I'm keeping it though, especially after I...

A while back I bought a real beater of a Kodak 3A, for $20. Fast forward a few months and I see a pretty Century Graphic on a friend's mantle. He wasn't using it, so I offered a trade for my Kodak....

Stephane, I agree. I'm in high school (USA), and our track pictures this year were taken by some lady with her Canon Rebel and a $15 Best Buy tripod.

I distinctly remember the guy with the RZ67...
