I have used this specific film in 8x10 from factory. I rate it around 100 ISO. It has an emulsion on BOTH SIDES, so there is no back or front. same results no matter which side faces the lens. Using...

The pinhole explanation does seem plausible, but the exposure between open shade and direct sunlight could explain how you could have reasonable exposure from both. The pinholes would need to be a...

Flag on the play. After 50+ years of candid and formal portraits, a portrait does not require the subject to be making eye contact with the photographer. Why do you think this is staged? Why do you...

If you can find them, I've used Jobo, and Unicolor print drums and motor bases for years with excellent results. I don't even pre-rinse. Just reduce standard time by 15%.

Raised a Roman Catholic, I didn't see "Crucifix" until I read the other comments. Closest I could think of was Dali's with with Gala as the crucified. I see a lovely image, a striking model, and the...

I've been following Liv's work lately; she is unique. Especially love how her freckles are exaggerated by the orthochromatic nature of the emulsion.

A lovely piece with an early 20th century feel. I have a very weak spot for this genre.

Victoria, I must agree with Leigh. This is a link to "The Oxford English Dictionary" https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/nude. No need to be so defensive. I'm hardly uncultured nor set in my...

Katlyn's expression reflect strength, not submission. Strong piece.

i can't resist a natural light piece. Lovely.

Shame we can't see the original print. Enjoy the simplicity as it focuses us on the subject.

Very lovely piece Maris. No need to apologize as far as I'm concerned.

Yes, though no one has ever asked. If I ask others to pose for me, I should avail myself to others.

This image is from the 80's, but I'm reviewing some of my older work. "Kel 1989" 8x10 TXP Pro, 12 in. Kodak Anastigmat f4.5, Kodak 2D 8x10 view.

Randy,
Sorry I haven't responded sooner. I get a lot of email. Mine aren't painted, just shiny metal. Considering their application, they are no where near the film during exposure, so reflection...

I have several 11x14 holders that have Stainless Steel darkslides. Consider a local home improvement store such as Home Depot for sheet metal. It is what I will be using when I build some XL holders...

Stunning piece, beautiful range. The tilt to empower the foreground (which compliment the models midtone shapes and softens them), adds greatly to the entire image. Very nice.

OK, have you tried pouring in the developer in first, then immerse the paper face down, pressing the paper down randomly with your fingers for about 30 seconds to get the paper wet and lay flat, then...

What are you processing your paper in, paper manufacturer, and is it FB or RC? I've processed up to 40x60 FB with good old Dektol in plastic gutters, one for each chemical with excellent and...

N. Riley,
Many thanks for your very thorough reply and suggested links. The fixer I'm using still tests as being fine (no precipitate from testing solution), so I'm under the impression this...

I really should have taken the time to compliment Bill Kumpf on the article. I use my oscilloscope to calibrate as well. The entire article was thorough and very professional. I hope to post soon on...

It seems the idea of a simple shutter got lost along the way, though I did appreciate the ingenuity.

As for the matter of being committed to horizontal exposures as mentioned on page 1, simply...

I've been processing for decades, and have not seen this staining before. Tri-X Pan Pro 320 8x10 in LegacyPro EcoPro Ascorbic Acid Powder BW Film Developer (an X-Tol variation with no Metol or...
