How about my Zone VI spot meter doing a swan dive out of my pocket and down the back steps? Not very exciting but I have been very fortunate so far in my 20 years.

Call Kodak, or Ilford and they should tell you. I would be careful of any volitile solutions because they may leave a residue on the film and or disolve the emulsion. I would try, not peeling...
Selling limited editions of prints seems to attrack more buyers. I have seen edi tions from 20 to 100 and higher. Some increase their prices quite dramatically a s an edition nears its end. What are...
I havn't decided.
Just a post script. I had an exhibition years ago. One peice was of a chunk of snow and ice, taken on a frozen salt marsh. My aunt, who I dearly love, but has absolutly no artistic perception, at...
I have not, as of yet had that problem, at least not that I know of. At least you were able to find out and get the evidence. Sounds to me like pure thievery. Though in this day and age of Enron,...
My understanding is this website is being maintained as a non profit site. I know I do not pay a dime to post or read. Servers, juice, website design cost time and money! I have been hanging around...
I WOULD LOVE SOME PANATOMIC X!! Can you still get some frx-22 developer?? You know, with all this debate between digital vs film vs tonality vs charataristic curves (Brittany Spears has some...
Or Clara Bell the mule. HHHEEEEEHHHAAAWWWW!!!!!
Already been there, it's been done. I remember reading an article some 20 years ago about a photographer who did something similiar with his van. Though if you are familiar with the term, camera ...
It would seem Stevie is mostly referring to big budget, sci-fi, special effects flicks where digital has definitly made for some exciting effects; Spiderman swinging through Manhatten, Jedi's ...
I used to do trays but switched to tanks. If you really want to use trays, make sure to use an over sized tray, 5x7 trays for 4x5 negs. They have to have grooves in the bottoms so you can get...
You are certainly not the first to be pressured into situations like that. These days, it is a buyers market with so many starving photographers clammering for a shrinking market. The matter is ...
I have used both extensively and find that Tri-X is generally the better of the two and more versitile. Not to say Tmax 100 is not good film, it depends how you process it.
I find for Tmax,...
I went from trays to HP Combi Tanks for B&W film. The tanks give far more even development then trays. Shuffleing sheet film in trays, if not done just right, can cause scratches on the film. I...
I wonder if the aluminum will affect the chemestry? Also, in time, the acid base reactions of the process, plus the chemicals themselves may erode the trays. Film developing trays need to have...
Certainly not! But the way most passersby ignore them, you would think so.
Thanks for the great responses! One thing that comes to mind is that at times, a photographer may shoot beyond himself. Meaning, he may not truly understand what he has photographed at the time,...
Thanks for all the great help! Apparently it may not be as dangerous as I think. Still there are two things that concern me. One is the walking and carrying the 25 lbs of equipment all day. It's...
I am trying to get up the courage to take my 4x5 and bag into NYC and shoot arou nd. I have been doing it with 35mm and having fun. However, lugging around a 4x5 , tripod, bag just makes me nerveous....
The landscape painters of old used what was called a "camera obscura." Essentially it was a pinhole camera the size of a tent, with aperatures on all four sides. The painter would set it up in the ...
I went through my files the other day and pulled a negative I shot back in 1977. I had shot two other photographs of the same Victorian house and those two got printed and worked very well. However,...
It really depends on the quality you want. For $75 to $100 dollars/scan, a TRUE pro lab will do a "drum scan," where the negative or transparency is immersed in an oil and scanned. It is the ...
Lift a glass to Fred! Also, pull a dark slide, trip a shutter, print a master piece, carry on in the tradition. One thing among many about Fred, he was never afraid to stand up to the Yellow God...
DAMN DAMN DAMN!!!
One of the unsung greats! I attanded on of his work shops around 1978. I remember Wes Disney, Sue Barron, Martin Tartar, Lil Farber, and the others. It was one of the most...
My D2 is really an old jalopy. The bellows has been replaced with a home made bag bellows made from black vinyl. I have a cold light head as a light source. My lenses are Schneider. It's wall...
You should read the account of how Ansel Adams shot "Moon Rise Hernendez in his Making of 40 Photographs or autobiography. Apparently, after rushing to set up and compose before the sun set, he...
Thanks for the quick responses and information. It is very helpful!
Is there any difference in proceedure between dry mounting cibachrome glossy pri nts vs regular c prints on 4 ply museum ragboard?
You might just shoot some exposures of the mercury vapor lights with the different filter packs, keep careful notes, get them developed and then choose the best one. Then go reshoot with your...
I don't know what tanks your using, but if they are Combi tanks, then here are a few things to consider. Do not use the funnels or the spouts. Work in total darkness and remove the lid to change...
WOW! I got more then I bargained for! THANK YOU for the great comments. Though one reminded me to work on my slider and maybe get a cat to unwind my ball of twine.
Stephen, your comment brought...
Now here is a real curve ball. Is an Andre Kertez 35mm negative any less valuabl e or precious then an Ansel Adams 8x10 negative? Or is a 35mm negative of W. Gen e Smith any less important then an...
I started with 35mm back in college for P1 and P2. After graduation I went 4x5 and have been using it predominatly for over 20 years. This morning I spent a very enjoyable 5 hours with my...
LFP to me is the best way to learn photography. If you are serious from the start, that is what you should learn on. The 4x5, spot meter, sheet film holders, Zone System, Fred Picker, Ansel Adams,...
Personally, not too often. If the day is uninspiring, or I am not in the mood, I stay home and do other things. It really depends on how you approach your subject. Case in point.
I was shooting...
Generally the light is very good especially with the wide angel filter that fits over the head. The 60 has it attached under the head and slides in place while the 45's are detached, seperate.

The wilds of the Idaho Bitteroot Mountains just minutes away? AND YOU CAN'T GET MOTIVATED!!?? Wanna trade places??? What destinations I have that are minutes away form my house in the great...
DITTO, ABSOLUTELY, Get a description, serial numbers, ANYTHING and fax it around, walk in to any and all camera stores. Most reputable stores are very co operative in this area and have lists of...
Well, since the projected image on the ground glass is inverted already, for someone to stand on their head while composing is to view the image in proper perspective. But then again suffering for ...
