Ciao corto,

click on "Search", then "Advanced Search", then select "Search Titles Only" for Keywords and enter "Germany" (or "Hungary" or "Turkey"). For Germany I found:

I had good experiences with Kodak 160NC and Fuji Pro 160S. Once a shop gave me by mistake some Kodak 400VC and I used it amongst others for some night shots - didn't like the result really, the...

IIRC Fuji gives reprocity information for 160S up till 32 seconds only. After that there are some "generic" reciprocity for color film tables out on the web. With color neg film, err on the side of...

Welcome!

I don't think you'd need to have a rangefinder when taking pictures from a plane. Finding the hyperfocal distance for the lens should be enough.

Absolutely wonderful! Like a fairy tale! The depth created by the light and the wide angle lens are so beautiful. Thank you for showing us this picture!

Correction to my previous "they should be finished" post: The cranes are still there. I passed by Monastiraki area this morning and saw not 1 but 3 cranes. Couldn't make out any scaffolding (that...

Number 1 you will always have, no matter when you go. Cold, sunny winter mornings might be the best bet. Number 2, yeah, discussed before.



Well, they will never be finished. It's kind of like...

They declared the restoration finished. I think it's almost done. Most of the cranes and scaffolding were gone last time I looked, but gotta check again.

In fact I should go there on Sunday or so,...

For scanning use the software that came with the scanner or VueScan.

Instead of Photoshop you can get PhotoLine http://www.pl32.com/ which costs 59 Euros and does handle 16bit/channel images, and...

One of my 6x9 cassettes for my Arca has an insert to crop to 6x6. I've only ever used it for one catalog production, when we were shooting lots and lots of small objects (what they use digital for...

... which is exactly the point of using infrared films for military reconnaissance. It reveals camouflage paint. Probably it went round and around and there are "ir-safe" camouflage paints and dies...

This is a church in the village of Halki on the island of Naxos. Arca-Swiss 6x9, Fuji Acros 100.

Sinars have a similar mechanism. We learned not to trust that mechanism back then, back where I worked :-)

I hated Flash way before Apple hated it :-) When I hit onto a flash website, I have to have a real, real big incentive not to turn around and leave that very instant.

For slideshows I use jQuery...

rainphot, welcome aboard! Isn't it great to be enjoying photography without job pressure? When I was 13 I was more interested in my father's 'blad, his Sinar's didn't interest me that much back then,...

Interesting quote from that press release: "Insgesamt liege die Nachfrage nach Film aktuell allerdings nur mehr bei rund zehn Prozent des Marktvolumens im Jahr 2000, als in Deutschland cirka 150...

Apart from technical features and abilities, also consider that for Vuescan Pro you will pay exactly once. No matter if you upgrade to a newer version or if you buy a different scanner, it will...

Small correction: "his work"

I hear that VueScan works with the Coolscan 9000... but if you find out the scanner still doesn't work for you, I'd gladly help to "recycle" it :-)

Please remember that you can thread 2 rolls of 120 on one reel. With Jobo reels you push in the "stopper" after you threded in the first film completely, then you don't run the risk of the films...

I like the composition a lot and I have a question there: Given the name "Costa" I was wondering if "Calaveritas" is maybe a shoehorning of the Greek village name "Calavrita"... there could be a...

I like the second one a lot. I think it would be worth some experimentation to get the tonality worked up. I'd try to make it more contrasty, specifically to darken the cloud shadow in the foreground...

I wouldn't consider Frank's post to be trolling, also since from other posts of his I perceive it to be "in character" :-) Instead I think it's a valid point of discussion.

Sure, sometimes these...

Well, given that Switzerland has 8% VAT, while e.g. Germany has 19% VAT and given that currently the Swiss Frank is valued very high compared to the Euro and the Dollar, logic would say that the same...

160S was replaced by 160NS.

See for example:

(Notice how the title says "NS", while the description still says "S".)

I use two fixing baths for film development. Unfortunately I don't have a darkroom for prints now.

As for determining how much to use the fixer, I just go with the rule of thumb for my fixer...

I'd agree on the Diafine: It will last for a year or more, so you don't really have to think about disposal while you're on the go. Store the Fix too and dispose/recycle properly when you're back "in...

Frank, I'm really enjoying this "flooded" series of yours! Great compositions, wonderful tonality in the results.

Even though you didn't risk your life for it, I prefer the 3rd one of these three, it's really strong. The contrast between the harsh structures in the waves and rocks vs. the soft clouds struck me...

Austin,

every thread can sometimes use somebody who gives it a new push to activity.

(For example what Donald Miller did in the "Abstracts" thread, publishing a lot of great work that (in my...

Seeing that this is a color negative, you should be able to get it all out with a single scan. (Note that Joanna refers to transparencies.)

You didn't mention your scan software. I would second...

The EXIF data says: "Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT"

It's also from a site that offers "outstanding free wallpaper and backgrounds for your pc". I doubt that they will be OK with you posting this as...

There was, but now that the new pictorialists came along you have to pay extra to get corrosion or rot (not sure about the vermin).

I enjoyed this picture very much!

So, since my monitor isn't tall enough to see it all, I dragged it to the desktop and opened it in Apple's "Preview" (image viewer) program in order to see it a...

Thank you very much Donald and Jon!

Another one from that session, this one with the 65mm, again on the Arca 6x9.

Hey, it happens to everyone! I have a few pictures with the "last afterglow of the sun on the mountains", because I was just a tiny bit too slow for a picture with the real "afterglow". I've always...

My changing bag is of the "extra large size" kind. When I have to keep my hands in there longer, I put a stool in there. This helps the material from laying directly on my hands and reduces sweating....
