Hi everyone. I'm going to Prague for a couple of weeks and am taking my 4x5 with me with 75mm, 150mm and 210mm (that's all I could fit in the carry-on bag). I have some room for filters... any...

Yes, Gary... just saw your "follow" today and I have reciprocated... very nice work!
Go to an Apple Store and have a look at the new Retina iMac... very impressive. I bought a 27" iMac Christmas 2013 so I'll have to wait another year, but bought the 15" Retina MacBook Pro this...
I saw an Edward Weston show at the Metropolitan in NY many years ago, also with low light levels. And much more recently a show at the Phoenix Art Museum, where I complained. I can't imagine "museum...
Thanks axs810... that's the kind of information I was looking for... although I would never put myself in this young man's position... I'd be working at McDonald's if I had to.
I was wondering if anyone was using Instagram... you know... us old geezers (speak for yourself) who use big cameras to make beautiful images... not hipsters who flood the world with garbage. Becky...
I bought my first 4x5 (Omega 4x5D) from them in 1982 right after I graduated college, with my first paycheck! Bought a few lenses form them and lots of film. Used to love going there in the 1980s!
For the most part I like, and use, sharpness in my LF (4x5, 8x10, 11x14) photography. I rarely print larger than 11x14, printing 8x10 most of the time, and 16x20 only when an image will benefit from...
BINGO Drew!
Ahhhh, now we know the true motivation...
Weston made no money until he was dead. As did Van Gogh.

Not trying to rain on your parade here, but I would consider going back to school... for something else... and keeping this a hobby that you enjoy and love. The days you pine for are long gone. Art...
To spend Thanksgiving and the Holidays with my daughter in Pittsburgh since she can't come home this year for Christmas break. I can work from anywhere (self-employed graphic designer). Plus I have a...
I work 80-100 hours a week... photography is a love affair that I have to squeeze in when I can. This trip (next week for 6 weeks) presented itself and that's what I have to deal with. I will be...
I am a die-hard TMax 100 (and 400) guy. But I have a box of Delta 100 that I want to try and am going on an extended business trip where I can to bring my cameras and don't have time to test the film...

Thank you! I made that image the morning after I had a car accident in the snowstorm that made this snow. On my way home from work hit a patch of black ice under the snow and took out a telephone...

I did not consider another exposure. I was in the middle of the desert, at night, and had been there since sundown (about 4 hours total). I also took some when the sun was hitting it straight on at...
I always thought this would look good in a psych(oanalyst, iatrist, ologist)'s office. I have one printed at 16x20 and it looks great. BTW, I also have said "pattern on a fish" and "bird gone crazy...
Grain, 1983, Ellis Island, NY
I was taking a workshop in conjunction with Montclair State College and the National Park Service. 3 weekends for the NPS and 3 weekends for personal work. This piece...
I mean I don't use any apps to make images with my iphone... Yes, I use the Reciprocity timer app for LF work.

I don't use any apps... I just use the iphone exactly like a view camera. Same lighting, same composition.
Last night I showed some of my 4x5" flowers (displayed on this thread) to a local LF photo group I belong to. All 8x8" inkjets from negative scans. Got some nice comments. THEN, I put up a few more...
