    Why not just use Google? Putting "site:largeformatphotography.info" in google's search will limit it to this domain.

    "Waves" with dry-mounted prints?

    After dry-mounting my prints at a local shop, the print doesn't seem to be perfectly flat. I get tiny little ripples in the surface that are a bit distracting. The prints are printed at WCI on Fuji...

    Very nice work. I'll offer some comments if you are looking for them:

    I like #1 even though I live in Arizona and have seen that shot quite a bit. Impressive.

  12. Re: ShenHao 4x5 Bag bellows for wideangle and 6x9?

    Can't really answer the rest, but I've used the Shen Hao with the bag bellows with a 210mm lens fairly successfully. It's probably as long as I'd go with that bellows.
