I still have camera gear, just wasn't inspired anymore to lug a boat anchor of a camera around anymore I guess. Other reasons as well.

Hey all,
Some of you may remember that I sold all my LF gear. Well, I've gotten around to scanning some of the negatives that I've had lying around, processed them in Lightroom and Photoshop (and...
I haven't heard back from Epson yet. Part of why I asked here is because I expect to get the cut and paste non-helpful answer from some 3rd party off-shored company. Anyway, I don't have any other...
I have this odd problem. I bought a Epson 4990 PHOTO (refurb) and installed updated drivers (that are Vista compatible) and in no time was scanning away and just got back my first batch of prints...
That's interesting. Hadn't thought about doing it that way....
For the first time, I'm about to jump into the murky depths of making masks for some of my images. I have on in mind that screams to have a highlight mask (some rock banding without a lot of tonal...
Sigh. Anyone want to buy an unopened 50-sheet box 16x20 FB Elegance?
You're right in that it is pushing the envelope, so to speak, for the N+/-4 values. I figured I had the supplied methodology so I was going to play with it. It's the danger in giving a scientist an...
Well, I finally acquired enough 'stuff' to do my own development and testing. Would be interested in comments or feedback since this is the first test I've ever done.
Step 1: Exposure. Load...
Dawn at Zabriskie Point, Death Valley.... Just look east and watch the train of jets stretching off to the horizon.
Thanks, Al. Good thing I haven't tried to take it apart yet! I'd say the tempering bath probably needs a good acidic flush. This is the Pacific Northwest after all where nothing every really dries...
Just picked up a used Jobo CPP2 + lift off of craigslist ($425...:D ).
Looking to give it a good RnR before giving it a try. I notice that Jobo recommends using their Processor II cleaner and that...
Looking at playing around with masking and am trying to find any instructions for doing a variety of masks. There appears to be plenty of info on how to do unsharp masking. I haven't had much luck...
I realized after I took off to the shower that I wasn't quite clear there. I'm looking to put a step wedge into my enlarger and get the density curves as a function of development time etc for my...
Never done film calibration before but now that I have the equipment at home I'm giving it a try. Dumb question #0001 (note possibility for 9999 dumb questions):
I'm sure this is obvious but when...
I can confirm that you can find these things at Safeway. I just saw some there.
I have better luck on Craigslist. I've scored some sweet darkroom gear in the last year off of it from people just walking away from it.
I have an Ebony non-folder (RSW 45) and I used to own the Wisner Technical Field. The Ebony beats the Wisner hands down for stability and non-drift of adjustments. As for the focusing screen, it's...
Thanks everyone. I thought I had the wrong tank. I'll have to keep my eye out for the 9" tank.
Sounds like you're an agitator to me Paul. ;)
I saw the thread on the title page about uniroller development of 4x5 film. I just had someone hand me a working Uniroller and a drum for free. I'm thinking that maybe the drum isn't the correct size...
Get there early and bring your earplugs.
I lived in Uppsala for a year. Can I be an honorary Swede? No, wait, I don't like herring. Never mind. ;-) Still, Stockholm on a sunny day is one of the prettiest cities in the world.
I have one of these these hanging in my darkroom. It helps.

I think part of my problem is that I've never had my own darkroom before and I've always wanted to be able to generate really fine prints. Now, I finally have one and I find it all a bit daunting. ...
My problem is I have too many mistresses.
I like climbing which occupies my weekends in the summer. I like mountaineering, which I'm now able to get back into after a too long hiatus caused by...
I go away for a little while and look what happens to the place.
It's apparent that a large swath of you aren't ready for the Internet, or polite social discourse.
I ban all of you.

I've seen guys do this in Jeep automotive forums. Some dealers will go with it, others won't. As my dad always says, "If you don't ask, you don't get". The man is the master of getting things for...
I solve this problem by having a hard sided suitcase and then I put my tripod in that with the ball head detached. Never had a problem.
Given the number of various types of errors, both objective and subjective, that can creep into focusing, and given the general lack of a 'scientific' approach to most things photographic (always...
Sorry, old Monty Python skit. :-)
Do you mind if we call you Bruce? It'll make things easier. ;-)
Sell my prints? Now that'd be something.....
Fogtech.
one day while walking in downtown Anchorage, my dad spied a small plastic bag in the gutter. being the pack rat that he is, he picked it up and put it in his pocket. only later, when he got home and...
I can pick my nose pretty well when I put my mind to it....or finger as the case may be.
