An abandoned steel mill that now has photo tours - Carrie Furnace just outside Pittsburgh, PA. This is just a workprint from today, but the final print will be close.

I'm in SWPA - specifically in Westmoreland County about 10 minutes from New Stanton. Since Pittsburgh Filmmakers closed in 2019, I don't know if there's much around that's non-digital. There are...

I mark mine with an "ultra fine point" Sharpie, but the label space doesn't fit onto the contact sheet anyway. Are you using paper larger than 8x10? I think their quality can vary a little from pack...

I love this!

Welcome! Where in CNY are you? I grew up in Little Falls.

FP4 and HP5 for film and DD-X for developer. There are a few other film types around, but those are the go-to ones.

My mom asked my brother and I what we wanted this year. I gave a short list for my son since he's still a kid (10), but both my brother and I said to donate to a food bank or Feeding America in our...

Another vote for the Chamonix. I have the 4x5 N-1, purchased in 2013. I don't shoot as often as I wish, but it's easy to pack into a bag that I can haul through the woods (for reference, I'm 5'5" and...

About a month before all this started, I got a Lensbaby Velvet56 for my digital and 35mm kits (all Pentax so can share lenses). I've been having fun with it - here's one I really like (there are more...

Welcome from western PA!

Thanks, Bob!

Thank you! Yup, missing the spacer. I also liked his wrench better than mine.

Thanks all! More shopping to do. :/

I'll try to take some pics to show, but I don't think there is a spacer ring (so that's probably part of it). While there is an anti-rotation pin, that isn't what's blocking the board. If the board...

Hi all. I bought a 300mm lens which I originally intended to use with my Chamonix, but then decided to use it on a 5x7. I bought a lens board that fits the camera fine and fits the Copal 3 shutter...

+1 for Praus https://www.4photolab.com. I haven't had them/him scan anything, but negatives have been great (even some kinda old and cruddy film).

That sucks. Keep an eye on Facebook marketplace, too.

The straight-edged area at the bottom is because the dark slide wasn't pulled all the way (top is bottom). The area with some exposure on the left of it is because the exposure was too much and it...

:( RIP, sir.

@ewfking - a little of everything, phone snaps, dslr, LF, etc..

But that does not apply to all the children of those who are members. My son is 9 and my computer screen is visible from across the room.



Hear, hear.

I have one lower section with lens from a pair of binoculars glued to a lens board. It's only sharp-ish in the middle, but looks kinda cool sometimes (and sometimes it's just bad).

Congratulations! There are some fantastic images!

Thank you! :)

I think 1 second? I'm horrible at recording what I do, but I know I didn't use bulb. Thank you very much!

Ice in Linn Run State Park back in February.

This is just excellent!

This tree is along Meadow Run at Ohiopyle State Park and the branches reach out very far.

The fuzzy white bands look to me like maybe the film was pressed a bit in that area - it was awesome stuff, but needed some care in handling. Try some fresh film with fresh developer and see how it...

As Sanford posted, this is how Polaroid film looks when it's old. The pod isn't breaking evenly so the chemicals aren't spreading evenly.

This should work (haven't tried this myself)

When I'm loading or unloading holders, my Apple Watch stays out of the room. If I'm printing, I have one of the faces set up as just the time in red. I learned with my Fitbit to leave it out of the...

+1. Elements can be purchased on the App Store if your MBP has a recent enough OS. It's sometimes on sale around $30-$50. It does pretty everything the older versions of full PS could do.

Welcome! I'd love to shoot at Dolly Sods if we can get some LF-ers together. I'm near New Stanton, PA, so not too far from WV.

Welcome! I've been through parts of Wyoming and loved it. The rocks are too cool.

I started learning 4x5 in about 2007, but have been shooting since the 70s (as a kid). I've had my own darkroom most of the last 16 years and took classes at the Danforth Museum School from '98-'03...

Excellent! Congratulations, Bob!

The first year I had mine, I did a shot a week project on instant film (Fuji, mostly). I did shoot other than those, but that made me set it up and shoot something every week. It did help me get...

Cool! I've been wanting to try dry plates, but don't have any holders. I may even consider a 5x7 one, too. I have a 5x7 I haven't used, yet, 'cause I still need to make/adapt a lens holder. It'd...

Cool! I graduated in '90. There are some great places around there for photography. I miss the area.

Welcome to LFPF from the other end of PA. I went to Moravian College a "few" years ago.
