Don't you think that the reason all the old movies look so great is due to the fact that no one keeps collections of all the crappy ones? I doubt that many of the bad films of today will survive to...

wouldn't the aerial shots of the amusement parks be really cool if there was a little bit of fog on the ground.
I rarely find such a high contrast range but on occasion have had ranges close to 15 stops. I recall a portrait of a catholic priest I took in southern ca.--him in bright white robes outside in full...
I think it's one of the forums over at photo.net......
I prefer to be called,"Mr. Wuss".
just saw this today, sorry to take so long to respond.
Bob, I don't save any of the quotes, I cut and pasted it when I saw it.
I don't have any type of obsession with Mr. Smith, I just respond...
Yes Donald, this is an exact quote, it was cut and pasted here from the other posting. worse yet, it was in response to Smith's not getting to use the forum as his own personal advertising space.
...
maybe this quote from Michael Smith will give you some idea as to why some dislike him.....
"I am, by far, the most accomplished fine-art photographer who contributes to the LF forum. (My...
west coast imaging does really nice work, I toured the place when I was last at Yosemite nat. park. (they are in the west, but not on the coast) I think they are about an hour south of Yosemite...
"exploration in all directions of style and craft is not only valid, but often vital for individual creative growth"
-Ansel Adams
"Technical issues of printing must not be allowed to overwhelm...
Adams also was very excited about the digital age coming to photography, and what print digital or traditional isn't a reproduction? one comes from a negative, and the other comes either from a...
There are no rules for good photographs, there are only good photographs. -Ansel Adams
I have often thought that if photography were difficult in the true sense of the term -meaning that the...
I was shooting at the pismo sand dunes ages ago when I was still in school and my 4x5 flopped right over frontways...right onto my brand new rodenstock 75mm wide angle, yes thats right, front...
I don't think having the two match up is really that important, if I want a polaroid positive I would go to a print only film which would be much cheaper, and if I wanted a negative I would use the...
the only places I have used this email is here and at photo.net, and I have gotten spam, not much, but some.
if you do continue to freeze/refregerate your film, go to an army surplus store and pick up an ammo can (make sure it has a good rubber seal), put the open film box in that so you can pull the can...
ever heard of this anyone? saw this mentioned at the santa fe workshop site that is offering a 20x24 polaroid camera course.

I like trays because: i use a lot less chemistry I can do n- and/or n+ processing along with normal. I know immediatly if something bad is going on with sheets (sticking together, etc.) hell, I'm...
hey! you told him to go out and shoot with it, I guess you agreed with me after all......
why don't you just meter with it on and then with it off??? I don't understand why you need us to answer this question for you?
ah yes the two of you being the first to attack, claiming my being a racist and now you are both above it all, how hypocritical.....yawn.
no, you attacked me earlier in other posts,whats the difference?
you continue to infer that in some way I am racist, nonsense, I simply point out stupidity when I see it.
what do the great...
its amazing how blind you are....
Depend on the afro american community......
depend on afro americans for inspiration...
your a blind fool, and thats been established also..
good thing Malcom x was moving away from such racist statements towards the end of his life.
sounds like it might be the enlarger head slowly creeping down. try pulling on the enlarger head after locking it down to see if its tight.
Sandy, I never said that I didn't care anything about the person who made the photograph. I simply said that the color of their skin makes no difference whatsoever.
color doesn't indicate life...
Jorge,
1.The meter compensates for both absorption and variations in color 2.no your way isn't as good because it doesn't compensate for color variations. 3.How is it that I don't grasp the...
Here here, Fred! I agree. If you create great work, I want to see it, if its crap I don't--what difference should it make as to what color/ sex the artist is?
Steve, if I said,"close enough" about something related to engineering would you have a problem with that? This isn't a hobby for me, and I don't put "fudge factors" on the wall. this is a big part...
Jorge, I never said I use factors, nor will I use your method, both of which I find simplistic and inaccurate. I use a zone 6 corrected spot meter which takes care of these problems.
I and...
Jorge, are you saying you carry a grey card around with you and check it every time? or test once with grey card and then use that correction every time. frankly neither is very accurate since the ...
The image that makes the viewer say,"I want to go there", is a failure. The image that takes the viewer there and beyond to what the photographer saw and felt, is a success.
but isn't the reason we have to use filter factors based on the idea that the filter subtracts that particular color from the scene when put to film? How could the filter factor always be the same...
Most of us today start with 35mm, but what about those who lived in an earlier time, such as Ansel Adams who started out with much larger formats and then at one time purchased a 35mm. I wonder how...
100's of moonrises printed by ross? where? when? what?
If you have to force yourself to shoot new work then why do it at all?
speaking of A. Adams, he was against limited editions-feeling that this was not true to the medium, I agree.
It is hype....
its reduced agitation plus a highly dilute developer that is most useful for extreme compression
oops, sorry Katharine
I agree completly with George,Katerine and Sandy. By the way, thank you Richard for coming down from on high to educate the common people and also for telling us about your assignments from "time" ...
I believe that I heard that John Sexton still uses tray dev. for extreme dilute developer work
