It will probably be fine. If you are worried and want to ensure the same ammonium citrate concentration you can always evaporate off 1/4 of the volume.

Looking forward to it, please add my name to the list.

Many thanks for the comments on mounting. Will give it a go!

The coating is no more arduous than brushing. It is essentially the same drop count you would normally use just diluted ~3 fold with...

Greetings,

I've been experimenting with the Kozo Goyu 'light' paper from B&S for pt/pd printing. After much trial and error I've figured out to coat the stuff. However, I'm a bit stumped on how...

Was there any swing on the image? I've seen localized ghosting like this when using front tilt with a heavy lens. A very small amount of drift will cause a double image or ghosting that may only be...

Fantastic. I have the P1 and a variety of other doodads - cascade film holder, camera case, lens etc. I've put about 50 miles into my pack and it has lived up to all expectations. At first I thought...

Also don't forget the 'Gambler's addiction' aspect. For each shot you have a lot of time and money (film and developing costs) riding on it, and you are truly gambling that you remembered to stop...

Many thanks! I am hoping that $$$ worth of film is not ruined. I will take some test shots and send off for developing. Live and learn. I imagine from days developing autorads in grad school that...

Argh, the wife re-arranged the film in the fridge to make room for more food stuffs. In doing so, she placed a recently opened box of 8x10 portra on its side. I opened the fridge to retrieve a beer...

Ha, I have the same or very similar setup in my garage! I was having trouble diffusing a hot spot and getting even illumination over 11x14 at about 20 inches from the print surface. Lining the...

Great work all! I've been lurking for awhile enjoying the monthly portrait thread. Recently transitioned from 4x5...

Every film has its own reciprocity failure rate and is usually described in the film leaflet. There have been some good discussions of this here and I personally use some of the tables referenced in...

Power lines, parking lots, and signboards in front of churches are proof that god dislikes photographers.

Very nice. I really like the composition with the trees and the steeple. But the signs are quite distracting - especially the large crooked one. Did you get any grief for parking a large format...

Spent nearly an hour trying to lay the focal plane along the moss and shroom. All of sudden while under the dark cloth, everything goes dark! What the heck? I pull my head...

Another great image Ken! Would you mind sharing where you placed the plane of focus on this shot (and aperture). These shots typically stump me and I end up trying to do something cute like swing the...

Pen and paper. I have my sekonic set to EVs. I scan the scene for light values which I write down in a small moleskin notebook with film number, type, duplicate, etc. I then pick an EV based on the...

I've had good luck with Samy's Camera Santa Barbara. I'm in the NC triangle and will send film to Samy's on Monday and have it back by Saturday. 4x5 E6 is only a $1.70 for dip and dunk. The...

Hi,

I would definitely recommend the it8 targets from wolf faust (or any similar targets). I was skeptical at first and held off buying one for my scanner. However, scans never looked like the...

Murphy's law. Not much went as planned yesterday.

Unseasonably hot and muggy in VT. Arrived at beautiful waterfall early evening all to myself. Set up camera, focus, calculate exposure, walk...

Mrladewig and MumbleyJoe,

Thanks for the kind compliments. I wish I could say the image was more than the result of dumb luck. But I;m at the mercy of luck when it comes to long exposures and...

Incredible shot. Were you set up on that thin little median? True Cajones!

Fantastic texture! I bet you can just feel this one on a large print.
