I think I know that place. Merry Christmas, Jim.
Hi Greg,
I'm in Edgewood, a metope of us locals sounds good. Welcome!

Hi, glad you are with us. Is your coffee available around here? On the east side of Sandia Mountain?
I was stationed near Dunoon for 2 years back in the 60's, returned for a month in '05, always loved being there (winters were a bit raw, though). I especially enjoyed the Cowal (sp) Games in August...
Yes. I recommend the combo plate. :rolleyes:
My Nikkor will crop the corners at infinity, but just shy of infinity, it works great for distance. I can work at almost 1-1 if I like, and it's very sharp, so I'm loving it. I really should use it...

John, check this place, there are rock formations found no where else and it's just south of rt. 10 one the New Mexico/Arizona border. ...
Wonderful series, Jim, and the narration really brings it to life. A lot of old memories began to stir shaking off inches of dust, thanks.

"Stuck in the rural Scottish Borders." Oh, such a hardship! Yes, it's a bit flatter there, but with the amount of precipitation you have, you enjoy green and wonderful lighting. Portraiture in...
Not only is the green wonderful, but the cloud formations are the Best Show on Earth! The sunlight one hour after sunrise and before sunset is brilliant.
I once was a news photographer using a 4x5 Crown Graphic, so I have to stop, look and shoot a few, especially a train wreck! Thanks for your time in the barrel, Kirk.

Have you considered Ortho 3 film? And process in Litho chemicals?
Wind will make or break a shoot, most rain protection becomes sails...some of the most astounding photographs can be made during severe weather. I used to work on Cape Cod, so December storms...
I'm so glad you got the this mill before it was stripped of all that beautiful equipment. So often, this bit of history is lost forever...I love black on black work like you shared with us, you make...
I have used masking or duct tape on my paper cutter bed to cut film. The tape needs to be thick enough to be easily located and used as a jig in the dark and safely away from the cutter. Works...
How frustrating for you, but, although probably not relevant to this, I'd like to suggest checking the tightness (or loosness) of the lens elements. I have had the front element on my lenses unscrew...
WOW!! 4 pages of blather and not one mention of Light Falling On An Object...if what the light is doing is not what you are looking at...? Shrug.
Forgive me while I laugh. It's involuntary.

Avi,
Any new test shots? You have been given many points to consider; keep notes, my friend, I warned that the "hole" will only get deeper...but what fun falling in! You will begin to recognize...
It looks like the movement took place during exposure because the highlights look larger on the left image than those on the right. My personal experience has taught me to use a longer cable release...
I'd reach for the Crown and the 127mm. It's solid, dependable and proven. How many decades of news and wars were photographed with this combination? The lens may be "wide" but not objectionable,...
Consider the rigidity of the crown as an asset. If the camera is leveled on the tripod, I've found that the rising front is all you need. This is especially useful in windy conditions when my...
I was there last October...there was beach? As a kid, we visited the Pike, swam in the public salt water pool and went directly out on the beach to play in the sand. Now it's all cement and marina...
I have an old plywood version that was a light brown with darker molded brown synthetic leather corners and brass colored hardware. The inside is covered with purple felt (royalty?). It's a...
I can't resist. Yesterday I was out with my 4x5 Crown using the 120 roll film back. So I was shooting...?
Just started the back half of being in my 60's, never really knew anything else but LF. When a freshmen in high school, I wanted to learn photography, so I signed on to the yearbook staff - no...
Don't dispair, gents, just keep in mind (I almost said "focus on") the 3 million visitors spending 100 bucks in the park and probly several hundred before leaving Californy then look at the condition...
Exit 99 @ Visalia, rt. 63 no. to 180. The farmers along 63 are, for the most part, in a hurry to get somewhere. I'd travel on "work" days, too. Everybody goes to the mountains on weekends.
I expect my reply is too late for the initial question, but, if going to Kings Canyon, consider a side trip through Hume Lake and continue to Buck Rock Fire Lookout (google it), then on to Big...
If you are a "Professional" photographer and do photo finishing for others, you may have to play by different rules than amatuer photographers do. And if you dump "waste/used" chemicals to the...
Being somewhat handy with woodworking tools, and having priced lensboards ($35.00+ ea.), I make my own boards. Get to know someone in the maintainance shop to help, I use a small table saw to cut...
Hi,
I have the "same" camera, bought it on an auction site, several years ago. It only says Calumet on the base plate, no other info. I asked a Calumet rep at a trade show about it, response was...
Please forgive my lazyness because I didn't read all 9 pages of this thread. Having said that, will there be a "Tonopah Temptation Workshop 2012"? I have both 4x5 and 8x10 formats begging me to...
I have resently been handed a shoe box jammed full of my late father-in-law's old negs from his days as a freelance news fotog in El Paso, Texas back in the late 30's, 40's, 50's. (All 4x5, I've...
