Pictorialists doing a "Charley the tuna".
I have run 4x5, 5x7 and 8x10. They all have pros and cons. 8x10 was the way to go for contact prints but digital enlarged negatives from 4x5 scans are now a really nice way to make pt/pd prints. ...

This exercise has been surprisingly interesting. For me the top five were easy but the real horse trading came with slots 5-10. Caponegro or White - White did it first and with more intensity....
Order depends on the day:
Alfred Stieglitz
Edward Weston
Wynn Bullock
Minor White
Alvin Langdon Coburn
Carleton Watkins
Aaron Siskind
Paul Strand
AA matters for the many positive reasons already stated. I don't recall mention that he made the cover of Time and was an honored guest at the White House. He stood as ambassador to the wider world...
Why Weston matters to me.
This is purely subjective. As a viewer you have the right to connect with some aspects of a photographer's work but not necessarily all of it.
With Weston that’s...
This thread is absolutely awesome! OK - not photo buzzwords but: awesome and especially absolutely, absolutely need to be totally retired.
Giclée - means "to spray" in French you know?
Yea, I've ben through all this. Settings are consistent - and worked ok before. I'm thinking this is something else entirely. The search continues...
Marko - sounds right.
Platform is Mac all programs running prophoto.
"You also need to set your entire environment, including Photoshop to see and use those profiles correctly."
Bet that's...
I've had a problem with image control creep into my life and I can't figure it out!
In short there is a significant discrepancy between thumbnails and the selected image in both Lightroom and...
They are not the dreaded exploding acetate film. They are safe and that's why they are called safety film!
I've been experimenting with VueScan and find that it is able to hold the highlight detail in negatives which eluded me in Nikon Scan 4.
VueScan will recognize a 35mm frame in the 120 glass...
Nikon scan does a decent job with color negative film and the clean up with "ice" really saves a lot of work. Ice doesn't work with Kodachrome or b&w. All I want out of the scanner software is a...
OK this is progress.
Let's assume with Silverfast or Vuescan highlights can be brought into useful range. Any preference out there between these two programs?
How about working with 35mm...
I’ve been working with a Super Coolscan 9000ed for several years and I must say it continues to confound me. I’ve searched this site and the www and haven’t found the information I seek – but if I’ve...
I wonder if a blurb book could serve as a prototype for a book which might then be picked up by a publishing house? Or - conversely if a book has been produced and circulated as a blurb book would...
Very enlightening discussion guys. It is especially helpful for you with experience to purse out the nuances. And but of course the technology continues to advance so currently produced books...
David - riverrun is a handsome series!
Does the printing do the finely crafted images justice?
At $88.95 the price seems high to me. It is a Blurb book with 38 images. Perhaps from a high...
So painters have the ultimate in flexibility? Well most still cling to the rectangle in some form.
Why not work in an oval - a bit more like our vision works?
Our lenses are throwing...
There is a terrific range of imagery, from microscopes to the Hubble telescope, long lens, super wide lens, time exposures and Edgerton flash. Photography expands our vision no question.
...
Intention. That's the difference.
For example, if you plan a panorama strip out of the center of a 4x5 sheet film that is physical cropping - but it isn't the same as after the fact salvage...
Sorry kid, I think you know by the question the answer is "you don't".
A hard assed professor of mine at RIT, Owen Butler, told a seminar of MFA candidates you "have no business teaching until you...
It is distracting and show-of-fey. It leans on process for meaning. While we are at it let's throw in brush marks and other alt-process "signatures".
None of the masters I hold dear let it all...

I am wary of adding anything organ to an image as it is food for some life form. There are of course a lot of gelatin based images out there, they have preservatives added and don't support mold...
Thought I'd revive this old thread as it came up in a search regarding post processing of platinotypes.
Also check out the link in post #6. One of the coolest treasures I've ever stumbled upon on...
As Jim suggests you can't lay the film in top to bottom - the long way. You have to go across which means lots of stitching. Frank - these files are to print so the light box solution won't do. ...
In the days before photomerge I made panoramas with a 6" cirkut camera. These color negatives are up to 5' long. I have scanned them 7" at a time in my Epson 4870 and then photoshoped them back...
I prefer a ball head (Giotto, Gitzo) for field work with light weight 4x5, 5x7 flat bed cameras. I keep the pressure as snug as possible but still moveable so you can make adjustment with out it...
You can cook up a concept about almost anything and sell it with words. To my jaded eye that is pretty common in modern art.
My standard for success in a piece of photography or other visual...
I don't get what they're doing and haven't for a long time. When I was beginning I cherished Aperture. I still refer to the early issues and consider them some of the most meaningful books in my...
Logical and well thought through.
However it is based on parameters I personally have never experienced - such as an audience/client base with sufficient resources and or desire to purchase too...
Hi All,
I'm looking at the POD (print on demand) option and wonder if you who have tried it would share your impressions?
I've always thought of well produced photo oriented books as cherished...
As a life long photographer and former gallery owner I've walked in both sets of these shoes. I would have to say the gallery has the most at stake. The gallery has considerable fixed expenses...
It is anyone's guess.
If you have galleries that can get top dollar for you then go for it.
When we had a gallery we sold work for a painter and made good money for him. However said painter...
