Originally I contacted him through his website at http://www.bobwheeler.com/ , but that domain is up for renewal or deletion. So, sorry, can't help there.
Sorry, have to report a fail on that. What with other commitments, I couldn't bring it to conclusion. Anyone willing to take up the project is most welcome.
Don't forget Fujifilm Acros. Because reciprocity failure only comes into play with exposure times above 2 minutes, it is a faster film at typical large format exposure times than many 400 ISO films.
It's like Oren said: you shouldn't limit your possibilities of using that scanned file right in the scanning stage. So: no sharpening, no grain supressing (sometimes, the two together increase the...
A large iPod and an adapter cable. Don't forget chargers for both the iPod and the camera. Or use film ;-).
One of the difficulties with the original poster's question and this subsequent discussion going on here is that ethical and aesthetic values don't mix well. Art is unethical. Granted, it can be...
Here is my latest platinum-palladium print:http://web.mac.com/chammann/iWeb/Mostly%20Black%26White/Photoblog/D2D8FEC6-45B2-44AF-9510-0B9520198031_files/C1450_031008_1_PtPd.jpg
I did it with the...
The two main differences between my son's Shen Hao (same model as yours) and my Ebony 45 SU2 are bellows draw, asymmetric movements and the way it folds ...

As Erik said, you can roll your ankle in any boot. When I was a doctor in the army, even well-trained paratroopers in top-notch footgear hurt their ankles. Tough luck is all it is.
It's not the widest 8x10 wide angle known to man, but the widest (and onliest) wide angle used by me, a Super Angulon f/8 165 mm. Picture is a platinum print on japanese paper of a rock formation in...
At least 30.
I actually had fun (and success) sending my 4x5 trannies to a large commercial lab through our local photo dealer. They still do it, and prices here in Germany are reasonable. 2€ per E6 sheet, IIRC. ...
Apart from top hat lensboards, which are such a strange article in name and sight that everyone remembers them, there are also back extenders, though I don't know if one is available for the original...
My son's photographer stance:

Whatever it takes ...
Uhhm, Gene,
I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with that. At least with the three Grafmatic cassettes I'm using, the darkslide is pushed IN when you make an exposure, afterwards you push the chrome...
Hi all!
The link says it all:
What I've been doing in my holidays.
I'm doing this with Bob Wheeler's consent and I'm trying to copy his functionality as closely as possible. So, sorry, I can't...
A series of images my 14 years old son Carl has shown at the portfolio reviews at this year's edition of Les rencontres d'Arles Photographie. Originally in the format of an inkjet-printed album, it...
Duotone or tritone printing is very common in photo books, one of the finest examples can be experienced in Michael Kenna's "Hokkaido".
I use similar techniques for duotone printing on the inkjet...
No, In fact it's a normal 4x5 sheet glued to a leader and a "follower", put in an envelope with a metal clamp at the bottom of the holder. The Quickload holder exposes the whole sheet, I don't know...
Wrong for me might very well be right for you, only you can decide if your means meet your ends. You could have your prints made at WalMart and drag them over asphalt afterwards if it helps.
No...
Here are some examples:

Because in my best moments, I can feel the landscape talk through me.
Well, here's my "latest and greatest", from a rock formation in the Harz mountains called the Devil's Wall:

Well, this is from a german perspective, and in the sequence of your question:
Dirk's Megaperls for Film, Bostick & Sullivan for alternative processes and Monochrom in Kassel right near to me for...
Went from a Gitzo 1227 (I know, not the Manfrotto you're asking about, and admittedly marginal for 4x5) to a wood tripod and found the wood tripod steadier. The head makes a whole lot of difference,...
Another voice for using laptop bags to carry 8x10 film holders in. The one I'm using came with a LightWare photo bag and holds 4 of them.

Re your last two questions:
The setup you mention needn't be slow using Photoshop if you use a scratch disk. That could be an external FireWire disk that could (and should!) also be used to back up...
Calumet C-1 magnesium of their first series. Front-focussing and NOT rebuild to do so. The bed folds out to the front. Must be from the early sixties, older than yours truly,
Christoph
Fred,
I wouldn't know, as I'm a total alternative processes noob and haven't even tried a brush. It seemed less economical to me, and that solution diappears into the paper fast! Perhaps someone...
Sorry for that, caught that web design glitch too late. The page is changed to a blog format now, no pictures overlapping the text, although now the last steps in the process come first on the blog...
Hi all!
For your amusement I've written a piece about my first experiences making platinum prints. It is here.
Hints and advice on how to go on from here are always appreciated.
See you!...
Not at all. Jenoptik was born when Zeiss Jena was split up after the Wall came down. One department of Jenoptik makes Eyelike digital backs, but the CCD in the Leica M8 is made by Kodak.
Christoph...
Nope, it only goes to 6x9 cms.
Well, here we go:

This style soon becomes a blunt sword, I think. Should be used sparingly.
Christoph
People, don't worry!
you're NOT loosing your eyesight, just the ability to focus your eyes to near distances. As this thread amply demostrates, there are lot's and lots of optical aids to compensate...
Both of which couldn't be said of the subject matter ;-)
No, seriously, I think it has to do with the fact that older lenses are not as fast, e.g. the Super Angulon 90 mm used to start at f/8, now...
Sorry Geert, it isn't the Eisenach near Trier, it's the one in Thuringia, postal code 99817. The one where J.S. Bach was born and Martin Luther translated the Bible into German while in custody on...
Good idea, Steve, but it's too late to change the date now. Besides, I'm visiting a friend living near Cologne on the Photokina weekend and we're both going there. Will you be there? Any chance to...
