    Re: Flowers Anyone?

    Ken, ..... You and your daffodils! They are exquisite! You should write a book just on shooting daffodils!

    BTW Daffodils are long gone down here. Irises just about over, too.

    5x7 Bellows

    I am going to make a new bellows for my Ansco 5x7 View camera. Its the grey painted one with black knobs with the lens tilt. The original bellows is tight stretched out to about 16". The...
  4. Re: Images from a Donald Trump rally and corresponding protest

    Just my two cents which could be wrong -- Doesn't the red filter make blue skies go dark? Which amps up the contrast making white clouds stand out. There are indeed days in the south, I'm in...

    Re: Images at 1:1 or thereabouts

    Thanks, Ken, good points. Richard, I think your flowers are beautiful. What nice tonality! They seem to glow.

    What exposures? Looks f32 or so?
    and forward tilt on the typewriter keys?

    Re: Images at 1:1 or thereabouts

    Cool stuff. I have a question. 1:1 occurs at double the lens focal length, right? That is, at 420mm bellows length for a 210mm lens. So would you get the same image with a shorter lens, say a...

    Corran, these are cool. Nice work. It would be helpful to me to know which is the 150mm and which the 135mm just from a perspective point of view. Thanks,

    Re: new LF camera owner

    Of course films of the past were much less sensitive to red spectrum. Think of the red window on the back of all those roll film cameras. Listen to Jim. He's been there done that.

  24. Re: Your 5 favorite large format COLOR photographers?

    I love Eliot Porter, too, but I thought his photography was 35mm and dye transfer. I certainly might be mistaken.

    EDIT: Appears I am mistaken. He used a Linhof 4x5 according to some website. I...

    Re: Accessory Focal Plane Shutter curtain

    Those round plates, I believe, are the bearings that the rollers ride in. If you have a sluggish shutter, these are the usual culprit being gunked up with old grease. A cue-tip with naptha will clean...

    Please don't take this as criticism. The last few portraits and the flowers seem to have no detail in the shadows on my monitor. Could be my monitor. Do you all have detail on the neg? For instance...

  32. Re: Do you make your own Graflex Crown Graphic cams?

    Yep, I think that is true. This also shows how precise the cams should be. Its doable with simple hand tools. A caliper helps but not necessary.

    My advice would be to go for it and persevere.
  33. Re: Do you make your own Graflex Crown Graphic cams?

    I've made cams for my Super Graphic. It takes a few hours each. I've made a 90mm, 152mm, and a 205mm. The main ingredient is patience.
    It's not hard either. Hacksaw a piece of brass or steel the...

    Is it mounting tissue? I don't know but if it is, it is used with the dry mount press.
