I too would suggest have a PhotoCD made. Various file sizes will be made complete with a contact sheet.

I agree with Howard. The DMAX is the answer to shadow details, and not the resolution. A flatbed scanner with 3.7 should provide you with very good shadow detail, as long as the information is in...
I agree that the drying temperture will affect the flatness of the chrome. If th e film was clipped on to the hangers with any kind of uneven tension, then the c urling will also happen. Like already...
You're talking about setting up your scanner, monitor and printer so that the colors appear the same at all stages of your work. You need to use a color software like CMM (Heidelberg) or ColorSync...
Hi Vincent, I'm afraid of asking the obvious, but you have been looking for 5X7", have you also been looking for 13X18 cm?, the metric equivelent of 5X7"? You might want to look at the Brenner Foto...
I've seen the larger Patterson Printwasher, (which I THINK will accomadate 40X50 cm prints) on the German ebay. They've gone for about ?125. I have the smaller v ersion which takes prints up to...
I did similar work for several theaters here in Germany. I was "forced" to take the shots during dress rehearsals which meant no possibility of posed shots what so ever. At on top of that, the ...
I've used the software from Live Picture, and had excellent results. Unfortunatly, I can't remember the name of the software. Check out www. LivePicture.com I'm sure it's still listed. The retail...
You might want to look into Berlebach tripods which are easy to find in europe. They are wooden, nicely made and weigh less than 10 kilos. I think they are to be found under berlebach.de
Concerning focus shift, one way to get around it is to focus with the filter in place. BTW, Sinar shutters are made with a filter holder behind the lens.
They ARE in the book. Look at pages 126 and 127 for the formulas.
One reason to use filters behind the lens is, the rear element in many cases has a smaller diameter than the front element. Using my schneider 360 5.6 I'd need a filter somewhere around 125mm X...
I'm not sure why, but my "definition" did not appear on my last post. It went something like this. Dinosaur was not meant to refer to ones age but rather the "love" of the traditional methods of...
Definition of Dinosaur in this case: <Has nothing to do with age or mental state of mind but rather with ones love or respect for the "old fashion or traditional" way of doing photography>.
I'm...
I use D-D23 in deep tanks or with roll film, both HP5+ and FP4+ and love it. Thanks to David Stein for turning me on to this developing process.David also sent me quite a bit of info regarding this...
Josh, at 25 years of age, YOU are the ones I consider to be the "young students and next generation photographers". And DK, thanks for your support. I just wish that I was merely 10 years older...
Which camera are you refering to, 4X5 or 8X10"?
You guys who oppose the idea of using digital examples are the reason we are thought of as dinosaurs. Sure, who cares, as long as were all members of the same club, right? But look at what is...
If you have the equipment available, do the demo DIGITAL. This will make the who le process "seem" more up-to-date, and they can all relate to seeing images on a computer monitor. And a 20" Monitor...
I must admit, I don't know anybody who uses hardener in their fix. I've never seen the need to, and toning is more effective without it.
DK: My contact printer is set up with 16 bulbs, but is an older model, without the feature of being able to selectivly turn the bulbs on and off. I suppose it would be acceptable for AZO, but I'm...
I bought one of those industrial contact printers thinking that the "contact" between film and paper would be at it's best. And it is, but the loss of control when dodging and burning was not worth...
By taking nature photos, I allow myself the time to notice the beauty that is to be found in nature that at a "normal" time I wouldn't even notice. And by exhibiting such images, the viewer too is...

Create a gray circle and then fade the edges using the gaussian blur filter. By changing the pixel blur you can adjust the amount of "fade" you achieve.
I'm going to try and answer your question Beau. I too contemplated building tanks out of plexiglas. After pricing the materials, (including having the pieces cut to insure that all angles were...
Lotus is very good, but pretty expensive. Check out this site, and the links it provides. I ran across sources here in Germany that really blew me away!

This is a distributer in Berlin, and they have a VERY cold toned paper called Fomabrom which you might find interesting.
"Remember, 16x20 is only a four times linear enlargement from 4x5, or the equivelent of a 4x5 print from 35mm."
I'm a little confused. I always thought an 8X10" print from a 4X5" negative was a...
How about giving a compensating development process like split D-23 a try. I too shoot in high contrast situations and this developer allows me to read my shadows, place them around zone 4 and...
I think the comparison Tri-X and HP5+ would be a "fairer" comparison, both of the films being ASA400. I like both of them but use the HP5+ because it is more readily available in 8X10 and the...
I don't have an origional Zone VI dark cloth, but rather a homemade one using a similar design. When checking the GG with my loupe, I use the same opening as for my head because a small amount of...
I have to agree with Jim. Have a drum scan done at 800-1000dpi, retouch in PS have if you need a tranny, have one put out on a Fire 1000 or another similar system. Then you have both a high end...
Thanks Steve. And I like thie idea of a "Helpful Hint's" thread too.
Here's mine. While travelling a month ago, I realized that Murphy's Law is no joke. I had two 8X10 dark slides crack on me....
You will find that by placing the prints face down on the chrome sheets and insuring good contact by using a print roller, you will get a glossy finish by merely allowing them to air dry.
I've...
Properly exposed and developed Tri-X will give you a very nice 20X24. The addition film speed comes in handy when shooting LF and you find yourself consistantly stopping down to f32.
Tri-X will...
You can do one or the other, or both.
Look for the information found on the
Dust and spotting
section of the start page.
Although SLIGHT information can been seen on the negative, that does not necessarily mean that there is ENOUGH information to print. Negatives provide more information than papers. I think what...
Our Studio in Germany takes used chemicals to a re-cycling depot. Wether or not they are then properly "disposed of" in a earth-friendly matter or not, I don't know.
And doing the "right thing"...
