About 8 years ago I had to get my 4x5 up about 10 or so feet high and I used my Bogen tripod, the one with cine double upper legs with leg extensions. I don't remember the model number of the tripod...

For me, 8x10 represents a stronger commitment to the image.
And besides, looking at an image on that big-ass piece of glass is just cool!
I confess I haven't read the previous 21 pages so this may have already been listed but for me the worst word is "photo-bug" and "shutter-bug". Where the hell did that come from?
I've hated...
Wow! I need to consider switching to decaf!!! :o :o
Yes, thank you Keith, I am actually trying to find a cable release socket for my Schneider lens.
Thank goodness it's Friday!
Thanks...
I am looking for the tripod socket for a Schneider 121mm Super Angulon. My local repairman can't seem to find one. The socket that is on the lens only holds about 1 1/2 threads so the cable release...
I built one in one corner of my old studio and made the long curved portions (where the wall met the floor) out of hard board (peg board without the holes.) I also used hardboard where the walls...
Several years ago, I was shooting from the top of a parking garage with my Hasselblad 500c and my beautiful 40mm wide angle. I needed a longer focal length for the next shot so as I was taking off...
Years ago I lost my Hasselblad Polaroid back. Had to go buy a new one for a shoot. About two days later I got a call from a client asking if I knew what this flat silver and black thing was. It...
As a resident of Las Vegas, I felt a bit of clarification might be in order, I hope you don't mind Tom.
The neon bone yard is actually curently under construction and I don't know when the...
I wish you well Domenico. I had the pleasure of a visit to your home country last year and yes, you will continue to shoot there- Italy has much better light!
Good luck and safe travels.

If using a large format camera were only about developing film and printing negatives I could see your point but as I tell my students, the fact that our cameras capture on film rather than a silicon...
Thank you again to all who are participating in this discussion.
I do need to stress that no decision has yet been made. In fact, it has pretty much dropped off the radar. When the discussion...
Thank you to all who have contributed their information and insights in answering my question. I am a photography professor at the College of Southern Nevada and while 95% of our curriculum is now...
Perhaps some street photography like urban landscape images? The detail captured in a well created large format image can be quite compelling.
Best,

Yes, I agree that assistants are there to work and be paid for their efforts. But there is also an implied agreement that some sort of teaching will occur. Having said that, I personally don't see...
Hello,
I am trying to gather some info about how many people are using a view camera in their commercial photography business. The format doesn't matter. I'm trying to get a feel for how many...
I like your horizontal thumbnail bar. I personally hate those that scroll. I can never get them to stop scrolling so I can select an image to see larger. The older I get the lower my frustration...
Not to take this discussion too far off-topic, but I recently found out that the Mac version of Adobe Lightroom 3.0 will be only for Intel Macs. Any older Mac with the Power PC chipset will NOT run...
Melissa,
When you buy your lens, take note of what shutter it comes mounted to. This will tell you what size hole is necessary to mount your lens. Then buy a lens board with that sized hole and...
I taught two architectural photography workshops for the Rocky Mountain School of Photography in Missoula, Montana over two summers. Their workshops bring in a large number of students and I can't...
It seems the issue has been resolved; whether by your darkening the shiny strip or being more careful with darkslide removal.
One thing I did notice was how you displayed your camera back. In the...
About three weeks ago, I was at the San Juan Capistrano Mission and had my dslr with me in my photo backpack. Several times I changed lenses which meant I had to stop, take off the pack, open it,...
Kumar,
Very nice site and VERY NICE images. I hadn't heard of the software you used but I think that images must stand on their own and yours certainly do.
A client once told me he appreciates...
I have shot more commercial photos of the Las Vegas strip than I can count, mostly with 4x5, and two things have happened more often than I could have imagined:
1. Security folks freak out when...
If I may, the above qoute and others like it are the reason I wrote "Randy's Law" which states:
The quality of a photograph is inversly proportional to the proximity of a camera.

I like the look of the Fuji, but then I love contrasty images.
I just checked Adorama's site and they are out of stock at the moment. For those who purchased from Adorama, how long ago was...
I don't know about the tri-color sep thing but in addition to Photoshop, I also use Lightroom. At my college, we have our classrooms set up with iMacs for student use and they run PS (actually the...
I think your design and attention to detail is very good! I'm anxious to see how all of this comes out.
Best of luck,
Randy
I live in Las Vegas...(yes, That Las Vegas)
In the desert...(109 two days ago)
I'd love to have cool and rainy summer weather... :o
Oh well, November isn't that far away...
We hope to be...
They may have taken it out of Bridge, but it wasn't in Photoshop at all. There was, or perhaps still is a link on Adobe's site to download it and put it back. The college I teach at changed over to...
I'm not one to jump onto a company just because others have, but what in the name of all that is holy was Adobe thinking when they got rid of making contact sheets in Photoshop CS4? True, they did...
I probably missed it in an earlier post but why hasn't anyone mentioned using a front tilt? After all, being able to manipulate planes of focus to reduce our dependance on depth of field is one...
There is also the "quick disc" found online.
Daniele,
I will be in Venice on Tuesday the 19th...
I too am interested in seeing what the tourists don't!

Pako drum dryers!
Ah the memories...

The room is a bit small but with softboxes, it could work. Smallish softboxes. Umbrellas would have too much spill for such a small room. I would also limit your shooting in a room this size to...
One of my teaching colleagues prints a book based on images taken by students. The class is about documenting Las Vegas. All of the images are digital color and they use Blurb as the online...
