I have an allotment and it is a very different culture.. Make do and mend, scratching a few fruit and veg and some flowers out of a patch of land about 20 yards square.
I must get down there early...
90, 240. I'd like a 135/150 and something over 400. I have an unapetured 300/4.5 that I have yet to use.. I might turn it into a fixed focus box for astro photography.

I have found that it depends on the location. For one shot I carried the kit in a 99p plastic bucket as I was working on some weed covered rocks. I had also changed into wellies first and by the end...
OK, my first foray into the delights of LF. I like available light night pictures and I also have a thing about paths and roads.. All images on FP4+ with D76 1:1 or neat and a touch pushed.

Which people?
It doesn't really matter. The post is very good up here so I use anyone I can. Someone I can walk in to could be good though.

I'm just getting into the whole LF thing and quite enjoying it - got me back into the darkroom processing film for the first time for ages.
I've done a lot of 35mm stuff before, picked up a...
I don't have a working light meter so have been using a p&s digital as a meter (Canon A60). I set it on apeture priority and it will give me a shutter speed. I can then translate that to apeture/ss...
I'm in Dundee. Scotland was made for the large format camera. I have a list of shots to go and get when the weather and light is just right (just got some back which i will post when I have been able...
Hi Jamie,
The key to successful sports photography is communicating the emotion. I am not a professional (I have a different career that pays the mortgage) but I did a lot of photography to add...
>I'm pretty used to cycling with a Bogen/Manfrotto 3221 strapped to my bag, but cringe at the thought of trying the same with my 3036. While the 3221 will support the monorail OK, the camera itself...
With a bit of simple math, that shutter could be calibrated appropriately.
Now, accelleration due to gravity is 9.8m/s^2 so if the opening starts at 10cm above the lens and stops at 14cm, that...
I've done similar before but only on digital. It is perfectly possible as long as you balance the light from the monitor and the rest of the scene. Typically this will be a much darker screen than...
Equation 3 (long form) in the intro (top of page 4) - should N (LHS) be the f-number, not the focal length?
Otherwise a very nice article.

Loved the Telemark tale, veldig flott!
The tangle of branches passed my by at first, probably because on screen it is too small and not high enough res. The nteh discussion of low depth of field...
Walts site was really depressing. I'm tempted to just pack up and go home. How can I ever aspire to be able to capture people in such a fantastic way. Every photograph is worth so much more than the...
4-3/4" by 4-7/8" is most definitely not 96 mm by 98 mm
That sounds interesting. The APO-Ronar I have looks like it has two identical elements on either side of the barrel, plus a non-lens glass panel that screws in to the front part of the lens. This is...
>If you won the auction I think you won, the other lens was a single-coated 240 mm APO-Ronar. A similar lens has been my mainstay >slightly long optic for a while now. Although I have a Sinar Copal...
I picked up a couple of process lenses and am keen to try them out. One of them (Zeiss S-Tessar 300mm/f5.6) has no iris so is wide open. Focussing the room light (strip light) on my desk I can see...
You may be missing a trick here.
The problem is that there is insufficient friction between the base of the caera and the tripod mount. Looking at the base of my just acquired CC400, the base has...
