Pack the camera, not just the ancillaries.

Hey cool, thanks for the link.
A friend at work saw this show, said it was excellent.

Oh, that's cool, Karl. Great composition, color and story. Beautiful.

That is really beautiful, Andrey.
Did you work from plans for that, or did you scale up from a model?
What did you use for hardware? I see what looks like cabinet door hinges, what about the...

Dear Mr. Broadbent,
Looking at your tearsheets, several of the images look very familiar.

I may have worked on your Maggi images (prepress) and I'm pretty sure that I retouched a shoot where the...

Engl, that is a brilliant shot. That is something I would hang on my wall.

The new site is excellent. Very clean and easy to navigate. The presentation gets out of the way of the content like a quiet, confident portfolio should.

Hi Navy Moose, I'm only a few miles away in Manchester. I don't know how interesting I would be, however, as I'm a true beginner and have yet to find more than an hour at a time to sneak away from my...

Wordpress is a very good option for most people. I personally love to roll my own, but often never get around to finishing the project. Usually this is because I overcomplicate things and lose sight...

Nadav Kander's images of Yangtze are wonderful and surreal. Changxing Island VI and Shanghai I are just amazing.

Sorry for my rather freshman descriptions of others' work.

I found the Mr Toledano and Greg Miller sites excellent.

Toledano's images of his father were particularly moving and Miller's images of Band Camp were great. Both took the very mundane (an aging...

Thanks, I ordered several of those books from the library today.

Wow, I like both examples, John Voss!

Bonnibenrubi had me thinking "wow, I wish I thought of that", while the "collapse" photo in susanspiritgallery is gorgeous.

There's a great book "How to...

One thing I really like about this forum is the level of reasoned debate, I always learn a lot here.

Working with the local design and arts colleges, I would say that many of the local professors...

Thank you, this is very enlightening. Where does someone like Jan Saudek fall in the grand scheme of things?

Barry, would you mind elaborating a bit on this thought? Are you saying that the artist's choice of media is equal so long as the finished product flows with the art market trends?

I have been working with commercial photography for over 20 years as a designer and retouch artist, and I have to tell you that I am in awe at the talent shown on this forum.

Well, Joseph, I love my Graphic View II. I think it is a beautiful and elegant piece of machinery and even enjoy just looking at it on the shelf. It took a good bit of work to get it cleaned up and...

There used to be an old, hulking wooden schooner in the river at Grey Maine, right on Route 1. It was right in the middle of the town and looked like the carcass of a massive whale. It's gone now. I...

I agree. When I saw the curves, I did a figurative head-slap. So simple, and yet I had forgotten all about it.

There is a halo effect that is very difficult to avoid. You can see it here in the reflection highlight on the floor that now appears to be solarized. This is what makes the question so complex.

I'll ask my buddy. I can visualize it in film using internegs, but can't quite translate it into a Photoshop workflow.

Oh! I see now. Hmmm.

Bob, Sorry that I misunderstood that you're doing BW only.
You could try adding a second channel that would be the threshold (in this case, a 20% gray). Using 'Calculations' you would add the...

The car itself it red. The green is the darkest shadows. Showing a film positive is a habit from working with screen printing (light exposure hardens the screen emulsion, the unexposed area washes...

Here is an example. I pulled the shadows from the K plate of a CMYK version, brought it into the master RGB file and colorized it as green to show where the second hit of shadow would fall.

We used to do a lot of this in screen printing, both with film masking and in Photoshop, building 8-12 color prints on black tshirts.

We used to start with a few of sets of identical files...

Well, Bruce, if I had much to share I would gladly do so. I consider myself a rank beginner as a photographer (trying to remember my classes from 20 years ago), and my children are small so we tend...

I realize that this thread is a bit stale, but I would like to thank you all for great advice. Neal, in particular, gave me a great starting point that I could not discern from books and other sites...

Oh, how I wish! I recall the kids worried that there would be no snow for Christmas.

Hi Vick,
Thanks for that information, I hadn't realized it. Yes the camera does take a standard 4x4, I can easily swap the New Vue board and I've make a wood-and-brass pinhole board as well.

What...

Hi gang, thanks for the warm welcome!
I'm in "Manchester By The Mill", as opposed to "Manchester By The Sea".

Brian, I will certainly look into x-ray film, I had no idea. Well worth pursuing.

I lived in Prague for several years (Holesovice, and up by Hvezda chateau), now live in USA. We visit regularly. I remember Louny very well, my wife and I had a long hike in that beautiful region...

Nazdar, Pavle! (Ahoj, Andreios!) I am new here as well.
Where are you in CZ? My wife is from Podebrady, and I am very much looking forward to taking my 4x5 there on our upcoming trip this summer....

Hi everyone!
My name is Bill and I'm a graphic designer. I used to run stat cameras and did all kinds of reprographics and film separations for a sportswear company back in the late '80s.

I've...

Hello everyone,
Would you please enlighten me as to dilution ratios? I think this is a Rodinal formula, and many people recommend dilutions of 1:50 or 1:100.

The Freestyle camera page recommends...
