Hi all,
Thanks for the tips/suggestions/photos. We've been here since last Friday evening, and I love it! South shore so far, Halifax tomorrow, Digby end of the week....Too much to see and not...

Hi all,
You're right, two weeks isn't enough, but it will have to do. My original plan was to do Nova Scotia, Cape Breton Island and Prince Edward Island; someone talked some sense to me a short...

Hi all,
Planning a trip to Nova Scotia Sept. 1st to the 13th. We're driving so I can bring the big cameras. Any suggestions/warnings/tips are welcome. Thanks.

Thought I'd like to add to this thread. Its been raining a lot, so I thought I'd play with a new (to me) Whole Plate Criterion View. 21cm. Zeiss Tessar, approx 45 sec. Scanned, but not yet cleaned...

I love it!

I can attest to the value of help from eddie - by the time I met him, I was ready to get out of photography altogether. Since then, I've gone into things and met other photographers I never would...

Taken early last fall, just developed. This is a quick scan from an 8X10 contact print. I'm trying to get a little discipline in me and getting back behind the camera and into the darkroom.

Same cemetery, same camera.

The film is something I got from *bay some time ago; its Kodak, the seller said to rate it at 40 ASA, and its actually 3 1/4" X 4", a little bit short. I rated it at 25...

Trying to get out and use the cameras, and develop the film, rather than thinking about it and buying more stuff...

This is from a historic cemetery near Saugerties - Asbury Methodist Cemetery.

Hi all,
I didn't want to be left out of the postings, so better late than not at all. I had a great time at the party; met some pretty cool people, ate some good BBQ, looked at some great stuff (a...

Hey,
Its one of those rare day's; I don't have anything on the calendar yet, so... I'm in!

Hello,
I have a 150mm f:3.5 Tessar up on the forum if you're still looking. In a very nice Compur dial set shutter.

My first VanDyke print (well, the first half decent one of the three I did). Looking forward to a great year doing more of this! Happy New Year all!

One photographer and one Art director, the cropped version is spectactular in its immediacy. Like a ?Halsman? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Einstein

When my hair started turning gray a few...

I have the feeling I'll be helping getting the lenses "dialed in." Guess I'll be trimming the nose hairs, too. Wanna look good for my 15 minutes...
Al

Definitely NOT shaving, just a trim. I am a little too self-conscious for too many pictures, but Eddie helps take the fear out of it, and maybe I can learn how to make someone else relax on that side...

Hi all,
Had a great evening doing some still life' with Eddie in his 'studio.' Quite an experience for me as I'm used to outdoor, available light, landscape sort of work. Still life and studio...

Hi all,
This is a 200+ y/o Locust tree in the village of Saugerties, NY. Having a good time with the paper negs.
Al

Hi all,
Wonderful images! I am really looking forward to learning a lot here!

I'm playing a lot with an 8X10 2-D, paper negatives, and some different lenses I have kicking around here.

I...

Hi all,
The images I've seen on this forum are truly inspirational!
These two are at Glenerie Falls in upstate NY. I'm "playing" with an 8X10 2-D and an old Darlot projection lens. The images...

53. Fell in love with photography, the darkroom, black and white, and the cameras in school (graduated 2001, Ulster County Community College). LF off and on since then, but a lot more seriously since...

Thanks for letting me know about this. Diane and I would love to join the group for this. I'll be able to put the film holders I got from you to good use! Al

Thank you all for the welcome! I'm very happy to be here.


Al

Thanks, eddie for the invitation; I'd love to go, but some things requiring some real attention on my part prevent me from going out to play Saturday. Hopefully the next time isn't too far off in the...

Hi All,
I've been sort of hanging around the fringes of LF forum for a while here trying to learn and get some inspiration. I met eddie gunks here in Saugerties, NY a while back, and he and his...
