If you can't have a darkroom, you NEED an 8x10Originally Posted by Dominique Labrosse
Andrew, if I had a darkroom then I'd print in it. However, my current domestic situation (both socio-political and physical) does not permit for one. I might be able to get away with some contact printing... hmmm should have bought an 8x10.

After reading Al Weber's book, I'd have to say to stop procrastinating & get out in the field more.

Three years ago I took care of several field gear and method issues that raised my view camera work up several notches. However with that success, I stopped recording my exposure information as I was becoming amazingly accurate with few poor exposures. Then later I began to broaden the range of subject targets including some more difficult low light situations that I'm not as accurate with. I used to print out a chart with blanks fields to pencil in information on each shot. However in the heat of battle, that is a nuisance I was quick to eliminate. I'm a firm believer in reviewing exposure settings versus developed film for outdoor landscapes and archiving the information for future use. Now I need to start the habit of recording exposure information again and am determined to figure out a way to do so more quickly. ...David
No, more like spending money on photography gear. Money spent on photography is a different matter, but most of us (I may be an extreme case myself) have far more gear than we could possibly need!One habit I could break? You mean like spending money on photography?
Ole, you are worthy of great respect for many things, not the least of which is not being "in denial" about your gear-acquisition syndrome.
This is probably very true
Pushing the envelope. Photography is a creative pursuit, but too often I shoot from the same perspective or photograph similar scenes.
