Re: Images shot on X-ray film
I agree a X-Ray component to http://www.largeformatphotography.info/ would be useful for all and particularity helpful to newbies.
There are a couple, this decade, additions to http://www.largeformatphotography.info/. But room for more. imho
It could start as a collaborative thread where we gather data and later get a good writer to make a lasting document. As lasting as anything is in these fading days of film.
Is anybody interested that has extensive knowledge of modern photographic uses of X-Ray materials?
I am not that person.

I happen to know he is very busy.
We need a volunteer not a recruit.

Yes granted I imagine he would be, his work is inspiring, more a compliment given than a recruitment drive.
Re: Images shot on X-ray film
Thanks, guys, but I don't really have much of experience with various types of Xray - i just tried couple and stuck with one i liked :) Same went with process, as soon as I found way to do it with same results and worry less about process and more concentrate on shooting - i stick with it :) But if it would help to anyone i can certainly write it up.
Most likely i am going to revive my site with blog in next two weeks, and draft of this will go there anyway.
Also if you happen to be near Dallas - we working on getting studio space that would also double as educational base - starting to look at spaces, while Lana is working out business details ;)
More portraits might come after this Saturday - i am getting out for first time since septembe. Huzzah.

That sounds great Sergei.
I did not mean to step in your way. :)

Re: Images shot on X-ray film
A few years ago, I started writing an article, put the idea out there, but there was no response. So, I figured my time was better spent exposing and printing the stuff than writing about it.

I think the time is right for this.
Lately we have had many requests from newbies about X-Ray and the traditional response here has been. "Go read the 2 X-Ray threads in their entirety". Those threads are huge.
I have done that, but it did not make me an expert. The threads are daunting in length and contradiction.
Andrew, Sergei and others could help many newcomers with a article on LF Front Page http://www.largeformatphotography.info/
Maybe address types and which actual films people use by continent as labeling is customized for marketing confusion.
Keep the chemistry and processing simple and cheap for beginners. Rodinol in trays, under red LED?
I'm out.
