As a drying agent for electronics that are dropped in water, consider using Instant Rice. Regular uncooked rice has a high moisture content compared to instant rice which has all of the moisture...
Yep, seems to be endemic in the region. Go a couple more counties south and the D.A was running the narco racket back in the 90's. The Sheriff ran his enforcement. This according to my friend who...
There is a classic video of Ansel Adams using such a device: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQT_rzI1Xdw

These just get nicer and nicer.
As we live in a world where there are smart mirrors, (https://www.mirror.co/shop/mirror?utm_source=google_ads&utm_medium=google_shopping&utm_campaign=mirror_shopping) certainly there should be apps...
I've posted about this before. There are other threads on this forum but I'll post again. I used the method described by Dick Dokas, here: http://www.dokasphotos.com/techniques/ground_glass/ ...
For outstanding performance in a soft focus portrait lens, one should seriously consider the Tri Tran Signature Pictorialist Lens. This is a new lens just introduced in the last year. In head to...
We had a eerie red sun this morning in San Fernando Valley. Fires to the north and to the east of here. There is a hint of smoke in the air.
Welcome from Granada Hills! I am only a novice here but you could do much worse than taking a workshop with Matthew Blais. If you can get some time with him it will be well worth the effort to get...
Word is the area was quite nice before gold fever broke out, and then all hell broke loose. It took many decades for the land to begin to recover from such intensive human exploitation. These days...
I'll play. My home of California will never be what it once was and probably never was what it was once purported to be. My people got here in 1847 and full of good sense, stuffed their pockets...
Welcome! I'm in Granada Hills.
In lens selection, much depends on your style and sensibility. If you are at all interested in soft focus photography, I would suggest that you look no further than the Tri Tran Signature...
Great! I would like to shoot with you. Will send my deets by PM.
It's also known as "The Bridge to Nowhere" and was once a popular place for bungee jumping because of the remote location and near 10 mile (RT) hike to get there. Please understand that bungee...
The Tri Tran Signature Pictorialist Lens is a casket system with meniscus lens elements available in focal lengths from 9" to 30". To address this issue, the aperture scale is marked in Roman...
Wow. It is interesting to see the strong interest in the 11x14 format. I became heavily invested in the format with a nice Wisner camera, and many film holders, a few lenses too. But I found that...
Here are a couple of carbon transfer prints made at Yosemite with the Tri Tran Signature Lens. They were shot in Yosemite and printed in Ansel Adams' Darkroom as part of a workshop with Vaughn...
First, a scan of a negative (8x10 Shanghai 100) made using the Tri Tran Signature lens. Backlit aspens in a grove just outside of Lee Vining. I look forward to printing this image.

I researched several articles describing glass grinding and settled on the process described by Dick Dokas. I got a couple bags of Aluminum Oxide from willbell in 3 and 5 microns. That's been...
The most fearsome thing I've witnessed in the Redwoods (other than bigfoot) were the Dreaded Banana Slugs. They move fast and have enormous fangs for their size and have an insatiable appetite. Did...
This is a Tri Tran Signature Pictorial Lens. It is the first new true soft-focus lens produced in close to a century. I am lucky to have just received mine. There is much discussion of this lens...
Absolutely! The lens looks great on the camera, but it looks even better through the camera!!!
Loving my Ebony 810 RW camera!!! Apparently it had a colorful history, but I think it has a few good pictures yet to produce. I got it in incomplete condition and my good friend Jim Fitzgerald...
Here are a couple pictures of the TT Signature Lens System I received. As you can see, I ordered a few elements in a range of sizes to cover several formats. I could not be happier with it!!!
Not sure when my next visit will be but I will be sure to set up a meeting to show you the lens -- if you haven't already purchased one.
No worries. Just wanted to report on current airport situation, but can see how I left the story hanging. I am home in California now after a very quick trip.
Certainly Vietnam would be a nice...
Of course I do not want to discuss specific security protocols. It was quickly determined that I did not represent any kind of threat whatsoever and I was given time to repack my bags then wished a...
No Mystery about the film. I took it to Vietnam to give to photographers there to use. A non-
tax transaction may have occurred.
For anyone wanting to travel with a great soft-focus portrait lens which is not highly radioactive, might I suggest the Tri Tran Signature Pictorial Lens. ...
Certainly this subject has been discussed to death. So why not a little more?
I just took some film from Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City via Beijing. This is what I found.
I was Carrying 3...
Transiting through the Capital Airport in Beijing, China on my flight from Los Angeles to Ho Chi Minh City, I had the wonderful experience of meeting the Chinese anti-terror police. I had a lens,...
After picking mine (and many others) up at the factory, the first thing I did was take it to the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre 三影堂摄影艺术中心 in Beijing for show and tell in the pomegranate garden....
I was very happy to get mine (it has my name on it!). A huge debt of gratitude is owed to Tri Tran for pouring his heart and soul into making this dream a reality! ...
Yes. Tri Tran has recently introduced an all new line of soft-focus meniscus lenses. They come in a range of sizes from 9" to 30". Each one is handmade and finished to the highest standard. 9” is...
Today in Yosemite -- April 28 2019: The Dogwoods are in bloom. Quite full and persistent, especially in the western end of the valley. as many buds still on trees.
The falls remain...
Yes! in Vienna be sure to hit up Figlmüller's for the definitive schnitzel. It is that good.
FWIW, I tried several combinations and my camera was always shaky. Worse, I found that tripod heads with a single bolt that never tighten down enough to prevent the camera from twisting and gouging...
