But this stuff isn't hard to figure out. I wrote a cut plan module for Fuji about ten years ago for their SAP system that figured out exactly this kind of thing for a quote. Ok, granted that was for...

Love the street scene in the middle.

I do see that the exposure with the ghosting is in the shadow end of the range, not the highlight end.

I wonder what the roll off for the toe is like. Once you get the process kind of solid - and...

Man, no kidding. I remember this stuff too. Many, many of the women in eastern NC dipped snuff instead of smoking, my grandmother included.

Somewhere I have an old tin of "Sweet Society" snuff,...

This is also good advice. Years ago I started with fiber because there was no such thing as RC paper. Then I had a multidecade hiatus raising kids and came back to find that fiber wasn't as easy to...

Just from a practical view I suggest you choose either Ilford or Freestyle's Arista.edu. Both will be around for the duration.

HP5 is a great place to start.

I quit selling anything on eBay several years ago because of this exact reason.

If I'm buying something and the vendor doesn't like Paypal then I'm perfectly happy to do something different for...

Well I'll admit that I have been collecting stuff to do it.

While I certainly don't claim to be an expert, this has been my experience too. I've probably developed 25 sheets of film in Unidrum cans, and chemical immersion for the back side doesn't seem to be...

Try using a Unidrum to process. I just saw some go on eBay cheap. But others are priced like a kings ransom. Stay away from those.

I have been able to process four 8x10 sheets with no problems...

And you can work under the proper safelight so cutting instead like TMax

The green and blue designations indicate which type of holder to use for real X-ray work.

The holder has a coated plate that is fluorescent, and glows on the xray beam. While some of the xrays...

Green film basically gives one the same spectral response of the old "ortho" film from yesteryear, (Or current ortho film for that matter.)

Blue film is an even more restricted color sensitivity,...

With some of the insane prices I see on eBay I think I can retire if I sell the stuff.

Somebody had an FR sheet film tank listed for nine hundred dollars a few weeks ago.

I think it was...

You mean they're not? Drat!

It is awesome.

I seem to recall that there was some 8x10 single sided green sensitive. But it's a search finding it in the thread. Probably easier to find it at the supply houses.

It's true the single sided was...

I think what is happening is that the community is discovering the techniques used by our forefathers who had only ortho film.

I agree with Peter. Keeping the camera at head height is for your mind's eye. Specifically it puts you on an equal plane with the subject.

Forget about all that. You aren't having a conversation...

I think Chris's experiments with the computer monitor masks were a good start toward autochromes.

It is probably possible. But I think a reasonable analogy would be that it's like expecting to qualify for a NASCAR race without ever learning to drive on city streets.

Well, I bought my first Kodak 127 from the back of a Nestles Quick box in 1962 with dimes I saved from my daily school lunch money by skipping ice cream. So I'm a bit younger than you, but we're both...

I wonder if LF film photography could count as a vanishing culture?

Where do I apply for government aid?

Photography was always - except for a very brief period - a hobby for the wealthy.

Eastman pushed consumer photography to the masses with "special occasion" marketing. The Kodak moment like...

Was Kodak asking Congress for help?

Isn't that going to have a rather small image circle?

Hey, now this is a piece of good news. I knew that there was a prism in old TV cameras, but they're scarce today.

How big is this thing?

I do see the point for larger negative sizes. But I've only recently started testing the waters there myself. I have a functional B&J 5x7 and a half-way functional home made 8x10. And some grand...

I've thought about all this before, and maybe I just don't shoot enough film. But I just consider that a sheet of film is a "generous" sized frame, and then I crop it like crazy in the dark room.

FWIW, the above Kodak ClinicSelect Green X-ray film was until recently named KODAK Medical X-ray Film / 5156 / MXG and the data sheet that I linked to in my earlier post is for this film. ...

I couldn't read the whole article on the subscriber website, but there was a little discussion about Kodak's further red ink this reporting period, and the fact they are even more aggressively trying...

Not sure exactly where to put this, but Keith Canham contacted me that he's got a new co-op going for TMY2.

I got my 8x10 from the last one some time ago, and I won't be ordering this time. But...

I've been doing a few experiments with half speed blue film, and I've tried both stripping the emulsion off the back and leaving it on to increase density.

The biggest issue I have is that I...

I got this from Sorin just a few days ago when I wrote to him directly.

While the X-rays can naturally ionize the halides, most medical X-ray procedures use a special film holder that has a screen which fluoresces in the presence of X-rays and helps expose the film. This...

If you aren't going through the whole body scanners, and it's getting harder to predict, I find that sticking 120 film with it's plastic rolls in my shirt and pants pockets are never questioned.

These look pretty good. There seems to be a number of types of 100 NIF emulsions.

Are any of these designations on the film? (No, I don't know what they mean, I just found them with Google.)

I'll second Folly Beach and the Unitarian church on Archdale. I have a house on Folly, and I'm a member of the Unitarian church.

The fishing pier on Folly offers interesting angles as well. Plus...

If you have the money, you can buy almost anything that's manifest.

Have you made any contact prints from them with both emulsions still on?

The chlorine bleach trick works pretty well, frankly, but it is an awful lot of trouble. If both images are in reasonable...
