I just bought 2 Speedotron power supplies plus 3 flash heads and I'm having a devil of a time finding a decent price for shipping from Minneapolis to Louisiana. Any suggestions?
I've only seen one person obtain good results. I tried it and it was a total waste of time and money. You're better off going for the real thing, as I did along with hundreds of others when the fad...
Michael, What is a -2 tripod head?
Is this the Manfrotto support arm you mentioned? I have one and it works fairly well....
Yep, the decorator said they want to put tintypes on their walls.
I'm assuming the decorator will want to make frame choices, but I need to clarify that as well.
I've worked for TV shows and...
I have been approached by an interior decorator who saw my website and she wants to use my tintype images in a new boutique hotel.
Sounds great, but I don't have a clue about pricing for this type...
Tinting with what Robert? I've tinted salt prints with watercolors, but the glossy albumen surface doesn't allow the watercolors to penetrate like the surface of salt prints.
I have logged off and on twice, and I cannot reply to items for sale. What's the deal.

One of my old gra lab timers keeps going after the sweep hand gets to zero. Is the repair easy for that problem?
Somewhere I read those numbers indicate the increase of exposure for the smaller aperture. So if the exposure with the lens wide open were 2 seconds, the 3 would indicate the exposure would be 6...
I took a Kodak 2d extension and widened it for an 11x14 century. It works ok if I keep everything on one continuous surface.
I didn't say I was cutting Windows. Just for cutting boards to size.
Will this Saunders cut mat board? The write up says it will cut up to 3mm.

I've had a similar problem with a Century 11x14 when the back is positioned in the vertical mode. I always make sure the spring is pushing down on the holder adequately and I also keep the back...
Still not big enough.
You're right. I was looking at outside measurement of the case, not the interior dimensions.
Here's another

I just bought a Chamonix 11x14, and after spending that kind of money, I want good protection. Here's what I'm looking at:

Count me in. Albumen from wet plate negatives
I tried it for collodion chloride and the results weren't good
Paper is a big factor. I use Crob'Art paper from France. It's thin and doesn't absorb a lot of liquid. You can't buy it in the U.S. Even in Paris last October, I couldn't find it at the store where...
Trays for water heaters would also work.
Use an air wrench and you can have it bolted up in just a few seconds, and tighten that thing down to 100 foot pounds.
First off, thanks guys for the tips. Our hotel was only a block from the Phillips, so we saved that for the last day. Excellent exhibit with a good sampling of styles. But the paintings were...
Lots of musicians around the courthouse square. Nice river views on the White River. Blanchard Springs cavern and campground. Nice trails.
Monty, I live about 2.5 hours west of New Orleans but I go there regularly to shoot and visit. Let me know next time you're in town and I'll bring my outfit to make images.
You're near this gallery too: http://www.c4fap.org
Digital only on this trip. They won't let me carry collodion on airplanes.
Thanks Mark. I'll make sure I make it by the Phillips for sure.
I'm going to DC during the July 4 holiday (2nd through 7th) and I want to see photography. Any gallery/exhibit recommendations? I see a really good show is now at the National Art Gallery.
I'd also...

I'm not sure working gold toner has a very long shelf life of more than a few days? I could be wrong, and would like to mistaken since Gold toner is pricey. I wonder too about the 20 mule team and...
Spoiler alert, sorta: wasn't it strange he did dags and had a repeating rifle? Would have been more plausible for him to do tintypes?
Definitely dark and bleak.
Pale rider goes to the alps.
What did you end up getting Jac?
I've had a dorff. Too floppy
I've never tried anything but Ilford Gold Fibre Silk, and I like it, but could be persuaded to use another. Is there a reason no one else mentioned it?
That figures. I built mine a few months ago with tubes, but this would be much easier and cheaper. I'm going to explore supplementing my tubes with some LED strips.
To make good negatives for albumen/salt requires super-clean glass and well filtered albumen if you sub the glass, Then there's the intensifying, an exercise in patience and an investment in time. ...
Yes, it will but I'm not sure I'd want to make wet plate negatives without first learning to make positives. I usually make a positive image as a test plate and one I get a good image, I'll make the...
