Hi ic-racer, Could you tell who manufactures your adapter?
I am considering paying for the manufacturing of 1000mm rear element lens for the Nikkor T-ED 600/800/1200mm convertible lens. My motivation is because of the 400mm jump from the 800mm rear element...
The anti-static brushes do less to remove static charge than prevent additional static charge from building.
I do mural size enlargements and dust removal is critical. Here are the things I do...
Here are some pics of wild horses I snapped south of Blanca Colorado along with my llamas. My entire LF body of work is shot in the back country. Enjoy...
I do big stuff all the time. Big sells for me. I have spent a great deal of time ten years ago examining and testing the differences between 4x5, 5x7, 4x10, and 8x10. This includes lenses,...
Have you ever thought about using pack animals such as llamas, goats, or donkeys?
I have two llamas. Each llama can carry around 100 pounds plus I carry a 50 pound backpack for a grand total of...
Corona, You are correct that there was an arrogance on my part, and for that, I would like to apologize. However, from a person who once made a living as a research software engineer in the virtual...
It all quite simply. For those who are mesmerize by the virtual world of their cell phones, laptops, or desktops, and who are unaware of their real world surroundings, then viewing your prints in...
I have never sold a photograph to a photographer before. People who buy my work are upper middle class or wealthier, and most of them have never purchased a photograph before as art to hang on their...
I agree that portrait and social documentary would be very difficult to sell as decorative art unless you were famous. That said, these types of images fall into a category that I call informative. ...
Absolutely true. Many, but not all, of the images I thought would sell well did not. And those that moved me turned out to be great sellers. You never know what will happen once we enter the...
Acknowledging the wealth of knowledge that reside here at this site, I would like to pose the question of “what makes a photograph sellable?” Before responding please state your area of interest...
I am considering cold storage for my spare JOBO ATLs and Fujimoto CP-51s. I have drained all water form all water lines and coils. Does anyone know if cold storage will damage these machines?

I am a believer in lubricants. All parts lubricated will operate smoother and last much longer. For all of my LF cameras parts, I use CRC Heavy Duty Silicone lubricant. Its working temperature...
Gaff tape works really good for below as well.
Stone, both tents have a gutter system above the the zipper on each vestibule. Any runoff on the fly is diverted to the ground at the bottom of the entrance. As a result, I have never gotten wet...
Hi, Stone. My MSR Elixir 2 man tent worked real nice. The highly reflective opaque silver fly and the opposing double doors allowed for reflection of light and cross ventilation respectfully to...
I am one of the extreme types that post everything about the photograph on my website. This includes location data, GPS coordinates, sit data, camera and tripod configuration, film type, all printing...
Hi Stone,
I ended up purchasing the MSR Elixir 2 man tent because it uses heavier more durable materials. It does weigh more by about a pound, but with llamas that is not an issue. The bottom line...
I have just upgraded my PLB from a Spot to the InReach SE which allows two way email up to 160 characters. When a SOS is triggered the agency can query me about my circumstances and determine the...
At the time I bought the titanium coffee press, it was the only small camping press on the market. I think now there are other less expensive ones available. Lets face it, just about everything we do...
With my Trangia methanol/alcohol stove I always used a MSR aluminum wind break to minimize the heat loss from wind and drastically increase the efficiency of the stove.
You are probably correct, there could be a lot of movement causing everything inside to flop around. I do not think your table is practical either at 5.6 pounds.
Here is another idea that is...
I thought about using plastic corrugated board and fashioning an accordion that would fold out to make a platform. My tent is 36"x27". I would cut 4 pieces of 36"x6.75" that would be taped together...
The tent in my picture is the standard size for 8x10.
[QUOTE=Drew Wiley;1119799]Gosh, Willard, that whole storage thing is driving me nuts right now./QUOTE]
Here is an attic lift I intend to make and install in my two story out building for storing...
There are two types of film changing bags or tents.
The film bag is the one that is used in labs to put roll film into film tanks for development. These types of bags have no skeleton to keep...
Just for the record, I sent my Nikon binoculars in to have the eye optics replaced about a month ago because they were badly scratched. The binoculars were over 20 years old, and they repaired them...
No, I do not use an additional ground cloth.
A few years back I was cleaning my MSR dragonfly stove at the end of the season, and I stripped the nozzle threads on it. They sent me a new stove for...
Okay, we have covered a lot of stuff on this string including bear spray, tents, lovers, stoves, tripods, and cameras. However, there has been one big omission in large part, and that is a way to...
I always buy one, and I intend to get one for the MSR Hubba Hubba NX-2 when I purchase it.
Drew, I am considering building a two story out building adjacent to my house. The lower have will be a framing shop and the upper half is for general storage. I am also considering outfitting it...
The Trangia alcohol stoves are designed to reduce spillage if you knock it over. However, they can explode in a small flame (not like a bomb) if they are red hot and you jar them. The jarring...
You do not need to stake a tent down in freight train rains, but you do need to properly anchor your tent when you are experiencing hurricane winds.
I suspect that most have or know about bivy...
Printing and framing large prints is exponentially more difficult. To me 20x24 prints are small prints and easy to do, but 20x50 or 30x40 prints is whole different ball of wax. I make color prints...
If Ti stands for Titanium then beware that Titanium does not conduct heat well so it is not optimal for cooking. I have a Titanium french coffee press that I love. It is lighter than aluminum,...
This is an alternative solution to the ultralight LF photography. It is similar to a posting I made earlier.
There are many basins that are very big and five to six miles from a road. They have...
Hey Peter, I just cleaned out my mail box. Thanks for letting me know....
Okay now back to ultralight backpacking. The views that I am about to share with you could be contentious. About ten years ago I bought a Big Agnes air mattress. It was amazingly light and very...
