easiest option is probably still leather. get some vegetable-tanned leather, soak it in water, stretch it over the end of the lens with a layer of saran wrap under it to protect the lens, add some...

just being round and having less of the light coming straight from the tube will give a noticeably smoother look.

dropped mine less than two feet and it snapped in half. replaced it with a thin sheet of frosted plastic from a broken lcd monitor sandwiched between the fresnel and a sheet of plain acrylic. gives a...

i hate having to repeat myself. i AM taking focus shift into account! this is the same arrangement as a speed graphic. the original position of the fresnel was between the gg and lens, with the plain...

if the fresnel and gg are the same thickness, you can mount the gg in front as long as the frosted side is on the back. the fresnel can be installed either way or left out if you want.

with a full-sized tripod i would just invert the center column. 229591

film is not a pig. there's nothing inherently inferior or inauthentic about using modern materials to create a look that was traditionally done some other way.

it'll get him most of the way there and is a necessary step unless he has access to colour blind film. the rest is just a matter of how he exposes and develops the film.

you recommended not using a technique that will give a similar look to wet plate and instead using a film that won't... so yes.

wet plate is not orthochromatic or "red blind". it's a plain silver halide emulsion, uv, violet and blue sensitive. a blue-violet passing filter will work fine.

nighttime street photography. if street lights, cars and shop windows don't cause any problems, nothing will. take at least one shot with some out of focus small lights to see if the spots are...

f/6.3 will be easier to focus, and 305mm will be easier to use in tight spaces.

i use cobs, not bulbs.

no, those aren't cross-eye viewable, period. the left eye view is on the left and the right eye view is on the right. if you view them with your eyes crossed, you'll get a jumbled mess of things...

those aren't cross-eye viewable.

if you add a timer you can have it shut it off to defrost in the middle of the night.

11x14 should fit any standard mini fridge.

wikipedia's right, that's more or less how it works.

industar-51, or an 8" or 8.5" buhl projector lens. you'll have plenty of cash left over for the separate shutter you'll need.

either way, a light sanding and a fresh coat of flat black paint with a little extra in the cracks couldn't hurt.

take a photo with the film loaded notched side first and tray develop it. if there's no light band, it was a development issue. if the light band is still at the same end of the fim holder, it's an...

broken lcd tvs are a great source of high quality diffusion materials.

mine's tinier than yours. :p

too much math for me. i'd just keep all the settings the same and vary the number of exposures per step, 1/1/2/4/8, with a half stop nd filter covering half the image.

frosted plastic won't diffuse the light as evenly as milky white plastic, so i'd be more worried about a hotspot than seeing texture.

that analogy makes no sense. a photo is equivalent to a song, not a note. if you're tuning your fiddle or adjusting your lights, it makes perfect sense to check the results before playing a song or...

use a large enough sheet of paper that you can wrap it around the edges of the panel and tape or staple it to the back, and add a layer of chemically neutral plastic or something between the paper...

work on your reading comprehension, because you didn't address my points directly or disagree with anything i said.

you're not telling me anything i haven't known for decades, or disagreeing with anything i actually said, so why did you bother with that long-winded, condescending comment?

you don't.

watt-seconds isn't any more of a marketing ploy than the wattage listed on an incandescent bulb. it's just a measure of power input to give you a rough idea of the flash's output. guide numbers are...

wet plate grain structure is outside my area of expertise.

the narrower the spectrum the less chromatic aberration you get. uv has higher potential resolution than longer wavelengths. wet plate has extremely fine grain and high contrast.

and the contacts behind the bipin connector, and the switch that breaks the circuit when the shutter release isn't being pressed, under the cover plate on the side.

they're reliable if all the contacts are clean.

adding this to my list or reasons to like my speed graphic. :p

gel the backlight to correct the orange cast. it's a lot easier to do colour corrections in software if you start out with all three channels properly exposed and you can correct the colour cast more...

if you want your trays and whatever else level, you could just add a little level strip around the sides of the sink to support wire mesh shelving or those plastic grids they put on ceiling light...
