sorry to hear it Michael, hope you mend up soon
I imagine that once I've done a few I might look at the Lodima paper or similar, any touch of quality to set work apart is always welcome. I guess the price issue is also related to all the other...
thanks guys, good info to be going on with
Have had the makings of a darkroom for the last few months and keen to do some contact printing, aside from Ilford are there any other brands of fibre-based paper i should look at? I have some ideas...
that's a shame Andrew, it will be shown elsewhere later in the year but i don't know where or when yet. I have an exhibition of different work in Bandon, Co. Cork on the last weekend in September-...
thanks for the kind words
Thanks for the kind words David
Nice coverage of the project in the Irish Times, one of our broadsheets:
http://www.irishtimes.com/news/ireland/irish-news/1916-portraits-of-the-descendants-1.2768631

slightly off topic, but a very affordable option for us togs is pixelrights.com, nice templates, cheap, easy and they have excellent image protection
Loved the image of the abandoned farmhouse, you just don't see that kind of building over here (Ireland) wooden houses tend not to last long in our drizzly climate, nice, clean website- well done
To any LF-ers based in Ireland or visiting Ireland, you're welcome to the opening of my exhibition "Project1916" at the "Main Guard", Clonmel, Co. Tipperary, Fri 26th August at 7pm. Exhibition runs...
Can't seem to find the guidelines
relisted items today (14th) that were originally listed on the 2nd and closed the original threads
How long from original posting before I can relist? as it's...
thanks Bob and drew- good suggestions
That's great Ed, thanks, is it safe to assume that the maxiportrait can take a standard cambo graflock type back as well as the polaroid back?
Two items in one thread
Have sold my 5x7 camera and 8x10 gear and am going to stick to 4x5 for the foreseeable future, in addition to various medium and small formats.
I shoot mostly...
how about fomafoto.com, based in Norway, good prices, fast delivery, shipping costs are reasonable, I buy from him all the time. He only carries Foma of course, so.....
to the mods, does lowering a price on a FS item (within 7 days) constitute a premature bump?
FWIW there's a Masters in Documentary Photography at the London College of Communication, 2 years part-time, taught online, I did it myself, excellent course and tutors. The fees I'm sure will be...
loads of great suggestions, thanks guys, I have a friend who makes Mandolins, so he might be a good place to start. Cheers, D
Thanks Sean, might take you up on that, cheers, D
I've had an inkling for a few years to build a camera, maybe 11x14 or larger, I'd like to do most if not all the work myself. I'm not in a rush, but here's the catch
I am literally starting from...
Thanks for watching ray and for the kind remarks, damian
thanks Kumar- kind of you to say so
Although I've been playing with moving image since 2009, I rarely receive commissions but it was nice to get one before xmas, you can see the finished product here:...
Yeah pretty good, I've been staying away tbh, my presence is bound to jinx the multimedia station. Thankfully the cost of the show was built into the original commission. I was glad to exhibit it but...
"Minimal acclaim" was tongue-in-cheek, I have no expectations of fame and fortune from shows, or publications, The two week duration is because the bureaucratic machine took so long to agree on a...
After much bureaucratic wrangling I finally got to exhibit my community portrait studio/storyhouse (www.cobhstories.com) opened last Friday night, to minimal acclaim, running for two weeks in Cobh,...
Thanks , I knew about MPEX, but at $45 for shipping it makes it very expensive. I'm talking to a member here who may be shipping one to me which would lower the cost. I did find a guy a guy who used...
there's a guy called Stephen Shuart who makes glass, reasonably priced: berkeley69@icloud.com he's based in Nantucket or Martha's vineyard. I used his glass in the past for a Seneca 5x7 and a...
Trawling through the archives I came across the name Gary Deal, in Kansas, who used to make Busch lensboards, does anyone know him or have contact details, thanks in advance, Damian
thanks guys, without seeing the lens I guess it's safer to side-step it, it's not much cheaper than a non-problematic example so probably not worth the fuss, thanks, D
thanks so much for the heads up, none earlier yesterday, now 2-3.... cheers, D
thanks for the suggestion guys, but I have no such skills, nor do I have the time or inclination to learn, looking for a ready-made solution, thanks, D
Found a guy maybe 8 years ago who made Busch Pressman boards at a reasonable price but various house moves, computer meltdowns etc mean I no longer have his details or even name
if anyone can point...
HI guys
I'm looking at buying a cheap 4x5 lens at present which is described by the seller as having some balsam separation. I'm just wondering how problematic it's likely to be.
I've never had a...
wow, loads of great insight, thanks guys. I tried a P for landscape in the past and it was a dose. I also tried my current Sinar C with broken front F standard and it was also not a great experience....
beyond my making abilities, and the photo wasn't mine, I'll have a think and maybe buy an adapter at some point, thanks, D
