Hasselblad 500CM with 80mm Planar. Tri-X in HC-110.

An update. I developed a roll of 120 Bergger in HC110, also with 2 minutes presoak, but doubled the fixing time. I got negatives that had a standard base fog of .07, which is a little higher than the...

Last night I soaked one of the strips of negatives for about 5 minutes in a tray of double-strength hypo clearing agent. That didn't appear to have any effect at all. So I mixed up two tablespoons of...

Thanks, Fred. I will give that a try and see what happens.

I picked up a new batch of Panchro 400 from Freestyle. Earlier tests had looked good, so I bought 20 rolls. The first two I developed came out milky brown and it was apparent that the antihalation...

Both of these were shot with a Yashica Mat 124G on Tri-X film

Truman Lake, Missouri. Mamiya 7 with 80mm. Tri-X in HC-110.

Berryville, Arkansas.
Hasselblad 500C/M with 80mm Planar. Ilford Pan F in Spur developer.

I'm not sure it'll start any more....

Hasselblad 500C/M, 50mm Distagon. Tri-X film developed in HC-110.

If my memory serves me correctly that means two things. 1) I'm having a really good day. and 2) One of the lenses commonly used on that camera was a 12" Wollensak f4.5 -- NOT the soft focus version.

Getting some shots of my Dad's shop before I start doing some work on it.

All shots with a Hasselblad 500C/M and an 80mm Planar on Efke 25 film.

Last shots of the summer, before the leaves fell. I was out shooting with my Fuji GW690.

don't go into the light!!!!!!!

So did we ever find Steve?

Over the weekend, I developed the first batch that I shot. I have not yet printed them, but the negatives laid out on the light table suggest the following. And once again, until I print something...

I have this album. Kind of over-rated in my opinion. But the photography is...

I have the CPA-2, and I doubt if rotation differences exist between the two. Somewhere along the line I read that the 4 setting was recommended for the Expert series, and that's what I've used for...

That's not a serious issue. If the enlarger is a factory matched column, baseboard and head assembly, they are precision aligned at the factory and it would take a very serious jolt to knock it out...

I own an LPL and two Beselers...one 4x5 and one 5x7. The LPL is far and away the best enlarger I've ever used. I've seen them pop up for as little as $500.00 (once, anyway.) Bulbs are readily...

Does that mean my Simon and Garfunkel record with the Ramsey Lewis back cover will make good images?

Also, does it have a shelf life? I am getting it from a local photographer who is getting out of darkroom work all together. I wanted to buy his Ilford 500 head, but it sold for too much at the...

Thanks, guys. Mark, what I'm getting is the Photographer's Formulary version of Nelson. What kind of paper did you like with it? Andrew, thanks for that link. Not sure why it didn't come up for me...

I have an opportunity to get some of this at a very good price and I want to make the most of it. In the viewing of actual prints over the years, I recall that there seemed to be a great deal of...

You really shouldn't chug selenium toner. Sip it slowly and enjoy the bouquet.

The biggest issue I've had with supplementary clamps and plates is getting a solid lock onto the tripod head. It seems that larger cameras exhibit greater torque and when you try to move the camera...

If you can find it, Dean Collins had a nice video on environmental portraiture. He used artificial lights to augment natural light and got some really nice stuff.

I, too, have the HiTech series with half a dozen filters. My biggest problem with that series has been trying to find adapter rings for oddball lenses, such as the old Ektars and Goerz lenses. I...

Huh? What's happenen'? Wha'd I miss?

Royal Pan film in DK50.

I can see why. This looks like a regular film-burner.

Dang! Mine cost $45.00! I overpaid. Of course it is a nice Cambo. Wound up spending three times that to get the accessories I wanted.

I'm going to support Berenice's stance. Most of the "modern" lenses are going to be so close to one another in performance that seeing any real difference at standard print size/viewing distance is...

Shot this at an ice cream shop in the next town over from me while I was still in Vermont.

Well, it might cost more that twelve bucks if you don't already have the fabric...but I did, so there! I went to Lowe's and bought twelve 2-foot lengths of the narrower PVC pipe. They had a bunch of...

So anyway, we have this dog...half black lab and half basset hound. about three weeks ago, he brought back a tiny baby bunny very carefully held in his teeth and said to my wife, "Mommy, look what I...

And maybe a bit of user effort?

Got my prints yesterday, but since I got in close to midnight, didn't open them until today. I don't just feel humbled. I feel humiliated. Mine was the worst print of the bunch! Great stuff!

Reality is but a crutch for those who can't handle mushrooms.
