hi joho

it took me a while to find the quote : " A general rule of thumb is multiply the focal distance by 3 to minimum acceptable coverage....150 mm therefore should cover nicely i.e. 6 inch...

The new leisure-class an’t get too much “leisuring” with a slow lens.
I always thought the terminology had to do with modernity..
not to be confused with the 19 teens -30s-fast that was all about...

the caffenol won't stain your photographs brown like using coffee as a toner, it's not in there for longer than a min or 2, but it does work well as a developer for paper as a 2nd bath if you change...

Hi Ig

I know exactly what you mean. I stopped reading the ads
and go right for the photos and ask a few questions ..
sometimes I get honest answers sometimes I think they must

have you tried the developer 1:2 ? I've never used 1:1. Like what Mark suggested I'd do a double bath of developer, I've never done it with the a120, sounds perfect though. I done what he...

fun process, good luck !

the recipe I have ( that is untested by me )
uses 3 oz of ammonia / 26 oz print developer +4 oz sodium thiosulfate (not speed fixer)

not sure how well it works with modern emulsions but it is a...

if the image is upside down and reversed on the glass too, there might be some problems with the glass.

the problem with generalizations is they aren't completely true ..
like anything else it is just knowing one's materials and camera and your own ( or taught to you ) methods.
some films ( and...

Couldn’t agree more! That’s what making art / photography / sculpture/ making food / painting is about. It’s funny most people think poinfnshoot digital or phones or printers or anything is easy. ...

you might expose it at box speed and your HC110 supposedly that's good for expired film ( I've never used it so I'm not sure the dilution though ). if you have any print developer lying around

Talbot FIXED his calotypes and salt prints in salt water before Hershel learned him about HYPO.

there's a photographer who owns what was lighthouse lab in Australia, Stephen Frizza ( I believe he's still processing Kodachrome for people using his own methods and madness ) .. a dozen or so...

box speed / iso / asa don't change but the way you expose it for your own way of doing things may. there are no rules
if you haven't sent your shutters out for a CLA lately you probably have no...

little kids don't get a fine for making mistakes. depending on the chemistry, there is very little problem with putting developer + stop, in the drain in most places, it's mostly the pH they worry...

maybe? he was kind of old, his photography was superb



not sure about that, that's as much of a generalization is you commented on. in the nearly 40 years I've been selling silver recovery...

Hi Mal Paso

that's what some folks do .. I remember watching Sunday Morning with Charles Kuralt in IDK 1991, when I was stranded in a motel for a few days
because of a blizzard .. they did a...

there's a few other recipes out there that don't use AT, but they aren't thoroughly tested, un-finicky and working ..
it might just take adding a little ammonia to your fixer that was similar to...

hi again Tom

I just wanted to show you what I was talking about when I said doesn't turn black ..

Paul: a friend I went to school with didn't bother with all the imported curves &c, he just made a good positive in PS and inverted it for all the processes he was doing ( salt+albumen prints,...

that was a great video !
I haven't heard of many people ( maybe 3 in 20 years! ) using dry collodion plates, it's great to see people mastering these old techniques, cause sooner or later it's just...

Hi Alan

it's a real riddle then !
I had a feeling you were doing it right but you never know, this is the internet after all, and it could have been a 14 year old girl who hacked your account,...

Hi Alan

How are you lowering your film into the tank ?
like you said surge-mark artifacts like that sometimes happen when you lower the hangers in the deep tank too fast or when you raise / lower...

toyo probably made adapters like that, very hard to find. Adam &co. at SK Grimes can make something ( or already have )...

yeah , forgetting the shutter is open is always my problem too .. it doesn't mater a copal shutter, focal plane, or box camera ...luckily (unfortunately?) that's the least of my problems !

it might be good for lith, paper negatives and lumen prints if has fog..
im using 30 year old paper at present –– im lucky, room temp stored and it's fine, but it's not cachet,

Hi Patrick
I've never used the zebra product, that's why I held off commenting in your post ( I can't take another public scolding ! )
but .. I've used both the rockland and my own emulsion to do...

Nice!
I also love how anything below 1/2S vanishes everything that's not nailed down.

I've been using my oriental branded one since like 1988, works every time and worth every penny ...

yup.

I've used a post level for decades, works every time

+1 !

careful, this whole paper negative thing can be addictive ...

use photo paper expose it in daylight to get your image ( it can take 10 mins to hours depending on the light ) like you do with POP paper but don't develop/ fix it .. won't turn black. just...

hi g

I use water instead of stop bath, I use sprint speed fixer and perma wash. I don't tone anything and I use the same developer for both film and prints.

other people have more complex and...

LOL. and not the state police trying to arrest him !

I knew people who were reported on by some lab and .. well, lets just say it didn't end in a cigar, a wink and a back slap ..
they had their...

cause I don't even have to develop-out the prints if I don't want, I can make my own SGE in 1/2 hour and cause it's fun .. but to be honest, b+w really isn't b+w at all.
