The lens pens use activated charcoal, I believe. I have a bottle of ROR--haven't used it yet.
I have no idea of the cost involved vs buying a factory or other aftermarket lens board, but wouldn't sending the file to have it printed in metal be preferable?
I believe the black Omega negative carriers are anodized.
I looked it up and wouldn't recommend No. 2 or No. 3 for a negative carrier. It is fragile and does not handle abrasion.
Anodizing would be ideal, but my understanding is it can be quite expensive for a small part like a negative carrier--there is minimum charge for the process.
I use a pocket wizard triggers system. There is a mini phone jack to connect the receiver to the strobe power pack. Same with the transmitter, you can use a 1/8" to PC cord for the camera if there is...
I second that if you are saying don't print on canvas to art with. Unless you're going to paint on it.
Probably not, it was a school project from 13 years ago. But maybe he has had the opportunity to put it into practical use. Or he could share the plans or shots of a model if he made one.
While I am not a chemist, I would think the problem with plastic bottles would be more from chemicals in the plastic leaching into the solutions rather than oxygen being absorbed by those solutions...
But if this osmosis is significant, they have been oxidating since they were put into plastic containers at the factory, plus oxidating even more during decantation. I would think the solutions are...
How does that work for liquid developers that come from the supplier in plastic?

I use this. It came with my Leofoto gear, but is available on its own....
I always mix developer fresh before printing or developing. But fixer and stop bath are sitting ready on the shelf in 5-liter containers.
U.S. spelling=liter.
Freestyle sell 5-liter containers. I use them all the time, they fit neatly on a shelf.

Interestingly, when I draw, I start with the shadows that define the major shapes and dynamic of the subject or scene. Lines are added later.
Let's hope someone can step up and fill his place. His kind of service is rare and when you need it, essential. I'm hoping his retirement is because he wants to and not because the business is no...
I have used Rodinal 1+50. Nice, but grainier than HP5+ in Rodinal. Here is the chart from the data sheet.

Fill the first sink with water, leave the water running at a moderate flow and set up a short hose to siphon the water from the first sink the the second, letting that one drain?
The first image you posted is a print dryer, the kind that was used by photographers for glossy fiber-based paper, producing a high-gloss glaze by squeegeeing the prints face-down on the polished...
I am not aware that Adams had any influence in Weston moving to Carmel, but I don't really know that much about Adams. My understanding is Weston first moved to San Francisco to work for a portrait...
Weston's property was a wedding gift from his farther-in-law and the original house (more like a really nice cabin) was built by his son and is still in the family. I don't know about Adams.
Sometimes I come across Ansel Adams images I’ve never seen.
Often, they’re not from his landscape portfolio, but from his client portfolio, like this one:

It looks like a mediocre photo...
I use a digital camera to check the lighting, a flash meter for the exposure.
Forget the tie. He should be the one wearing an apron.
Inflation.

I bought a cam from Shapeways a while back. Although I have yet to calibrate it and use it, here are the instructions from the designer.

I know of many people who make notes in pencil on the back of a print prior to exposing the paper. I do not know that that has ever caused a problem.
For commercial use, a release is necessary for certain buildings. The Chrysler building comes to mind, as well as the lighting display on the Eiffel Tower. I am sure there are many more. If the...
Remember when people went into a booth, maybe even closed the door to make a phone call? Now they gab out loud in public, sometimes on speakerphone so everyone gets both sides of their annoying...
The video on the site is quite wonderful. I did not realize he was making collages now (or at least at the time the video was made).
It is a Gitzo 2530 with a Manfrotto 131 Lateral Arm and a 10-lb sandbag counterweight. The Gitzo 3-series is sturdier and would be better if you need to go higher. If I need more height instead of...
Depends on how high above your subject you need to be. A boom arm and counterweight could work but if it is too long or not sturdy enough it could introduce vibrations that will take forever to stop....
How do wide angle lenses fare with the Technika/Cambo adapters? Don't they require a recessed board, at least for the Cambo?
Mel Pierce Camera used to be one the the pro shops in Hollywood for ages. I bought an Explorer hard case from them last year through ebay. I don't know if they have a physical store any more or just...
I agree, Blurb's black and white is disappointing because of the color shifts, even page-to-page. Sort of inevitable with CMYK on an unsupervised press. Their color work is better, still not stellar....
