We are anticipating a couple of attendees from the east coast this year. Last year one of them drove from Vermont or Connecticut I believe.

Roger, I believe you and I have a mutual friend. It might even be you who purchased a Lumedyne system from me around 1997 or so if I recall. Ditto the invitation to Chesterton in January. It's a...

I've used HC-110 for over 30 years and have not had any problems whether tray processing, in a tank or on hangers. I presoak for 1 minute and then into the developer. Never had issues at any...

Sintra is a brand of foamed pvc products and for many years was the best and most widely available. Now there are other brands: Celtec, Komacel et al. These are widely distributed and most sign and...

2mm sintra is widely available and cuts easily with a knife. The edges can be sanded to remove any burrs. You can try any sign supply or Laird Plasics, Grimco etc.

If I may chime in regarding the original question about the difference between Ragmount and Colormount? Ragmount incorporates a thermoplastic adhesive while Colormount is a solvent acrylic....

I love these two images! Great work.

A piece of 1/4" acrylic is enough.

I like it cropped from the bottom to eliminate much of the foreground and all of the trunk on the lower right. That seems to draw things in for a better composition IMHO.

In the end, it's whatever works.

One final point if I may. When I say I shoot at EI 200 that is not to reflect that the film is slow, but it may be accounted for in the bias of my exposure meter. It is imperative to test film and...

My results are similar to Paul Barden. I find my film speed to be around EI 200 in HC110 dil B. I do find I need to give a little more development time than with either HP5 or TXP. Years ago I used...

What format is this? 6x7? 645?

I see processing streaks, is that what you're referring to?

I'm sorry but this is like stating that because you only use the yellow #8 filter 5% of the time that you don't really need filters except for when things go wrong. Masking is a tool. Perfect...

I agree! What's important is that you get to the destination, not how you get there.

I don't think it does much to fix a problem negative as it does help to enrich local contrast by upping the paper grade required for a good print. The problem in film is that there is a limited range...

Hey guys let's take it down a notch please? Like any craft it takes TIME to hone your skills and develop your own personal style. This doesn't happen overnight whether you're a woodworker, potter,...

Results from changing one component or another are subjective. One person's contrasty or soft is another's not contrasty enough or soft enough. There is no substitute for trying it yourself.

Very nice!

Nice shot. Similar idea and a good example of why I used the graduated filter to darken the sky and keep detail in the shadowed foreground.

I like the 45mm very much. The big glass does offer some challenges if you only have 75mm x 75mm filters. Best if you have 100mm x 100mm.

Thanks! I forgot to list also that this was printed on Ilfobrom Galerie and toned in selenium.
