Appears Austin is getting a few ready for Worldwide Pinhole Photography day. 28 April, 2024
The last Sunday this month.

'If your pictures aren't good enough, you aren't close enough'. Robert Capa.
Photobomb?
What is that?
Wayne never enlisted and even filed for a 3-A draft deferment, which meant that if the sole provider for a family of four were drafted, it would cause his family undue hardship.
At one point...
Winterset, Iowa is the birthplace of John Wayne and home of "Bridges of Madison County", the movie. Many covered bridges to check out and photograph. John Wayne home is a good visit.
Nice town...
No, you don't. Yesterday 6 hours of freezing rain coated everthing 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick in winds of 20-40 mph. Roads are a lot of fun. Then we had 3-4 inches of snow overnight. Driving this morning...

We don't fool around with small snow slide. We have the continental...
It is winter. Snow is normal. Big snow storms and small. Sensationalizing the stories gets worse every year.
Basic preparation and supplies for a week of being snowed in is simple.
Don't agree on "Better Papers". Very limited selection now compared to years past. Limited choices in surface texture and types. Especially limied in Warm Tone compared to the past - thanks to no...
Hybrid workflow makes for magic in the darkroom for some.
Shoot digital with high quality files and produce digital negatives to contact print in your darkroom. You can dial in contrast and work...
If the property is posted and you know you are trespassing, why?
Make your contact prints before obsessing on the negatives. Judge how well they work from prints. Unless you are way off/over/under exposed making a print will tell you a lot more about the quality...
Some of us have "Age Fog" and it has nothing to do with our photography. ;-)
When you get to Nebrasks try to visit Ft. Robinson State Park. Bighorn Sheep to the horse stables where George Patton trained for the Olympic games. You can stay in Cavalry barracks with halls tall...
Some years ago Kodak had a publication that said it was not harmful "in small amounts" - such as generally used in a home darkroom.
You will have to check their publications for more information.
"although many of the youtuber crown dont use a bordered easel all the time and still have good prints."
You are seeing them on a computer screen. Good is often not the same as Excellent.
Visit...
As has been said before: Remember that it is the Zone system, not the pinpoint system.
It gets you close and helps your controlling exposure(& development) for the images you want. Close - not...
Get and use one. Cheap preventive step for the surprise grit that can hit the pipes. You don't know when the Water Dept is flushing pipes or some glitch in the system occurs.
Have you processed at least 50 rolls/sheets of film yet?
Need a number of rolls and some longer time usage so you have a good baseline for comparison.
The fact you have not printed anything yet...
After rinsing film and removing the enlarger from the bathroom you can assure clean negatives using one simple solution.
As you photo flo/wetting agent run hot water in the shower and steam up the...
Deardorffs have the rear standard that moves forward on the bed. 120 Nikkor works just fine - with one exception. The Bellows is compressed and movements aren't easy other than rising and falling...
Remember when making decisions on how a print will look you don't always want a literal interpretation of what is on the negative. Dodging, burning, paper & chemistry choices all give us a lot of...

Duct tape isn't good for cameras but is a life style for some.
In HARVEY no one ever got a photo of his sidekick.
Dehumidifier are not that great in dry/desert climates and many places during winter cold/extreme cold.
Driving to and back from WalMart costs in fuel. Rural locations can add a fair amount to the...
Starting out why not go with Ilford FP4+, a standard that works well for all skill levels?
Might as well choose one film and stay with it for a year or more to really learn it. FP4+ is worth it....
Have the whole series on DVD. Liked it when I was a kid and still like it now.
My favorite tho - Lee Marvin in M Squad. Lt. Frank Ballinger was a good one. Nothing to do with Photography. Still my...
There is nothing wrong with Kodak Xtol film developer.
Please tell is that Jim Harbaugh and the Michigan Wolverines are not involved! Kodak has been cheating us on chemistry and Michigan on football sign stealing - now we'll be getting Black Dektol?
In case some are confused, the house in the painting American Gothic is near Eldon, Iowa. About 110 miles East of Winterset. An interesting place to visit.
Shoot color. B&W auroras generally look like clouds. You lose a lot of the wonder without color.
Is this the photo business equivalent of reintroducing the Yugo car as he Guyo?
Hope you will favor us with some images when you visit John Wayne's home town - also the location for the movie Bridges of Madison County.
Then there is the old home that Grant Woods painted,...
7 stops? Thought this was about the TinMan taking a Bus Trip.
Sounds like your Dektol is bad. The dry chemicals should not be discolored.
Old and sub par lenses it won't make a lot of difference.
Buy premium quality lenses and use sub par filters - Why?
May be illegal but it is reality. Why would someone take a flyer on a candidate with a known history that is a problem when many other qualified candidates without it are available?
Corran, Might let him know that putting a lens pouch or something under the middle of the bellows can prevent so much sagging and will save an image one of these days.
Yes, monitor is calibrated.
Problem is that after a first print showing too dark I can lighten the image a full stop or more and do another print - comes out the same of very little difference....
