Have you replaced the battery? Try a new one before you send it off - and clean the contacts for it before you install it. Maybe... it is that simple?

Before you start cutting inspect the glass very carefully for imperfections, bubbles, etc. Museum glass does have some at times and if you see it before cutting you might avoid a final piece with an...

When posting lately I am getting a message of "are you sure you want to leave the page". If I check YES it goes back to what I was posting/answering and then I get the message I have already posted....

Any problems with cracking or peeling from the glass after some time has passed?
Have seen Carbon prints on metal and all have eventually had problems. Seems the expansion/contraction of the metal...

Thank you for the information. Appreciate it.


Are your Spaghetti farms more productive than those over the border in Switzerland? ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8scpGwbvxvI

I have one question concerning Italy - specifically Italian food.
What was "Italian Food" before Marco Polo brought Pasta back from his trips to China?

Won't a Ries platform head work?

Which puts out more air pollution, the jets or the prop jobs?

Rubber shower pan liner pushed in place and folded over the sides works - also for a full sink.

Sheets of plastic work. Lay it in, fill the tray and empty later and throw it out as it wears.

If using a wood lens board you can cut it very close and thread the lens into it as if it were machined for the job.

You might check out Renaissance Wax. Some use it and others don't. Try some on a print and compare to the same print without it. Only way to know if it is for you is to try some.

If I crop just below the far shore I like it a lot better.

Use the film you plan on using for your "serious work".

It will help you getting used to how it handles and help you hone your skills as you do so with the benefit of quality should you come up...

Yes, some excellent work. Was not seeing IR in storm photos. More in the landscapes - the LA Basin and such. He could have found the days after windstorms and rain but the clear air sure does look...

Is Mitch Dobrowner shooting InfraRed for many of his images?

http://mitchdobrowner.com/

A number of them do have "The Look" of IR.

What does this mean for those shooting LF X-Ray film?

Would letting the inspectors see that it is X-Ray film make any difference?

Now you can do them with Sodium Ascorbate and see if the reported/claimed benefits are real.

Even in the rain?

I believe the image should show what you want it to show, sharp or not.

That said, the excuse of "I wantlike it that way" is NO excuse for shoddy work, poor exposure, processing and printing.

How does the film work with expansion and contracion development? Forgiving, or does it go "so far - and stop"?

That was a real problem with Bergger films some years back. Looked good but did not...

The film used was Ilford FP4+.

While the 8x10 and 5x7 cameras were exposing film he was shooting in cell areas with 35mm TechPan. Much faster lenses and the contrast of the film was a nice boost...

Does Reciprocity for long exposures keep going on - forever?

Or does it go "so far" and then just kind of stop. Not going past a certain point and after that it is basically done?

Asking after...

Just be very careful.

You start with flashing.

Then you might advance to Streaking.

Next thing you know you are arrested Streaking across the 40 yard line at the SuperBowl... ;-)

Is it too big for the size of the cameras?

Easiest way I know of is to do some basic tests. Start with the published/suggested filter factor and then open up about a half stop at a time for a few exposures. Develop and check the negatives and...

My Uncle gave me permission to post these after I saw what he had done. North Dakota, clear skies, warm night in the 50's and NO wind.

Two images, first a composite looking towards the South....

Check out some good framing shops that specialize in Conservation Framing. From materials to presentation they should be able to help with what you are looking for.

Stretch Wrap/shrink wrap for skid pallets works well.
Wrap it, A bit of padding where the "eyes" protrude and a few turns of strapping tape. Slap on a label and you have a package that will not...

Why not a baby carry cart? Have seen some deluxe models, covered and rainproof for less than $30 at rummage sales.

Some you push, some you pull. A few designs even seem to have shock absorbing...

Tuco,

The Wild Cat bridge is in Oregon. If you travel to Iowa you can find "The Bridges of Madison County" and maybe see Clint Eastwood hanging around?
You an also visit John Wayne's birthplace...

Are all the negatives from the same camera/shutter?

Nothing was "dragged". Slower shutter speeds are used.

Rain isn't generally difficult. Umbrellas to plastic covers to pop up tents - like those for ice fishing.
WIND is usually the culprit that makes it difficult.
If you use an umbrella don't use a...

Tuco, as I look at the image it does look very nice. But - I don't see it "looking infrared" - at least not the way I usually see IR images. Doesn't have the high contrast sky and clouds and the...

You have to remember by ordering with Amazon Prime - only costs $139 plus tax and you get Free Shipping.

Looking at the ad and at others it appears they were made that way. Yes, one side Red and the other Black.

As I wrote, is this something new or I just don't pay attention too well?

Saw an auction on eBay for 5x7 film holders. Darkslides are red on one side and black on the other. Wonder if they are IR safe?

Is this something newer or has it been around and I have just missed...

With a nice Soft Focus lens you can vary the look and get "blooming" effects. Coupled with IR it might be worth checking.
Maybe with something like a Pentax 85mm f/2.8 or 2.2 soft focus lens or one...

Anyone try IR Digital with a real Soft Focus lens? Would it add anything?

The camera club competitions with "hand of man" designations look at this stuff a lot.
Saw one that won a competition as Natural Landscape. Pointed out "hand of man" showed big time as the mountains...
