I have a similar itinerary: trip to Welington in February, with a day or two free, so I'll be interested to see what recommendations come up. I will only bring a fairly compact camera kit; for me it...
I use the SP-445 daylight tank mentioned above. It's easy to load, somewhat like loading film holders, it develops four sheets with half a liter of solution, and it also works as a film washer, which...
Thanks very much indeed. Interesting to compare Ilford's new LIRF compensation factors with the work Howard Bond did in 2003. He was trying to retain density in Zone III, and what he found for HP5+...
Hey, there's a furryurry on the Pentax forums too; what a coincidence. :cool:
Welcome, you've found the right place to hang out and learn more about large format. Lots of image sharing in other...
Welcome dar.mar, and what an excellent introduction! I love the perspective of this; feels very Modernist.

The backstory makes this majestic image all the more impressive.
Another from later that evening, same roll:

Beautiful portrait, with a pose and expression that are just a bit enigmatic. Also, I like that she has a halo. :cool:
Agreed, great image to showcase the magic of Velvia.
Here's another of my pseudo-6x17 images made with a Pentax 645n:

I certainly wasted some film during this session, forgetting to change my meter to the correct ISO for the first two shots. For that and other reasons, I've decided it's not a good idea for me to...
Welcome back to large format and film. I too have found digital photography a great learning tool, and a route back to film.
Thanks for the idea -- if i do anything with this one I very likely will crop at least some more of the top.
DennisD: Iceland is indeed full of opportunities for the photographer. I found it...
I had posted the color version of this in Images of mistakes - good or bad... Fortunately the FP4+ version is salvageable; no light leak and more exposure latitude.

That's the one North Carolina lighthouse I have yet to see. Looks toy-like in IR.

Go early to avoid the crowds; we had the whole place to...
This is tangential to what you've asked about, but you might find it interesting to read about the first-ever AT through hike, in Walking with Spring by Earl V. Shaffer.
Quite a change of scenery...
Just lucky: the bird (a Green Heron) flew into the composition I had just finished setting up, and obligingly landed on just the right branch. This is a slight crop.

Thanks, sent a PM.
That's exactly how I think of them!
Beautiful tones and composition as usual; love the one imperfect leaf.
Inspiring work here from Shailendra, FredrickSummers, Corran, Lachlan 717 --- wow. I've been focusing (ha) on the 4x5 recently and it's been a while since I had the 617 out. This page really makes me...
Yes.
This morning I did some more reshaping in hot water, carefully bending the tabs back on the offending side. Film released easily, but there was still a streak of anti-halation dye left....
Both are curved some, but it's only one side of one of them that tends to stick. I did try the hot water trick to straighten in, and had some success. Having reported above that I solved the sticking...
Tim, thank you for this excellent device. It's not every day we see a new product for large format photography. I hope it is a big success.
I've just run several batches through mine. After a...
It's all I've needed, so far, but then I've got maybe 1% the experience of some of the other posters here. Actually, that might be an overly generous estimate of my experience.
I like having discreet pan and tilt actions, but I like for both of them to be level to begin with, because I like keeping the camera level as a default, including when I pan the camera. As others...
Having an appropriate image with which to revive this thread, I've enjoyed looking over the many excellent images in it. And am reminded by the large number of missing images that maybe attachments...
Looks fantastic and I'm looking forward to getting my copy next month!
Yes, and yes. I can't conceive of a set of guidelines that will do substantially better than the current ones, at keeping moderator workload reasonable while keeping discussion civil and on-topic. If...
Beautiful. I would have removed the stick, and I would have been wrong.
Wow. Nice work, and nice digs. :cool: But I hope they ordinarily use shades to keep the sun off the piano. :eek:
JeRuFo, I love the depth and spacious feeling of this, also the balanced tones.
Thanks Heroique, I'm honored to be included in the comparison!
