Similar feeling when, shortly after having had a drink out of my favorite glass full of ice tea, I blew some dust off my negative. Didn't realize there were lots of drops of ice tea on my mustache! ...
Almost 80 new photographs have been added to the site over the past two weeks. You might want to recheck it. Photographers who updated include Andersen, Eskey, Leibow, Palmenberg, Peters, Farber,...
Rob, What amazes me is the NUMBER of photographers. There's gotta be 100,000 people who call themselves Photographers. As for me, yep, I was an art major when I first went to college decades ago. ...
By the way, thanks for the compliment, David. :)
Heavy? Crushingly so! I actually had to turn the lights on in the darkroom while exposing them corners to get 'em that dark! Actually, the "stuff" that was in those corners was so darn distracting...
Oh, by the way, for those of you who visited our local Imageworks site several weeks ago ( http://www.imageworks.org ), there are six or seven or so of the members who now have their full complement...
Well, after I just went out and comforted "Willy" in the garage and told him you really DID like how he looks, and promised to take him out on some dirt trails tomorrow, he settled down and seemed to...
Wow! To ALL of you who offered critique - THANKS, so much! I appreciate the fact no one said they hated my images, and the comments opened my eyes to lots of things I hadn't considered.
The...
Ok, I had a local web designer do me up a web site. It has about 25 B&W large format images in the gallery/albums. What I would really like is for some other photographers to look at it and tell me...
Mark, Wasn't Don Boyd a part of that group, until he moved to New Mexico? He and I corresponded a couple of time about comparative group activities. And, weren't you in the Sedona Smith/Chamlee...
Tucson isn't part of Phoenix yet. There is a long waiting list and you have to apply. Does Tucson have any references?
Our local large format group, Imageworks, has just started a new web site for their group: http://www.imageworks.org You are welcome to visit. All regular members submitted two images to start, but...
So, will it involve the Center for Fine Art Photography in any way? Just curious.
Just got back from the five day "Expressive Black and White Print Workshop" that ended Sunday at Sexton's home in Carmel Valley. It was great! Not only do you see lots of truly great photography...
My favorite site: http://www.chrishoneysett.com/ With the musical background and the muted shades of gray, it is a really soothing site. Simple? Depends on how you define it. To me its simple. ...
Small bungee cord thingee with a built in clip at both ends. No idea where I found it. Can hang it on tripod adjusting handles or clip it under the camera (cloth over the top) for shade when...
He was at the Tempe Art Festival here in Arizona last month. All black and white images, if I remember correctly. Took my wife over to see his booth, which she had passed by, and SHE bought two of...
Personally? I'm flattered! :D
Brook and Daniel, Thanks for the comments and help. Makes me feel a little more comfortable. :)
So, in calculating exposure for a negative I accidently make a mistake and shoot at f/30 something that should have been f/32. In addition, its a four zone scene so I would normally develop for N+1....
I just hate the absentminded daydreaming that results while you sit around in the black night of the darkroom, waiting for time to pass for one reason or another. You can be a thousand miles away,...
Shhh.... In the past seven years I've never used anything but TMax 100. Almost understand it now. :o
I'm strictly zone system - which doesn't restrict one who wants varying results. Normally you just expose for the shadows and develop for the highlights, as the rule says. But, if you want to place...
John, Stay away from caffeine. And attorneys with lofty ideals. Or any attorneys. :)
Roger Palmenberg, who teaches portraiture at our local community college, spoke about blurb.com at this month's Imageworks meeting here in Phoenix. He, and Imageworks President, Jim Kayser, both...
Bill and Brian: Thanks! You just shot my book budget for the next year. :-(
Newhall, as a curator, probably (just my uneducated guess) also had a "new world" bent. Since most original photography originated in Europe, is there a book written in English which chronicals the...
View Camera, LensWork, Aperture, Smithsonian, National Geographic, Arizona Highways, uhhh.... Think that's it. Did have B&W and Black and White. And Camera Arts. And Nikon World.
Some really cool detail in your follow-up crop. Looks like that thermometer thingee is inside the glass disk like John mentioned. With that kind of detail, is it worth "cropping" the sign in the...
I use IX for pure white in most cases: 0 I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX. That gives me 10 zones for personal work.
IF, I need to demonstrate the zone system with a "middle gray" as Zone V, then I...
Another thing you might try is to "sacrifice" a single readyload/quickload to education. Doesn't cost THAT much to learn from it. Take one and, in normal room light where you can see exactly what...
Specifically because I discovered that all those photographers getting detail in their prints that I couldn't obtain with 35mm were using large format cameras. I therefore joined a large format...
Oops! Sorry. There were two more pages of comments I missed again, and one of them was a comment by you which pretty much answered my question. Thanks.
So, Kirk, what do you think about the image?
So, how would you calculate the DOF? And, if they have an earthquake during the exposure it probably wouldn't even cause any blur because of length of exposure, right? (Unless part of the image...
I think it's fun to compare the relative amounts of note taking, checklists and obsessive behavior of the various large format photographers in our local group. Some only write down N+1 or N or N-1,...
Rodenstock. That's all I know. I have two. Only. No more. 210 and 115. They're perfect. :) Wish I had more ... :( 300, 450, 600 - or whatever.
Happy Birthday all the way back to Oslo, Hening. In another sixteen months I will become 64 also (I'm still a youngster :) ). And I love my ARCA-SWISS. It will be fun to see what you do with...
Scott, Isn't that where B&H is located? Look them up in the phone book and take a taxi over there in the morning. Lots of the taxi drivers know right where it is. Not too far from Times Square if...
