Thanks, Kino. Maybe I'll play with dilutions later. I just realized that Ilford makes a thinner paper than I used. That would make it easier to load into the holders. I'll also try using a...
Thanks, Ned. I'll give it a try at some point.
Thanks, Ned. The prints with the yellow/green filter were fine. The ones with no filter (and the lens closed down a stop), were too contrasty to scan. I only tried because an extra stop of...
Thanks, Guys. I'm pretty happy for a first attempt. Being able to process everything quickly, as well as scan on a regular scanner, is a big plus. I'll try some film soon, but I don't currently...
Good composition, Bryan!

I try not to get closer than about 4 feet from the front of the camera to the subject.
Excellent work, Jon!
Thanks, NormaN!
Yeah, great job, Dave!
I just took some portraits using the following setup:

In the late 1950s, my father owned and operated a sweet shop, with a grill, soda fountain.....and photo supplies. Every now and and then he'd replace the light bulb in the restroom with a photo...
Thanks, Ned. Yeah, mannikins are creepy! I didn't want to subject a human to the initial tests, especially with the flash power needed. The head makes quite a "Whomp!" when it goes off. Today I...
Toyo 45AII
Thanks, Kino. I did look through those.
First attempt.
Speedotron 2400ws through a Blackline head with a 20" dish with a diffuser.
Ilford RC Portfolio Photo Paper -Glossy
Multigrade developer in a Jobo print drum.
Yellow/green...
Thanks, Erik. I probably have one of those somewhere....
I haven't developed prints in a Jobo drum in a very long time. I'd like to develop some 8x10 Ilford RC paper negatives in a 2830 drum in with a CPP-2 + Lift. I'll just develop one sheet at a time....
[QUOTE=tuco;1713227]Clouds rolled in last evening here so no third chance. You may remember this Barn Door Tracker I made some years ago. It would have been good for your second shot. It's good for...
Thanks, Tuco. I went out again last night, but the bugs were horrible. I couldn't take it.
Thanks, Jon.
Yeah, I'm glad I tried even if I failed. Next time!
Jon, is that a statue of a Valkyrie?
I missed out on the first night of northern lights. Whenever I checked, it was raining....Went out last night, but I couldn't see anything. Tried to use my Tamron 35mm on my Z9 via an FTZII...
Great job on the test and video!
But as far as a pictorial strategy, I don't know....I like the no-pre-exposure image better. All of these contrast reducing methods tend to kill mid-tone...
Terrific tonality in that one, Tuco.
Good start, Kino!
Really neat photo, Jon!
Strong work, Jon!
Great job, Dave!

Great job!
Excellent photo, Ray.
To the original poster, did you figure it out?
That's a good one, Rick!
Good job, Bryan!
Tuco, good catch on the chins! I don't know who the people are, but people on my town's Facebook group are adding them. Good question about the orientation. This is how it was displayed in the...
I just scanned this print today.

I think it's an 8th grade class...
Good one, Randy!
Great suggestion, Dave!
Looks like light source fall off. Try scanning in two strips, centering each one on the light source and then stitching together.
