Very nice collection of pictures! I regret that I'll not get to see them in person.
Even if you don't post here much any more, you can always lurk.

Agreed in principle with Doremus here. The problem is that many kinds of light that "look" more or less white to us are far from natural white light (of whatever color temperature) in terms of their...
Developing film in the field is pretty hardcore (not to mention voluntarily wrestling with a Mamiya C330). I have to admire her grit and originality. Some of the images are strange and compelling, to...
FWIW I use two-bath fixing with TF5 (formerly with TF4). The first bath, which does most of the work and takes the beating from the citric acid stop bath, gets dumped at the end of the session. The...
It's the most "intimate" way of viewing the actual image, more so even than a contract print (which is one generation away). A good daguerreotype is a unique gem. This is a beauty!
Have you thought about working in first light, just after sunrise? Few people are up and about them. Your project
makes me think of Eugene Atget (1857-1927), one of my very favorite photographers....
Wow. That's a beauty. Nice work Horseman.
Regarding the white lights that you use for viewing your prints, I would caution you to not make them too bright, especially if they are "white" LED lights. If you view a print (especially a wet...
That's a really pleasing image, Gabe. How often have we seen these moments of special light, and not had our cameras set up!
Steve's procedure is what I do. There is practically no problem with youngsters hurting themselves with citric acid. It is used in canning food, after all, and tasting the powder will cure you...
All very nice work, Gregg. I especially like the Linz cathedral photograph.
A mysterious and slightly disturbing image, Potocki. I like it.
Agreed with Martin, they are lovely, Michael.
I would just state that in general, exposing one stop more than the film speed suggests (i.e., set your meter
to one-half the stated box speed), and developing gently (less than the usual...
Thanks, that helps.
Can anyone recommend a firm that can take a tiff and make an inkjet print of it, without cropping the image? I don't need any color management or PS optimization done. The places I used to use are no...
Agreed with the others. Make the pictures you want and to hell with the commenters. Everybody has a story to tell.
Some like to tell it on forums, others with a camera.
I liked it too.
I'm guessing that he used a diffusion enlarger. He's a very unassuming man-- you could always write to him. We talked shop one time, about lenses and so on. He encouraged me consider using 5x7. I...
I only used them to make pictures of oscilloscope displays. Not a particularly demanding application, but they worked. It never occurred to me to recycle one for photography, but why not. Now, of...
To make larger prints of 4x5 negatives you will need shorter focus lenses, say 150 or 135mm. Roll film (square format) is usually enlarged with an 80mm lens. I cannot make out the different focal...
I see the spots now. They are very small! Film can get "exposed" by friction, bending, or maybe sliding into the film holders or developing tank (I'm not familiar with the kind you use), though I've...
I couldn't really see anything that looked like fog in the images you posted here. Film holders (and the camera itself) are often the bad actors in situations where negatives get fogged. You could...
That will be a partial, right? I read today (in anticipation of the total one over the mid-to-eastern US later this month) that the next total eclipse in the CONUS would be in... 2045 as I recall? I...
Wow. Mysterious and powerful.
I like this very much, John.
Interesting memories. That's good.
One thing about the desert, you see strange people there, and strange things tend to happen. There are very few people there, but strange people seem to be drawn...
If the solution is perfectly clear and there is no particulate matter on the bottom of the vessel, it is as mixed as it's ever going to get. The chemicals go into solution, individual molecules...
Hi, ASA1000. Reading about your processing steps, it seems a bit strange to me that you flatten your prints for four minutes at 165 deg F in a press, and allow them to cool between two sheets of...
In your picture, Bernice, I see reflection, refraction, transmission, absorption, and diffraction. And artistic vision.
That is to say, I like it.
You get an "A" in this assignment.
Did (or does) your Father love Schubert? I do.
Very light, but annoying scratches (not broad rub marks) will sometimes become practically invisible by simply reversing the acrylic in the frame, i.e., putting the outside on the inside. Sounds...
They will be if you step on them.
Stillness and light. Beautiful, classic work. Thank you for bringing it to our attention.
An unusual compositional design (in my opinion) but very effective in the use of the mix of warm light on the left and bluish light on the right. There are some really interesting things out there to...
It looks cold! Good picture.
You take better care of your Metol than I do, Philip. I assume that you are using the same batch of sulfite as before. There aren't too many variables here! Which is good. Are you developing in...
I bought a Pentax Spotmatic in 1971, another very compact camera. It survived a bicycle crash (lens needed new helicoid). I used it for years, photographing with Kodachrome 25 and Tri-X. After...
Lovely picture, nbagno.
Show me the DNA, and I'll find you the crime.
